Pick and Pack

Use

Using an RF device, you can pick and pack material in one step. This is useful in a handling unit-managed environment, where partially picking from one or more handling units (HUs) necessitates the specification of the HU into which these materials are packed (destination HU).

The destination HU can be assigned to a transfer order (TO) in one of the following three ways:

  1. The HU number is assigned at TO creation. After choosing the pick and pack option using an RF device, you enter the number of the existing HU.

  2. After choosing the pick and pack option using an RF device,you take a label and scan it. At this point, the HU number is assigned to the TO.

  3. Using a small printer connected to an RF device, you choose the pick and pack option. You print a label and affix it to the destination HU. You then scan the label and the HU number is assigned to the TO.

You can either select a pick and pack transaction based on system-guided picking (for TOs with reference to a delivery), or by identifying a delivery number.
