Staging and Closing Multiple-Operator Picks in RF

You must take additional steps in RF picking when you stage an order that covers multiple zones and has multiple pick groups working on it. The system creates an entry in the order maintenance log any time the tote staging locations change.

For example, a customer places an order requiring product from three different zones in your warehouse. Three different pick groups work on this order. When you have completed your segment of the order, stage your tote and do one of the following:

If you are the last operator to stage the tote, the RF picking alerts you to close the order.
If other operators are still picking their segments of the order, the system does not let you close the order. Stage your segment of the order.

To stage and close an order with multiple pick groups:

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.

Use the Stage hot key to display the Staging Select screen.

The orders you picked display on this screen, as well as any orders that have been staged but not closed.

Place the cursor on the order you want to stage, and press Enter to display the Order Staging screen.

One of the following statuses displays at the top of the Order Staging screen for the order:

Status	Action Required
CONSOLIDATING	Indicates that the order is still being picked. Do not close the order because other items still need to be picked. Stage the tote that you have picked and press Esc to save updates and exit the screen. Move on to other orders that need to be picked.
CONFIGURABLE	Indicates the order has been completely picked and is ready to be staged. Stage your tote. Allow other users to stage their totes. Either close the order, or allow another user to close the order. Note: DO NOT close orders that you want to load using non-manifest system-directed loading. If needed, set the system to stop users from closing orders after staging.
STAGED	Indicates that the order has been completely picked and is ready to be closed. Stage your tote. Use the Close hot key to close the order, if authorized, and exit the screen. Note: DO NOT close orders that you want to load using non-manifest system-directed loading. If needed, set the system to stop users from closing orders after staging.

Note: Other statuses can display based on the settings in the RF Order Status After All Items Are Pickedand RF Order Status After All Items Are Stagedcontrol maintenance records.
