Chapter 13: Working with Pickers/Packers (WPPF)
Purpose: To track both picker and packer statistics for productivity analysis, the system must be able to identify which orders or batches of orders are assigned to each picker/packer. The Picker/Packer file contains the code (usually the picker or packer's initials), the name of the picker or packer, and a code that identifies the employee as a picker (I) or packer (A). This file is referenced during Pick/Pack Verification.
The Work with Pickers/Packers screen is used to create, change, delete, or display records to identify employees who pick and pack inventory to fulfill orders. This function also allows you to access system-updated statistics for each picker or packer.
