Receiving P/Os with ASN Documents Using RF

This functionality is under limited availability. For more information, contact you RF installer.

If your warehouse uses the Electronic Data Interface (EDI) companion product to receive purchase orders (P/Os) with 856 advance ship notices (ASN), you can receive P/Os or containers as a whole instead of product by product.

For example:

You receive a P/O with an 856 ASN from an EDI vendor. The P/O contains 20 separate products packaged in one container. Instead of breaking the container apart to receive each individual product, scan the container barcode belonging to the ASN. The system verifies each item on the P/O without your having to individually receive each item.

The Enable 856 Advanced Shipping Notice In RF Receivingcontrol maintenance record must be activated to receive purchase orders with EDI 856 ASNs.

To receive a P/O with an ASN document:

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.

Use the S hot key to display the Scan in Shipment or Container Barcode prompt.
Scan each P/O or container barcode belonging to the ASN.

The system receive verifies each item on the P/O or in the container.

Press Esc to return to the Recv Verify screen.
In the Tote field, do one of the following:

Scan the tote label for the tote in which you are placing the product.

If the RF Enable Tote Validationcontrol maintenance record is activated, the system validates that you scan a tote. If you incorrectly scan a non-tote bar code, the system prompts you to re-scan the tote label. If you manually enter a tote label, you must enter TOTE- before the actual tote number.

If you want to put away the product directly into a location without using a tote and if the RF Scan Location To Tote For Immediate Put Awaycontrol maintenance record is activated, scan the location as the tote.

If you scan a location that is not the expected put away location, the system prompts you to confirm the location. Enter Y to confirm the location. You can also use the Put Away-I hot key to immediately put away the product.

Note: You can set the Lock Warehouse Zone To Tote In RF Receive Verifycontrol maintenance record to lock a tote to a zone. If this control maintenance record is set to Y, you cannot scan items from different zones into one tote. If the control maintenance record is set to Prompt, the system alerts you that the two items belong to different zones.

Use the PutAwy hot key to put away the product, or press Esc to save updates and exit the screen.
