  • Return Production Pick

  • Return Assembly Pick

  • Ship Without Document

Setup

The display of individual functions on the main screen of the Mobile Terminal can be set on the Mobile main menu card.

Location setup

In addition to the Bin Mandatory, the location card has other parameters required. It does not necessarily have to be set exactly as shown here, but according to the needs and logic of the processes of the warehouse.

Set default bins.

Limitations

For items tracked by serial numbers, you have to use the default unit of measurement in the purchase order.

Receive

Receive function uses the standard Warehouse receipt document to process the reception of items.

After starting the function, the list of Warehouse Receipts appears.

An individual document can be selected manually by marking the relevant line, or by scanning or entering the supplier's delivery number or the warehouse receipt number.

After selecting a document, the document lines are displayed.

In the next step, you need to select the item number by clicking on the line or scanning the item number or barcode (cross-reference of the item). If an item in the list is scanned and appears there more than once, the rows with that item are prefiltered and the user must select which row he wants to receive.

Subsequently, as above the Purchase Order document, it is necessary to accept the goods listed on the lines.

Depending on the type of tracking, different fields are displayed. Fill the necessary data.

When you enter the quantity and confirm , the entered quantity is stored in the mobile document (and not directly in the purchase order).

If you enter only a partial amount to be received, after confirmation , the receipt window with pre-filled remaining quantity will be displayed again. This window is displayed repeatedly until the entire quantity is received. If you don't want to receive another quantity after entering a partial quantity, you can check the Last item checkbox, which will return you directly to the list of order lines. You can also return to the order lines list by pressing the button.

You can view loaded tracking and amounts by holding finger on a line and taping Show Tracking

To delete the tracking, long press the line and tap Delete line.

After defining the quantity/tracking, you can Finish the document.

The Finish button saves all entered data in the purchase order. According to Mobile Terminal Setup (field Post Receipt via MT Reader) the purchase receipt is either posted (and the document is printed), or the quantity to be received and tracking codes are only filled into the purchase order.

Return Receive

The reception process is identical to that in the chapter Receive. For tracked goods, tracking must already be entered in the return sales order, as it is necessary to select a value in the field Balanced by item in the window Item tracking lines. The warehouse worker only confirms receipt.

The put-away process is identical to that in the chapter Put-away.

Put-Away

After the goods are received at the advanced location using a warehouse receipt, it is necessary to move it to the storage bin.

After starting the function, you will see a list of Warehouse Put-aways. Select the document from a list or scan a barcode.

The lines of the document are shown. Select an individual item manually or by scanning the item barcode.

Confirm or change quantity. If a storage bin is not designated, it is possible (if permitted in Mobile terminal setup) to be added by manually selecting or scanning the bin barcode.

This is how you can proceed repeatedly for a given document and its items. Loaded / confirmed items are then sorted at the bottom of the list and are marked with the Processed flag.

Now you can Finish finish the document which registers the Put-away of selected items.

Pick

The Pick function is used to pick the items from the storage bin using a Mobile Terminal. The function works with the standard Warehouse Pick document.

After opening the function, you see a list of Warehouse Pick documents. Select or load a document item to be picked. First, according to the read bar code, it is searched whether this serial number does not exist in the document, then the Lot number, then the cross-reference, then the item number.

After selection, the individual lines of the document are displayed.

If you load a Lot number, handling unit or serial number that is not proposed in the document, then this new tracking number will replace the original tracking for the first line found. If the document does not contain any tracking, then you can enter the tracking, which are then assigned to the relevant lines of the document.

If no bin is designated, the bin can be specified - by manually selecting or by scanning the bin barcode.

Confirm or change quantity.

If no tracking is proposed or the warehouse worker changes the already designed tracking, the tracking can be changed.

This is how you can proceed repeatedly for a given document and its items. Processed items are listed at the bottom of the list and are marked with the Processed flag.

To complete the processing of the document, use the Finish button in the menu, which will register the pick of the selected items.

Ship

The function is used to process a shipment of goods.

After starting the function, a list of stock delivery documents is displayed. Select the document from a list or scan a barcode.

After selecting a document, its lines are displayed.

In a fully directed location, it is assumed that the items for delivery have already been removed from storage (using Pick).

After selecting the line, confirm the tracking numbers (lot, serial) assigned to the delivery by scanning or selecting it.

Enter the amount to ship.

Processed lines are marked with the Processed flag and are sorted at the end.

The document is completed using an action Finish.

According to the settings in Mobile terminal setup, the document is either posted (and printed) or the values are only filled into the sales order.

Ship Return Order

The process of picking from the warehouse is identical to that in the chapter Pick. For the tracked items, the tracking must be already entered in the purchase order or in the Warehouse Pick document. The warehouse worker only confirms / records the Pick.

