Task and Trip Assignment and Move Documents

After you have created suggestions for putaway, picking, or replenishment, you can create task and trip assignments (if you have not done so when creating suggestions) and customized move documents to help the warehouse personnel move inventory efficiently through the warehouse.

The system can assign task and trip numbers to suggestions when you create and process suggestions. A task is a group of suggestions, and a trip is each suggestion in the task.

When you run the Task and Trip Creation program (R46471), it is important to activate data sequencing so that you can verify the information that the system uses to assign task and trip numbers. Data sequencing is also useful for determining how to separate the tasks for the selected suggestion.

The Task and Trip Creation program interacts with these programs:

• Move Slips (R46472)

• Move Tags (R47463)

When you run the Task and Trip Creation program, you can specify this information:

• Maximum quantity information, such as the maximum number of tasks and trips (by leaving the default value of blank or zero, you can specify an unlimited number of tasks and trips).

• Whether you want the system to print the supporting documents (R46472) with the task and trip assignments.

• Whether you want the system to recommend cartons during picking.

• Whether the system generates the F4620, which contains detailed information about the contents of each carton.

• Which version of the Carton Reorganization program the system uses.

After you run the Task and Trip Creation program, you can print a summary document to review task and trip assignments.
