Selecting Orders to Pick in the Wireless App

You can view orders to pick through your wireless device on the Pick Select screen and in Eclipse on the Warehouse In Process Status Queue rather than printing a pick ticket. To select orders to pick, access the Pick Select screen on your wireless device.

On your device, select one or multiple orders to pick. When you display the Pick Select screen, enter the pick group. You can display all picks by entering All.   

The orders or manifests from the queue display by pick groups. The order you select to pick may be a full or partial order depending on whether the order is spread across multiple pick groups.

For example, if an order needs to be picked and the products on the order are in pick groups A, B, and C, the system lists each pick group as a separate pick.

If you want a pick that crosses multiple zones to be combined into one pick, such as orders placed at the counter, define the ship via containing the pick as a one-pick ship via. Using the example above, if you define the ship via for that order as a one-pick ship via, the order displays as a pick on one line only and with a pick group of multi-zone (represented by an asterisk *). On the Pick Select screen, enter an asterisk (*) in the Pick Group field to view all multi-zone picks.

If ship via priorities are set in Ship Via Priority Maintenance, the system displays all orders in the queue based on this sequence. Ship via sorting priorities can also be defined in the Wireless Pick Selection Sort control maintenance record. The system displays all manifests based on their delivery sequence. You can also filter the picks by ship via.

Three instances can occur which make it unnecessary for you to select an order from the Pick Select screen:
