Using the Tote In Process Queue

Use the Tote In Process Queue to view:

Users to whom totes are assigned
Totes being used to pick or put away product
Number of items on totes
Status of totes
Staging location for totes

Use this window to track item and order status based on tote location. You can also access the Tote In-Process Detail window to view further details about a tote's in-process status.

For example, if you try to close an order and the system alerts you that one tote has yet to be staged, look at the Tote In Process Queue to find out who is using the tote that needs to be staged. You can then go to that person and find out why they are being held up, or you can access the Tote In-Process Detail window to view more detail about that tote's in-process status.

To track items on a tote during the receiving or picking process:

From the Warehouse Management > Warehouse Queues menu, select Tote In Process Queue to display the Tote In Process Queue window.
In the Branch Field, enter All or the branch in which you want to view tote information.
In the Operation field, select one of the following to view:

Both - Both receiving and picking orders, as well as totes being used for replenishment.
Receiving - Receiving orders only.
