Picking Inventory: Picking Requested Serial Numbers

About this task

You can pick items for shipments that have requested serials in the shipment lines.

Procedure

  1. In Serial Number, enter or scan the suggested serial number or identifier of the LPN.
    Note: You can also scan a 1D or 2D barcode.
    Note: If an LPN contains only a single serial-tracked item, scan the identifier of the LPN. The system automatically captures the other details of the item.
  2. 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 the pick.
    • Choose "NO" if the location is not empty after the pick. The system triggers an event that creates a count request.

      The system suggests the next serial number to pick, if available.

      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 performed is configured to "pick to equipment" and the equipment that the user specifies is modeled as a location.

      If picking is not performed using an equipment, the inventory move from the pick location is not recorded. Therefore, the fill code of the location is "not empty" and the Confirmation window does not display.

  3. 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 into an inventory case, if available. For more information about picking a SKU to an inventory case, see Picking Inventory: Picking Products into a Case.
  4. 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 into pallet, if available. For more information about picking pallets, see Picking Inventory: Picking Products into a Pallet.
  5. Choose Deposit in the GUI mobile terminal to deposit all pallets or cases. If using the CUI mobile terminal, press F8.
  6. 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 ****.
