Picking Non-Manifest Orders Using RF

You can pick orders individually or you can pick multiple orders at the same time. Use RF picking to choose the most efficient process. For example:

If you were the only picker for a pick-up order, pick the order individually to complete it faster.
If there are multiple smaller orders to pick that are all shipping on the same truck, pick those orders simultaneously.

The two processes of picking single orders or picking multiple orders simultaneously are similar in the system.

If you are managing cut products, see Handling Cut Products Using RF.

To pick a single order:

From the Warehouse Management > RF Applications > RF Main Menu, select Picking to display the Pick In Process screen.

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

In the Br field, edit the branch for which you are picking, if necessary.

The system displays "No Picks Queued" on the screen if you have not already been assigned or selected an order to pick.

Use the Slct hot key to choose an order to pick, as needed.
Once you have selected an order, press Esc to return to the Pick In Process screen.
On the Pick In Process screen, notice the product information in the following fields:

Field	Description
Order	The order number.
Desc	The items to pick. Note: Use the Picks hot key to view all items in the order needing to be picked.
T	The product's status, such as S for stock.
Location	The location from where you pick the product.
Qty	The number of items that need to be picked.
Tote	The tote number displays after you scan it. Note: You can use multiple totes to pick a single order.

Note: If the letter C is highlighted in the Picks hot key, the pick that you selected has a comment attached to it. Either use the C hot key or click on the item description in the Desc field to view the comment.

Physically go to the picking location identified in the Location field.
Scan the product. The system displays the products unit of measure in the Per field.
Scan the location.

Your RF gun beeps in a positive tone if you have scanned the displayed product and location to pick and in a negative tone if you have scanned a product or location to pick that is not displayed. Tones are set up in the Eclipse Music Composer.
If you have scanned a product or location that is not displayed, the system prompts you to scan in the displayed product or location. You can still scan in another location, but the system prompts you to confirm the new location. The system takes product from the new location, as needed.

If the product you are picking is serial number-tracked, enter the serial number for the product on the displayed Serial Number Entry screen. If the serial numbers have already been entered, then the system displays the numbers for you.
Do one of the following to verify quantity picked:

If the prompt to verify quantity displays, enter the quantity picked.
If the pick-quantity is displayed, look to see that the actual quantity you pick matches the displayed quantity.

If the quantity you pick is different from the quantity displayed in the Qty field, use the Qty hot key to handle the pick variance. If authorized, you can increase the quantity to the product's packaged amount.

Scan the tote that you are using and place the picked product in it.

Note: The system displays the tote that you most recently scanned for picking, as long as you have not staged that tote. You can add another tote, as needed. If the RF Enable Tote Validation control maintenance record is activated, the system validates that you scan a tote label in this field.

If the item you are picking is lot controlled, scan the lot label.

The system displays the next item to pick.

Repeat this process until you have picked all items on the order.
Either stage the tote and close the order, or press Esc to save updates and exit the screen.

Note: You can stage your totes at any point while picking. If you stage a tote before you have completed a pick, the system prompts you with "Not Done Picking. Stage Tote". Enter Y to stage the tote. You can then continue picking the order when you are ready.

To pick multiple orders simultaneously:

From the Warehouse Management > RF Applications > RF Main Menu, select Picking to display the Pick In Process screen.

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

In the Br field, edit the branch for which you are picking, if necessary.

The system displays "No Picks Queued" on the screen if you have not already been assigned or selected an order to pick.

Use the Slct hot key to choose an order to pick, as needed.
Once you have selected the orders, press Esc to return to the Pick In Process screen.
On the Pick In Process screen, note the product information in the following fields:

Field	Description
Order	The order number.
Desc	The items to pick. Note: Use the Picks hot key to view all items in the order needing to be picked.
T	The product's status, such as S for stock.
Location	The location from where you pick the product.
Qty	The number of items that need to be put away.
Tote	The tote number displays after you scan it. Note: You can use multiple totes to pick a single order.

Note: The system displays the picks in the sequence defined in Zone Maintenance.

Physically go to the location, defined in the Location field, for the selected orders.

Scan the first item displayed on the screen.
Scan the items' location.

Your RF gun beeps in a positive tone if you have scanned the displayed product and location to pick and in a negative tone if you have scanned a product or location to pick that is not displayed. If you have scanned a product or location that is not displayed, the system prompts you to scan in the displayed product or location. You can still scan in another location, but the system prompts you to confirm the new location. The system takes product from the new location, as needed.

If the product you are picking is serial number-tracked, enter the serial number for the product on the displayed Serial Number Entry screen. If the serial numbers have already been entered, then the system displays the numbers for you.
Do one of the following to verify quantity picked:

If the prompt to verify quantity displays, enter the quantity picked.

Scan the tote in which you are placing the item.

Note: The system displays the tote that you most recently scanned for the order, as long as you have not staged that tote. You can add another tote, as needed.

If the item you are picking is lot controlled, scan the lot label.
Select the next item to pick. The system displays the next item in the pick sequence.
Repeat this process until you have picked all items on the orders.