The shipping process is identical to that in the chapter Ship.

Production Pick

Standard Pick documents are used for processing picks using a Mobile Terminal. The Pick document must therefore be created for the production order.

After starting the function, a list of Pick document for production orders for the given location is displayed.

After selecting the required production order, click the Pick document.

The lines of the given document are displayed. Individual items can be selected manually or you can scan the barcode of the item. When scanning the barcode, the system first searches whether this serial number exists in the document, then the lot, then the cross-reference, then the item number.

Specify a Lot No.

If a bin is not specified, it is necessary to enter the bin - manually or by reading the bar code of the bin.

Confirm or change quantity.

The items loaded / confirmed in this way are then sorted at the bottom of the list and are marked with the Processed flag.

Use the Finish button to complete the pick.

Lot and serial numbers suggestions for Pick documents

When creating Pick documents, you can set up automatic design of Lot or serial numbers to be picked, according to various policies:

  • FIFO - the ones that are in the warehouse the longest are designed to be picked up.

  • FEFO - those trails that have the nearest expiration date are suggested for picking from storage.

Watching is not suggested from bins which:

  • are set as an adjustment bin,

  • have the "Output" or "All" value set in the Block Move field,

  • have a Bin Type Code that is not labeled Pick.

Assembly Pick

The function is used to process the pick of assembly order components from the warehouse bins to the bin intended for the consumption of the given components (The To-Assembly Bin in the Location setup).

Standard Warehouse Pick documents are used for processing picks using the Mobile Terminal. The Warehouse Pick document must therefore be created for the assembly order.

After starting the function, a list of released assembly orders for the given location is displayed.

After selecting the assembly order, a list of Warehouse pick documents for the given assembly order is displayed.

After selecting the Pick document, the list of its items is displayed. Scan or select document lines you want to process. If the items are tracked, specify the required tracking number and then enter the quantity and bin from which the goods are to be picked from storage.

The processed lines are sorted to the end and are marked with the Processed flag.

You can confirm the pick of the components by pressing Finish, available in the menu.

Physical inventory

The function is used to perform a physical inventory using a Mobile Terminal

Steps:

1. In BC, open Warehouse Physical Inventory Journal. Use the standard function Calculate Inventory. This step calculates the inventory and fills in the physical inventory journal. This step can only be performed after step two.

2. Perform a complete inventory using a Mobile Terminal (detailed instructions below). The MT records the items in the auxiliary table available in the menu Actions -> Mobile Inventory -> Phys. Invt. Register. You can leave/interrupt the inventory process at any time and return to it later.

Inventory procedure in the reader

After starting the function, a list of already loaded items is displayed. If you run the physical inventory process for the first time, an empty list is displayed.

Steps to perform a physical inventory using a MT:

1. Select a Batch Name.

2. Select the bin in which the items will be counted.

3. After selecting a bin, you can start scanning individual items in that bin:

  • If the items are tracked, scan the serial or lot number.

  • If the items are not tracked, scan the barcode of the item representing the item number or EAN from the Cross References of the item.

4. Select the unit of measure - if more than one unit of measure is registered for the item units, choose in which unit of measure the goods were counted. It is then converted into the basic unit of measure in the inventory.

5. Enter the quantity.

  • If in Mobile terminal settings the Quick Physical Inventory field is checked, then after reading the barcode of the goods, the quantity 1 is automatically entered into the physical inventory log. Reloading the barcode will increase the quantity by one. Therefore you do not have to enter the quantity after loading the goods.

  • If the goods are monitored by both serial and lot numbers and you enter a different quantity than the one registered in BC, you will have to scan the serial numbers.

  • If you enter the same quantity as registered in the BC, you do not have to enter the serial numbers.

The loading page is shown repeatedly to allow you easily load all items on a bin. After you finish loading, press a Cross button to return to the summary page.

6. Confirm or cancel previous steps (the user is offered information about what was loaded, how much was loaded, where it was loaded).

7. The process is repeated by choosing another bin - point 2.

8. If you interrupt the the loading process, you can continue later by pressing the button available in the menu.

If you loaded the same item and the same tracking on the same bin and location more than once, the quantity is automatically added up.

You can delete the loaded item or change its loaded quantity by using a menu invoked by long pressing the line.

The reader also directly shows whether the read item corresponds with the system or whether there is a difference. The difference is identified by an exclamation mark next to the bin.

You can see the change by viewing the row detail by clicking on it.

If you load an item that is not in the Physical inventory journal, a new line is automatically created in the journal after confirming the scan.

3. Execution of Evaluate Phys. Inventory available in the menu Actions -> Mobile inventory. The function compares the system status of the warehouse and the Item Journal and evaluates the stock status.

4. Post the Physical Inventory - Standard Posting in Physical Inventory Journal.
