Retrieval or Replenishment: Depositing License Plated Pallets

About this task

The Sterling WMS Mobile Application lets you deposit pallets into the system-suggested location. You can override the system-suggested location and scan location to deposit the cases. A warning message appears. If the system does not suggest any deposit location, scan the location into which you want to deposit the pallets.

To deposit pallets that you picked:

Procedure

  1. In Pallet ID, enter or scan the pallet LPN, if you want to deposit a different pallet from the system-suggested pallet.
  2. In Location, enter or scan the deposit location for depositing the pallet.
  3. Choose Go in the GUI mobile terminal to deposit the pallets. If using the CUI mobile terminal, press F3. On depositing all pallets, the system suggests next retrieval task, if available.
  4. Choose Deposit All in the GUI mobile terminal to deposit all pallets that you picked into the system-suggested location. If using the CUI mobile terminal, press F6.
  5. Choose Exception in the GUI mobile terminal to record deposit exceptions. If using the CUI mobile terminal, press F4. For more information about recording deposit exceptions, see Retrieval or Replenishment: Recording Deposit Exceptions.
  6. Choose Drop Offs in the GUI mobile terminal view a list of system-suggested drop off locations. If using the CUI mobile terminal, press F7. For more information about viewing a list of drop-off locations, see **** MISSING FILE ****.
    Note: The system creates a second step move task only when at least one of the following two conditions are met:
    • When the suggested and the actual deposit locations have different location types.
    • When both the system-suggested deposit location and the actual deposit location are of type "STAGING", and the zone of the actual deposit location is different from the zone of the system-suggested deposit location.
