Picking Inventory: Picking Non-License Plated Products by Applying License Plates

About this task

The mobile terminal also lets you pick non-license plated products by applying pre-printed license plated labels on containers and picking into them.

Procedure

  1. In SKU, enter or scan the pre-printed license plate label. The system automatically displays the quantity to pick into the container.
    Note: You can also scan a 1D or 2D barcode in the SKU field. If a 1D or 2D barcode is captured in the SKU field, the information present as a part of the barcode is not captured again and the relevant screens does not appear.
  2. If the SKU quantity to be picked is different from the system-suggested SKU pick task quantity:
    • In Alternate UOM, enter or scan the SKU quantity, if applicable.
    • In Inventory UOM, enter or scan the SKU quantity. For example, the basic UOM for a monitor is EACH, ROLL for metal sheets, Cubic Metres for a metal block.
  3. Choose Go in the GUI mobile terminal. if using the CUI mobile terminal, press F3.

    If the system detects that the location is empty after picking, a confirmation dialog box displays.

    • Choose "YES" if the location is empty after pick.
    • Choose "NO" if the location is not empty after pick. The system triggers an event that creates a count request.

      The system suggests the next pick task, if available. Select the task and verify the location. For more information about verifying the location, see Picking Inventory: Verifying the Source Location.

      Note: The Confirmation window appears only when:
      • The zone from where inventory is picked is configured to "Confirm Location Empty After Pick".
      • The task type being completed is configured to "pick to equipment" and the equipment that the user specifies is modeled as a location.

      If picking is not done using an equipment, the inventory move from the pick location is not recorded. Hence, the location's fill code is "not empty" and the Confirmation window does not appear.

      Note: When the picked quantity is less than the quantity scanned from the barcode, an event "QTY_TRANSLATION_OVERRIDE" associated with the "BARCODE_SCAN" transaction is raised.

      The XML published by the "QTY_TRANSLATION_OVERRIDE" event is:

      <BarCode BarCodeData="" BarCodeType="" BarCodeTranslationSource="" TranslatedQuantity="" QuantityUsed="" EquipmentId="" LocationId="" />.

  4. Choose Close Case in the GUI mobile terminal to close an open case. if using the CUI mobile terminal, press F7. The system suggests to pick SKUs to an inventory case, if available. For more information about picking a SKU to an inventory case, seePicking Inventory: Picking Products into a Case.
  5. Choose Close Plt in the GUI mobile terminal to close an open pallet. if using the CUI mobile terminal, press F6. The system suggests to pick to pallet, if available. For more information about picking pallets, see Picking Inventory: Picking Products into a Pallet.
  6. Choose Deposit in the GUI mobile terminal to deposit all pallets or cases. if using the CUI mobile terminal, press F8.
  7. Choose Exception in the GUI mobile terminal to record pick exceptions. if using the CUI mobile terminal, press F4. For more information about recording pick exceptions, see **** MISSING FILE ****.
