Retrieval or Replenishment: Picking Non-License Plated Products, License Plated Pallets and License Plated Cases

About this task

Once you scan the SKU, you can enter quantity for a pick task in terms of the standard alternate UOM quantities. On entering the quantity breakup, the system automatically displays the total SKU quantity that you picked.

A task may be associated with a suggested LPN, if:

To pick inventory from the source location:

Procedure

  1. In SKU, enter or scan the SKU, pallet LPN or case LPN. The total SKU quantity picked displays.
  2. If there are multiple tasks created with different quantities for same item, then while moving the full quantity of SKU from source location to target location, the system will consolidate the tasks and display the consolidated quantity on the screen.
  3. If you scan an LPN, and the SKU quantity in that LPN is greater than 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.
  4. If the task has a suggested LPN, and if you scan loose SKU or an LPN of a different quantity, the Info window displays.
    • Choose YES to override the suggested LPN.
    • Choose NO to scan another LPN. You are returned to the SKU Quantity Entry window.

      When you scan a barcode that translates to SKU quantity greater than the demand or task quantity, the Info window appears based on barcode translation source and TaskType of the task. Choose OK. You are returned to the SKU Quantity Entry window. Table 3 details the barcode translation source rules.

  5. 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, the Confirmation window appears. Choose Yes if the location is empty after pick. Choose No if the location is not empty after pick.

    Note: The Confirmation window appears only when:
    • The Zone being 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.

    Choosing No in the Confirmation window triggers an event that creates a count request.

    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="" />.

    • If you scan a pallet or case LPN, the system suggests the next retrieval task, if available. Select the task and verify the location. For more information about verifying the retrieval location, see Retrieval or Replenishment: Verifying the Source Location.
    • If you scan a SKU,
    • If the SKU is tag tracked, capture the tag details. For more information about capturing the tag number, see Retrieval or Replenishment: Capturing the Tag Number.
    • If the SKU is time sensitive, capture the expiration date. For more information about capturing the expiration date, see Retrieval or Replenishment: Capturing the Expiration Date.
    • If the SKU is serial tracked or requires outbound serial tracking, capture the serial number. For more information about capturing the serial number, see Retrieval or Replenishment: Capturing the Serial Number.
      Note: If the item scanned has inventory information such as tag number, serial number, expiration date, quantity from the barcode translation, you are not prompted to capture the inventory information. For example: If a tag tracked item with lot number "L" has tag information from the barcode translation that the item belongs to lot "L", the Tag Entry window is not displayed.
  6. 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, see Retrieval or Replenishment: Picking Products into a Case.
  7. 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 Retrieval or Replenishment: Picking Products into a Pallet.
  8. Choose Deposit in the GUI mobile terminal to deposit all pallets, cases or SKUs. If using the CUI mobile terminal, press F8.
  9. 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 ****.

    Fields
    SKU Enter or scan a SKU, pallet, or case.

    If you implement the YCMGetDisplayItemAttributesUE user exit, the user defined item identifier of the item to retrieve displays. Otherwise, the item identifier of the item to retrieve displays.

    For more information on the user exit, refer to the Sterling Selling and Fulfillment Foundation: Javadocs.

    Operational UOM An operational UOM corresponding to the item is displayed.

    The quantity corresponding to the operation UOM is populated.

    The operational UOM is not visible if the task quantity is less than the alternate UOM's conversion quantity or when the alternate UOM is not specified for the SKU.

    Inventory UOM The inventory UOM for the item is displayed.

    The quantity corresponding to the inventory UOM is populated.
