The RF Inventory Management module allows you to perform processes outside the normal picking and shipping processes. This includes activities such as: build containers (pallets), check the contents of a container or pallet, perform cycle counts, mark locations for cycle counts, move containers from receiving to shipping or internal picking locations, put away container/pallets to storage, confirm returns shipment, return containers to stock, store reassignment of outbound containers, and manage forward pick locations, and so forth.
From the Main Menu select Inventory Management. The Inventory Management main menu opens.
To view additional options available, select More Options from the Inventory Management main menu.
The Build Container (pallet) function allows you to build pallets of containers with same item and destination. You can exit the Build Container process at any time by pressing the F3 (Exit) key and return later to add more valid containers to the existing pallet.
The build container function also allows the contents of one pallet to be combined with the contents of another pallet for the purpose of consolidating pallets in the shipping area.
The following constraints apply to this functionality:
Both pallets must either be bulk or have no child labels; or both pallets must have cartons with child labels. It is not possible to mix a pallet with child labels with another pallet that has no child labels.
Both pallets must be distributed (this functionality applies only to outbound merchandise).
If the same item exists on both pallets, it must be the same case pack size. In addition, perishable items must have the same best before dates.
Both pallet must be destined for the same destination (for example, same store or same distribution center) and be routed on the same carrier/service/route.
All restrictions for Building Containers in receiving also apply to Building Containers in shipping.
|
Note: Once containers are added to a generic container ID (pallet), any movement through the system of that container will move all associated child containers. |
On the Main Menu screen, select Inventory Management. On the Inventory Management Menu screen, select Build Container. The Build Container screen opens.
In the Generic Cont ID field, scan or enter the ID of the generic container.
|
Note: If you scan any children from an existing pallet, the ID of the master pallet is displayed. |
In the Location ID field, scan or enter your current location.
|
Note: The location is displayed automatically if the container already exists. |
In the Container ID field, scan or enter the container ID being added to the generic container. This container must be valid on the system. An Information screen pops up, verifying the successful operation.
Most RF guns have an implied Enter after the container ID is scanned.
To continue adding containers to this pallet, repeat this step.
[Optional] Press the F4 (Done) key.
|
Note: If the F4 (Done) key is pressed when there is no container ID added, an error message is displayed. The F4 (Done) key must be used if there is no implied Enter occurring in the process of scanning a container ID being built. |
Press the F3 (Exit) key to exit the screen.
The Container Inquiry screen allows you to scan containers throughout the DC to view container details such as current location, current inventory status, final destination, container quantity, and user who created the container. The Items function key shows you the item ID, inner pack and casepack of the container. The Ship and Recv function keys display shipping and receiving information for the queried container.
On the Main Menu screen, select Inventory Management. On the Inventory Management Menu screen, select Cont Inquiry. The Cont Inquiry screen opens.
On the Cont Inquiry screen, enter the ID of the container to be investigated in the Container ID field. Press the Enter key to display the details.
Cycle counting is the process of counting the physical inventory in reserve (storage), Forward Case Picking (FCP), or Less Than Case (LTC) locations and comparing it to the system count. The frequency for counting an item is determined by the cycle count plan defined in the item master or value set in the cycle_count_period SCP parameter is taken as default. RWMS randomly selects locations for counting daily based on the number of uncounted locations and the number of days remaining in the cycle count period. Normal operations at the distribution center are not affected by the system-selected, cycle counting process.
RWMS supports four types of cycle counts:
System Selected based on random selection algorithm.
System Selected based on user selection.
Manual Marked which is marked manually when there is an inventory problem.
Audit Count which is system generated when SS or MM count is outside the defined tolerance levels.
Cycle counting can be interleaved with the putaway functionality to optimize productivity.
While cycle counting a location that includes a container that has not been picked and the Pick Not After Date has passed, you may see a message in a pop-up screen that states "Cycle count to 0." This occurs when the status of the container is set to Expired (X).
Manual marking renders all items in the marked location as unavailable.
When you select cycle counting from the menu, the system first checks for the security level associated with you. If you have sufficient privileges, RWMS allows you to perform the cycle count process.
Upon starting cycle counting you need to choose whether you want to Cycle Count by Priority or by Cycle Count (CC) sequence.
Cycle Counting by Priority means that the highest Priority locations are presented first for counting. Priority is determined by the Cycle Count Status and Audit Count Required indicators. The Cycle Count Status must be MM or SS and the Audit Count Required must be Yes (Y) or No (N) for a location to be included during a cycle count. The priorities are as follows:
Location with Cycle Count Status = MM and Audit Count Required = Y are given the highest priority. Hence locations with this combination are presented for counting first. You must count all locations with Cycle Count Status = MM and Audit Count Required = Y combination.
Locations with Cycle Count Status = MM and Audit Count Required = N are the second or next priority. These locations are presented for counting after locations with Cycle Count Status = MM and Audit Count Required = Y are counted. You must count all locations with Cycle Count Status = MM and Audit Count Required = N combination.
