General Task Type Configuration (Optional)

The following configuration is not required for operations, but offers additional functionality. See summary below.

Replenishment Task types represent the types or methods of picking/replenishment type. (i.e. Full LPN Replenishment, Cases/Packs/Units Replenishment.) Task Types specified in the task template will create tasks for picking/replenishment.

Task types are listed/defined in the UI Module 'Task Types'. Task types are composed of a series of RF Modules, each specifying an operation for picking/replenishment. The Full LPN Replenishment Task Type includes the following RF Modules:

  1. Move LPN (Operation: Pick allocated LPNs to a pallet before replenishment)
  2. RF Replenish Full LPN (Operation: Replenish picked LPNs to appropriate picking locations).

Each module in a task type can be configured for additional functionality like validations (batch, exipiry or none) during picking, drop zone after picking, etc... The module configured can then be replaced on the specific task type. Multiple Task Type Records can be created for the same task type to be configured as needed and added to Task Templates.

For example, there can be two (2) task types for Full LPN Replenishment with different RF Modules Configuration.

Task Description WMS Module Overview/Comments Task Details
Access Task Types & Look Up RF Modules Task Types The 'Task Type' UI Module will display all task types used in WMS. The task type details will display all RF Modules used withing a task type.
  1. In the 'Task Type' UI Screen select the specific task type that needs to configured
  2. Copy the task type to create a new task type for configuration - Rename the task type to be easily distinguished
  3. Once the new task type is created, access the task type details
  4. The details will list all RF Modules. Mark the RF Modules to look up to change their configuration
Access RF Modules for Configuration Screen Configuration RF Modules will have to be added in Screen Configuration to access the details for configuration. For more details on the functionality of RF Parameters, refer to the RF Parameters Configuration Document.
  1. In the 'Screen Configuration' UI Module, click on the 'Generate Screens' button to display all RF Modules
  2. Look for the RF Modules linked to the specific task type being configured. Select all RF Modules needed and click on 'Save' to add the RF Modules.
  3. Select the specific RF Module added and edit the record to rename the Module to be easily distinguished for configuration (ex: Add initials)
  4. Access the Details for RF Parameters configuration
  5. Edit each parameter to set up the value needed
Configure Task Types with RF Modules Task Types RF Modules configured for required functionality can be linked to the task types that will be used in the task template. These task types will then be used to create tasks with the required configuration.
  1. Go back to the 'Task Type' UI Module and access the details of the task type being configured
  2. Select the RF Module that needs to be changed and click on edit to select the new configured RF Module
  3. In the drop down select the new RF Module created and renamed. (The RF Module will show up with the new name that was given in previous step)
  4. Click save when done and repeat for the other RF modules if needed
Configure Task Types in Task Template Task Creation Template Task Types configured with new RF Modules will have to be linked to appropriate Task Template. Task template used will create tasks based on the task types specified on the template.
  1. In the 'Task Creation Template' UI Module, select the specific Task Template and add/replace task types correspondingly.
    Note: Task Types will show up as renamed in the previous step.
