Using RF User-Directed Put Away

Use RF user-directed (non-directed) put away when you want to decide the order in which to put away product.

For example, if the item the system directs you to put away is at the bottom of your full tote, you may not want to follow the system's suggested route. Instead, you may want to put away the top item on your tote. Use user-directed put away to put away the items that are most convenient to get to on the tote.

To use RF user-directed put away:

Display the Directed Put Away screen by doing one of the following:

From the Recv Verify screen, after scanning in the product bar code and tote, use the PutAwy hot key.
From the Warehouse Management > RF Applications > RF Main Menu, select Recv Put Away.

Note: If prompted, log on to the character-based system.

In the Br field, edit the branch number to which the product belongs, if necessary.
Select the tote or totes that you want to put away by doing one of the following:

Use the Select hot key to display the Putaway Select screen. Place the cursor next to each tote you want to put away and press Enter. After selecting all totes to put away, press Esc to return to the Put Away screen.
Scan the tote you want to put away. Use the Add hot key to scan additional totes to put away simultaneously. Use this hot key to consolidate totes for the put away process.

The system displays the first item to put away and the put away location in directed mode.

Use the Dirct hot key to display Put Away screen in non-directed mode.

Note: If the tote you are putting away contains product that is being moved using the RF Move Product functionality, the put away mode defaults to non-directed and the Dirct hot key is disabled. After you put away the product being moved, the put away mode switches back to directed and the Dirct hot key is re-enabled. Use the Dirct hot key to return to non-directed mode.

Scan the item that you want to put away first.

The system displays the following:

Field	Description
Location	Location in which to put away the item. Note: The system determines this location based on settings defined in the RF Put Away Method control maintenance record.
Qty	Expected put away quantity based on the amount verified into the tote.
Curr Qty	Current quantity of product at the location.

Physically move to the product location.
Put the item in its location.
Scan the location.

Note: If you scan a location that is not the expected put away location, the system prompts you to confirm the location. Enter Y to confirm the location.

At the prompt to verify put away quantity, enter the quantity you are putting away.

Note: This prompt displays only if the RF Verify Put-Away Qtycontrol maintenance record is activated.

If the message "INCORRECT QTY!! Abort to Chng or Verify Putaway Qty" displays, do one of the following:

If you entered the incorrect quantity, re-enter the correct quantity.
If you are putting away a different quantity, press F12 and use the QTY hot key to change the quantity you are putting away. Then handle the overage or shortage, as needed.

If the product you are putting away is serial number-tracked, enter the serial number for the product on the displayed Serial Number Entry screen.

Note: If the Store Serial Numbers By Locationcontrol maintenance record is set to Y, the system stores serial numbers by location, which becomes the assigned location for such serialized products. This location-assignment directs you to put away product in the assigned location. During picking, the system directs you to pick product based upon the assigned location for the serial numbers using first in first out (FIFO) logic.

In the Lot field, for all lot controlled products, scan or enter the lot number for the product.

Note: To print lot labels, use either the Tote/Lot Label Printing screen or the Product Lot Barcode Labels screen.

Scan the next item you want to put away.
Repeat this process until you have put away all items.
Press Esc to save updates and exit the screen.