Locations with Cycle Count Status = SS are given the third or last priority. These locations are presented after locations with Cycle Count Status = MM and Audit Count Required = N are counted. You may skip a location or locations to count wherein you are taken back to the beginning of the Cycle Count Status = Y locations.
Cycle Counting by Cycle Count (CC) sequence means that locations with the lowest Location Cycle Count sequence number are presented for counting in sequence order. The locations are presented in Location Cycle Count sequence regardless of the Cycle Count Status.
|
Note: The locations presented for cycle counting depend on the privileges assigned to you. You may not have privileges to count any/all of the location Cycle Count Status combinations above. |

The Transport Containers screen move containers to their next destination as defined by the system. When a container/pallet is scanned the system determines if the container is supposed to be moved to shipping (crossdock), internal destinations (flowthrough), WIP processing, or reserve storage and directs you to the correct location. When using the transport screen you must consider the following system parameters, attributes, and conditions for clarity in your operation :
Override (System Control Parameter) and Override (User Attribute)
When the SCP Override is set to N and/or the user attribute Override is not applied, the Transport screen directs you to a specific storage location or hot replenishment location. It allows you to drop the pallet at a staging location but prevents the scanning of another storage location. When the pallet is scanned again in staging, the transport screen directs you to a specific location but not allow a different storage location to be selected.
When the SCP Override is set to Y and the user attribute Override is applied the Transport screen direct you to a specific storage location or hot replenishment location. It allows you to the pallet at a staging location or a different storage location. When the pallet is scanned again in staging, the transport screen directs them to a specific location but allow a different storage location to be selected if desired.
WIP Code
When you scan a container with only a WIP code, the transport screen displays the following message: CID has WIP, do you want to move to process area? Y or N.
If you select Y, the system displays the move screen and provide the location for WIP processing. If you override the location with a reserve location or staging location, then you must use WIP picking to get the container to the WIP processing area.
If you select N, the system directs you to a storage location or allow confirmation of a staging location. WIP picking must then be used to get the container to the WIP processing area.
Trouble Code
The transport screen first checks if the SCP parameter allow_trouble_putaway is set to Y or N. If it is set to Y then the transport screen displays the following message: CID has trouble. Do you want to Putaway? Y or N.
If you select Y, the system directs you to a valid storage location or allow drop-off at a valid staging location. You must also consider the Override SCP parameter and attribute to determine if you can override the suggested storage location.
If you select N, the transport screen displays the move screen and only allow valid staging locations to be scanned.
WIP and Trouble Codes
When you scan a container with a WIP Code and Trouble Code, the transport screen displays the following message: CID has WIP. Do you want to move to process area? Y or N.
If you select Y, the system displays the move screen and provide the location for WIP processing. You must confirm the processing location or a staging location but you are not allowed to confirm a storage location when Trouble Putaway parameter is set to N. If Trouble Putaway parameter is set to Y then you can confirm a storage location.
If you select N, the system displays the move screen and only allow a staging location to be scanned.
On the Main Menu screen, select Inventory Management. On the Inventory Management Menu screen, select Transport Containers. The Transport Containers screen opens.
Scan the container ID in the Container ID field.
If the scanned ID is a grandfather pallet ID and the receipt confirmation is already done, the system asks if you want to breakdown the pallets. If you select Yes, the FPR Pallet Breakdown screen opens. Refer to the Pallet Breakdown (Generic) section for more information.
If you select No, the system asks if you want to move the pallet. If Yes, depending on the final location of the container the Move screen or the Putaway screen opens.
Refer to the Move and Putaway sections for more information.
The Move function allows you to move merchandise between locations, view the contents of a container, and mark a location for cycle counts.
If you move a child container without moving the master/parent container, the child container is no longer associated with the master/parent container. The system updates the location and status of the child container when it is removed from the master/parent container. A labeled child container cannot be removed from a master container if, as a result of such an action, the unit quantity would be less than the distributed quantity.
On the Move screen, enter the ID of the container to be moved in the Container ID field. The first item ID and a suggested to-location are displayed.
In the To Location field, edit the suggested to-location as necessary.
If the scanned container ID is a master with sub-pallets the system informs you that sub-pallets exist and ask if you wish to continue. If you select Yes, the system only allows entry of a staging location since the sub-pallets still exist.
If you select No, the system takes you back to the Transport Container screen to scan a sub-pallet. The system alerts you that this is a child container and asks if you wish to continue. If you select Yes, the system directs you to the final destination of the container.
The Move screen is called from the Transport screen when a scanned container has a final destination other than reserve storage. The move screen directs the containers to shipping or flowthrough locations when containers are allocated upon receipt and also allows you to move merchandise from one storage location to another storage location.
If the container ID scanned is a master container with sub-pallets the system only allows you to move the master to a staging location. You must then scan each sub-pallet so the system can direct these container IDs to their final destination.
