Picking

There are a number of ways to pick an order.

You can establish rules around which items can be picked / packed with others for your system. Contact the Thomax Service Desk for details.

Some warehouses have regulations to prevent staff from packing certain items together. Enabling the setting Packing.AfterIncrementCheckReport allows them to enforce this. The setting can be enabled for carton packing and picking to logistic units. A check is made on a carton after the item(s) is packed to establish if this packing should be allowed. This setting points to a report that requires a LogisticUnitID.

After each pack, this report is executed:

• If this report returns any rows, it produces the first column as an error.

• If the pack that occurred is allowed, the query returns no rows.

ENG 7789 It is possible configure picking to block or require supervisor approval for when an item is not picked from the recommended bin. The Picking.ULD.ValidationMethod and Picking.ULD.JobType.ValidationMethod settings can be used to either force a pick from the recommended location or require supervisor approval.

The following process is for a single order which includes a few items.

1. Log in to .wms on your RF scanner.

   

2. Tap PACKING on the main menu screen.

   

   The Picking screen displays.

   

3. Check that the packer ID and printer ID at the top of the screen are correct.

4. Start the picking task.

   There are a number of ways this can be done.

   • Scan the barcode on the order's picking slip to go directly to the picking job.

     

   • Tap NEW TASK on the Picking screen.

     

     Select the order or wave type from the drop-down list. Then scroll and select a task from the list.

     

     Tap CONTINUE.

   • Manually enter the Task Number or the order's picking slip number.

     Select the Tenant. 

     Tap the down arrow at the end of the Tenant field then scroll to the appropriate tenant. Tap the selected tenant.

     Tap BEGIN TASK.

   The Scan Barcode screen displays the location of the items for the order, the bin locations and the required quantity.

   The middle Picked section of the screen displays the items that have been picked and the bottom To Pick section of the Scan Barcode screen displays the items that are yet to be picked to fulfill the order.

   Tap the listed product item to display its details. Tap Close when you have finished.

5. Pick and scan each item on the order and its bin location.

   As each item is scanned a successful chime sounds and the item is displayed in the middle Picked section of the Scan Barcode screen.

   If any errors occur, you must fix them before you can move on.

   An All Items Picked message displays in the bottom To Pick section of the screen when all items on the order have been picked.

   If your system has configured bin check digits, you will need to enter the location check digit as you pick each item to validate that the picking is from the correct location. ENG 10574 10577 10578 This is only appropriate for inline pick methods and for non-inline picking if Picking.PickingBinSource is Internally Managed Dynamic Bins and Picking.AssumeID is off and no AssumeULD attributes are set on pack job or wave. Also set the Picking.ULD.BinCheckDigitConfirmation system parameter to yes.

6. When all items have been picked, tap COMPLETE JOB at the bottom of the screen.

7. Go to packing.
