RF MAIN

The following control maintenance records belong to the MAIN area within the RF (Radio Frequency) category.

AdvBinMgmt- Store Delimiter When Both Layout Flags Are Active

Using this control record you can set the system to store the location code in the database with a delimiter.

Y = The system stores the location code with a delimiter when the two location layout delimiter settings are active. (For example, AA-01-A) From the Product Location Layout Maintenance, on the Location Layout window set Delimiter to Y and the Delimiter in Bar Code to Y.

N = Setting to N, the system does not store the delimiter for the location codes. (For example, AA01A)

Enabled RF Branches

Lists the total number of branches authorized to use RF, and the total that have been enabled using the RF Enable Inprocess Queue For Types control maintenance record. This record also lists which branches are enabled for RF.

Exclude RF Orders From Close Counter Order List

The setting determines whether orders that are being processed with RF show on the Close Counter Order window or not. This setting allows for system flexibility to handle the closing RF orders according to your branch processes.

RF Default Location Status

Select the default location status the system uses when RF programs create a location. We recommend that you select F-Floating, because the system deletes a floating location once it is empty. Options include:

RF Enable Tote Validation

For each branch, indicate whether the system validates that totes scanned during RF Picking, Receive Verify, Replenishment, Tote Consolidation, Tote Auditing, Move Product, and Tote Inquiry have TOTE as the prefix. More:

Options	Y - The system validates totes. If the scanned tote does not contain TOTE as the prefix, the system beeps and re-prompts the user to scan the tote. N - The system does not validate totes.
Outcome of setting this control record	Use this record to validate that a tote label is scanned for the Tote field.
Default Value(s)	No
Action if set to Null	Same as if set to No.
Additional Information	If the RF Scan Location To Tote For Immediate Put Away control maintenance record is set to Yes, set this control maintenance record to No so users can scan a location in the Tote field.

RF Enable Warehouse Inprocess Queue For Types

For each branch that uses RF, select the order types the RF system handles at the branch. More:

Options	S - Sales Order Picking C - Sales Order Receiving (Returns) P - Purchase Order Receiving R - Purchase Order Picking (Returns) T - Transfer Picking X - Transfer Receiving W - Work Order Picking V - Work Order Receiving H - Shipment Receiving Only
Outcome of setting this control record	If a branch is selected which is not enabled in this control maintenance record, then the count of authorized branches is checked. If the new branch being added exceeds the number of authorized RF branches for your company, then the system displays an error message. In addition, when all in-process types have been removed from a branch, then the branch is removed from the control maintenance record.
Default Value(s)	Blank
Dependencies	You can only enable Warehouse Inprocess Queue types for the number of branches enabled for RF in the Enabled RF Branches control maintenance record.
Action if set to Null	If no order types are defined, the system does not handle any RF order types at the branch.
Additional Information	If your company uses Manual Shipment Receiving, you must select the Shipment Receiving Only type to enable the creation of in-process records when shipments are created in Shipment Receipts Entry.
