To exclude a zone from RF picking:Pre-define zones as included in or excluded from RF picking:
The system selects locations in included zones for RF picks.
The system does not select locations in excluded zones for RF picks. Instead the system prints work tickets to direct picks as it does in a manual picking environment.
When sales or transfer orders are entered, the system determines whether to select the ordered items for RF picks based on the allocated zone. The allocated zone can be selected in one of the following ways:
Automatically based on the settings in the Inventory Allocation Method control maintenance record.
Manually by a user.
When excluding zones from RF picking, set up these zones to have work tickets printed.
To exclude a zone from RF picking:
From the Whse Mgt > Warehouse Maintenance menu, select Zone Maintenance to display the Warehouse Zone Maintenance screen.
Display the zone to exclude from RF picking.
In the Exclude PkQ field, enter Y to exclude the zone from RF picking.
Press Esc to save changes and exit the screen.
If you exclude zones from RF picking, set the system to print work tickets. Warehouse operators use the work tickets to pick the material. If you do not set work tickets to print, the system still excludes the zones from RF picking but does not print work tickets.

From the System > System Files menu, select Control Maintenance to display the Control Maintenance screen.
Set the Inventory Allocation Method control maintenance record to allocate necessary items from RF excluded locations.
Set the Print RF Excluded Items Work Ticket control maintenance record to print work tickets.
After setting both control maintenance records, press Esc to save the settings and exit the Control Maintenance screen.
From the Whse Mgt > Warehouse Maintenance menu, select Zone Maintenance to display the Warehouse Zone Maintenance screen.
Display the zone to exclude from RF picking.
