Using System-Directed Loading with RF Non-Manifest Picking

If you want the system to direct users in loading orders onto trucks, use the Load Truck functionality in the RF Warehouse Management system.

To use the Load Truck functionality with non-manifest picking, you must manually build manifests either from routing tickets or from orders displayed in the Warehouse In Process Status Queue. After the manifests are built, you can use the Load Truck functionality to direct loading.

Also, users cannot close out orders for which you want to use the Load Truck functionality. They must stage the totes holding the orders but not close them. Set the system to stop users from closing orders after staging.

To set the system to stop users from closing orders after staging:

1. From the Maintenance > Branch menu, select Branch to display the Branch Maintenance window.

2. In the Branch field, enter the branch ID in which you want to use Manifest Staging.

3. From the Maintenance menu, select Ship Via Branch Overrides to display the Ship Via Branch Overrides window.

Note: If needed, add the ship via to the branch.

4. From the Additional menu, select Branch Ship Via Additional Data to display the Branch Ship Via Additional Data window.

5. In the Prevent Close During Staging field, select the check box to prevent users from closing orders after they are staged.

Note: If a user is assigned the RF.LOAD.OVRD authorization key, they can override this setting and close orders after they are staged.

6. Save the updates and exit the window.

To perform non-manifest picking for system-directed loading:

1. If you want to build a manifest using routing tickets, set routing tickets to print for all orders assigned to ship vias within your branch that you want the system to direct users to load.

Note: You do not have to print routing tickets to manually build a manifest. You can also find the orders to add to the manifest in the Warehouse In Process Status Queue, and then manually build the manifest using the correct order numbers.

2. Pick the orders you want to be loaded onto a delivery vehicle.

3. Stage the orders you want to be loaded onto a delivery vehicle.

Note: Do not close the order.

4. Manually build a manifest with the orders you want to be loaded onto a delivery vehicle.

5. Lock and release the manifest.
