The Put To Store (PTS) Menu offers you the option of determining the first PTS zone, performing a Put To Store Pick, and closing a PTS carton.
The Put To Store Pick is intended for use in the Put To Store area of the Distribution Center (DC). The Put To Store area is a set of fixed store locations where each location is associated to a single store.
Label-less picking allows wave-associated picking without label generation. You can perform five types of picking through the No Pick Package screen: Bulk Picking, Case Picking, Unit Picking, Bulk Replenishment Picking, and Case Replenishment Picking.
During the Picking process, RWMS uses the following distribution methods to determine how to direct the picking associate.
RWMS sends the picker to the location identified as holding that item based upon the putaway timestamp.
RWMS sends the picker to the location identified as holding that item based on expiration date. This is used for merchandise with Best Before Date.
Bulk Picking is picking an entire container of a single item from a reserve location and delivering it to its next location (shipping destination, forward picking location, sorter, etc). Bulk picks can be used in both a conveyor or non-conveyor environment if the proper equipment is used.
On the Main Menu screen, select Picking. On the Picking Menu screen, select Bulk Picking. The Bulk Pick screen opens.
On the Bulk Pick screen, scan the first picking package label for master label confirmation and location direction. Data opens in the CID and Loc fields.
Confirm the pick-from location by scanning the location ID.
Confirm the pick-from inventory container ID label by scanning.
In the Required Qty field, press the Enter key to confirm the displayed container quantity. You can decrease the quantity if necessary, but you cannot increase it.
Press the F8 (Empty) key if there is no inventory in the location. If the quantity entered is less than the required, then the user message is prompted asking if the location is empty.
Press F6 (MM) if the you go to the picking location to perform the pick but could not do the pick because of a problem. For example, there is water around a freezer location.
|
Note: The error message ”Insufficient privilege to perform this operation” is displayed, if the privilege level is less than the current value of the mm_sec_level_rf. |
As products are being picked, the receipt weight and the container weight is maintained at the lowest level of labeling.
You are prompted to enter a catch weight if the item was set up to require such information.
In the Total Weight field, enter the total catch weight for the pick. That weight is then equally divided among all containers associated to the pick. If you enter a zero, the container weight is update to zero.
Press the F4 (Done) key.
If, at the completion of a pick, but prior to drop-off, RWMS detects any containers with catch weight items and a container weight of 0, you will be prompted to enter the total weight for each zero weight item. This total weight is then evenly divided between all containers with the item. The drop-off process continues after all items have been weighed. The Suggested Location screen displays the door associated with the destination ID.
|
Note: The Suggested Location screen contains a location suggested by the system for you to next move the merchandise.For outbound shipments, the suggested location is a staging location specific to the ship destination. You can override the suggested location by entering a different location at the To-Location field. For replenishment picks, the suggested location is the location that needs replenishment or a default drop-off location for alternate unit pick systems. |
In the To-Location field, scan the location where the merchandise is being dropped-on.
Press the F4 (Done) key. An Information screen pops up, verifying that the location is marked if the To-Location is marked for cycle count. The Bulk Pick screen opens with the next pick if any remain. The Message Display Line verifies that the current pick is complete.

Enter Y (Yes) to confirm that the location is not empty, and press the Enter key. The location is then marked for cycle count.
Case Picking (container picking), involves pulling one or more full containers from a bulk container in a reserve location.
Breaking the Label Packet functionality allows you to subdivide the picking package through the Container Pick screen.
During the distribution process, the system assigns master container IDs to group picks based on system parameters. For example, it can allow or prevent the mixture of destinations on an individual pallet. However, Zone and Pick Type (bulk, case, or unit pick) always divide the pick package of labels. The pick package is intended to be picked by one individual, which restricts the number of picks of the same type in the same zone at the same time. The Break Label Packet removes this restriction by allowing the pick package to be subdivided as desired.
You can break the picking package within a specific master label; however, picks for multiple masters cannot be combined. Divide a pick package using the break label package function
On the Main Menu screen, select Picking. On the Picking Menu screen, select Case Picking. The Container Pick screen opens.
