Entering Orders Outside of RF

To enter an order outside of the RF Warehouse Management system, use the special functions in Order Entry to enter orders that allocate product from no-pick zones.

For example:

When a customer brings items to purchase from a self-serve area of the warehouse, on the Sales Order Entry screen, enter the order so that you allocate the items from the self-serve zone. These items are not sent to be picked in the RF system.

All orders that you enter in this manner allocate product from its primary location of the self-serve zone. If the product does not have a primary or secondary location in the zone, the system allocates the product from the first location with quantity in that zone. In either case, the system prints the product location on the shipping ticket.

Note: Define only one location for each product in a self-serve zone so the system knows from where to reduce inventory.

Enter orders without sending them to the RF system in one of the following ways:

Enter the zone next to the quantity of product on the order. The system does not to send that item to RF.
Enter the items through Quick Scan Entry.

Note: If you have a zone defined for a shipping branch in the Default Zone For OE Quick Scan control maintenance record, then the system selects that zone from which to reduce inventory.

To enter an item on an order without sending it to the RF system:

From the Orders menu, select Sales Order Entry to display the Sales Order Entry screen.
In the Ship To field, enter the customer's name.
In the Qty/Unit field, enter the product quantity followed by a comma and the product zone code.

For example, for 5 items from zone X, enter 5, X.

Note: If you do not enter the product quantity and the zone, you must delete the entry and re-enter the item using both the quantity and the zone. If you do not delete and re-enter correctly, the system does not take the item from the correct location. If the warning "Allocated Zone Is Not Set Up In Zone Maintenance!" displays, correctly re-enter the quantity and zone.

In the Product Description field, enter the product name or description.

The screen displays "Allocated from Zone: X" below the product description. This does not print on the ship ticket.

Complete the order.
Press Esc to save changes and exit the screen.

To enter an item on an order through Quick Scan Entry:

From the Orders menu, select Sales Order Entry to display the Sales Order Entry screen.
In the Ship To field, enter the customer's name.
In the Qty/Unit field, enter 1.
In the Product Description field, enter /QS to display the Quick Scan Entry screen.
Scan the item.

The system enters the product's bar code in the Scan Code field and the product's description in the Product Description field.
If a zone is defined for the shipping branch from which you are entering the order in the Default Zone For OE Quick Scan control maintenance record, then the system displays that zone in the Zone field.
If a zone is not defined for the shipping branch, use the Zone hot key to enter the zone from which the product is allocated.

To change the quantity of the item on the order, do one of the following:

In the Quantity field, enter the number being sold for an item.
Scan each item. The system consolidates the items that are the same onto one line.

Once you finish scanning all the items, press Esc to return to the Sales Order Entry screen.
Complete the order.
Press Esc to save changes and exit the screen.

Note: If you are allocating items from different zones, repeat this process for each item from a different zone and enter the respective zone for the item.

To change the product's picking location before printing a shipping ticket:

From the Orders menu, select Sales Order Entry to display the Sales Order Entry screen.
Place the cursor on the item that needs its picking location changed.
Use the Sched hot key to display the Line Item Scheduling screen.
In the Location/Tag/Lot field, press F10 to select the correct location or manually enter the correct location.
Press Esc to save the changes and return to the Sales Order Entry screen.
