Prompt for Lots and Inventory Attributes During RF Repack
During repack operations, items can be picked for multiple orders and moved to a packing station to perform repacking. Since the items are batch and attribute controlled, to avoid inventory mismatch or recall of inventories back to warehouse, you can validate batch and attribute for the RF Repack OBLPN (rf.outbound.cwrfrepackoblpn) transaction. This assures the repacking of an order with the required batch/attribute for an OBLPN.
RF Repack OBLPN screen parameter “prompt-batch-expiry-attr” controls the batch and attribute prompts in the RF Repack OBLPN transaction. If same SKUs are present with different batch/attribute combinations in the source OBLPN, you can scan and select specific batch or attribute tracking inventories.
Based on the “prompt-batch-expiry-attr” parameter configuration, after scanning a SKU and hitting either Tab or Enter, the system prompts for batch or inventory attributes.
The following examples explain the batch and inventory attribute prompts behavior.
Example 1:
If the screen parameter “prompt-batch-expiry-attr” = “always prompt” and the item has inventory attributes.
| OBLPN Inventory Details | Behavior | ||
|---|---|---|---|
| Item | Attribute-A | Attribute-B | The system prompts for Attribute-A and Attribute-B. |
| SKU-A | ABC | 123 | |
Example 2:
If the screen parameter “prompt-batch-expiry-attr” = “always prompt” and the item has batch and inventory attributes.
| OBLPN Inventory Details | Behavior | |||
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Item | Batch Number | Attribute-A | Attribute-B | The system prompts for Batch Number, Attribute-A, and Attribute-B. |
| SKU-B | BATCH-01 | ABC | 123 | |
Example 3:
If the screen parameter “prompt-batch-expiry-attr” = “prompt for conflicting values” and the item has multiple details with batch and inventory attributes.
| OBLPN Inventory Details | Behavior | ||||
|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| Item | Batch Number | Expiry | Attribute-A | Attribute-B |
The system prompts only for Batch Number. As batch number is different and inventory will be picked based on the selected batch detail. If the batch number is same, then the system prompts for attributes. |
| SKU-C | BATCH02 | 06/06/2024 | ABC | DEF | |
| SKU-C | BATCH03 | 07/06/2024 | 456 | 123 | |
During the RF Repack OBLPN transaction:
- If you scan an inventory attribute or batch that is not available in the source
OBLPN, the system displays the following error messages.
- Inventory not present for Attribute %X%: %Attribute%
- Inventory not present for Batch Nbr: %Attribute%
- If you scan batches or inventory attributes more than the picked quantity, the system throws an error “Only %qty% units available for packing”.
