The RF Warehouse Management system accommodates orders received on multiple pallets by splitting the orders without your having to backorder product or create multiple generations.
In non-RF environments, when product comes to your warehouse on multiple pallets, receiving can be difficult if you need that product put away immediately. You may have to close out the product and backorder the rest, even though the remaining quantity is on the truck in a different pallet. If you do not want to create a backorder, you have to wait to receive the product when the entire order can be processed at once.
In RF when product items are on multiple pallets, you can receive the product without creating more receiving generations by splitting it. Splitting product allows you to receive verify and put away part of the product before you are done receiving the entire shipment from the truck. You can still receive verify that product on the same receiving generation when the rest of the product comes off the truck.
You can also split product between totes. If you are receiving a large product and you can fit only one item on a tote, split the product between several totes, as needed.
Note: Use the Create New Generation For RF Recv Verify Overages control maintenance record to select how you want the system to handle overage amounts when receiving items using the RF Receive Verify process.
To split product during receive verify:
From the Warehouse Management > RF Applications > RF Main Menu, select Recv Verify to display the Recv Verify screen.
Note: If prompted, log on to the character-based system.
Scan the product to split.
Use the Qty hot key to display the New Quantity in ea prompt.
Enter the quantity that you have received on the pallet.
The system displays the Split/Bckord/Tote prompt.

Press Esc to save updates and exit the screen.
