Putaway Using Radio Frequency 

Use

You can execute putaways using a radio frequency presentation device (RF presentation device).

Prerequisites

You have logged on in the RF environment.

The destination storage bins of the warehouse orders to be processed are always in the same activity area.

Features

Putaway According to Handling Unit (HU)

You enter a handling unit number (HU number) and the system searches for the corresponding warehouse order or warehouse orders.

Putaway According to HU (Collective)

You enter more than one HU number and the system searches for the corresponding warehouse orders.

Putaway According to Warehouse Order

You enter a warehouse order number and the system displays the warehouse tasks assigned to the warehouse order that are to be executed.

Activities

Putaway According to Handling Unit (HU)

       1.      You enter a HU number. EWM thus includes the HU in the resource.

       2.      The system searches for the corresponding warehouse orders.

       3.      The system displays the following:

○       If the system finds a WT for the entire HU, the system displays the source data (HU number, destination storage bin).

○       If the system finds WTs for the products in the HU, then you are dealing with a distributive putaway. The system displays the first WT it has found according to the sort sequence of the destination storage bins. The system displays the following data:

■       Source HU

■       Product

■       Quantity

■       Batch

■       Destination HU

■       Destination storage bin

If a warehouse order has more than one WT, you can do the following:

○       You can skip a WT.

○       You can reverse the sequence in which the system displays the WTs.

○       You can place the displayed WT at the end of the execution.

       4.      You confirm the data of the HU WT or of the first product WT.

       5.      If a warehouse order has more than one product WT, the system displays the data of the next product WT and the action repeats itself.

Putaway According to Handling Unit (Collective)

...

       1.      You enter all desired HU numbers.

       2.      You decide whether you want to putaway further in a guided manner or according to product number or warehouse task.

       3.      The system searches for the corresponding warehouse task.

       4.      The further steps correspond to steps three to five for putaway according to handling unit.

Putaway According to Warehouse Order

...

       1.      You enter a warehouse order number.

       2.      The system searches for the corresponding warehouse tasks.

       3.      The system displays the source data (product, quantity, batch, and source storage bin) of the first product WT that belongs to the warehouse order, or the source data (HU and source storage bin) of the first HU WT that belongs to the warehouse order.

If a warehouse order has more than one WT, you can do the following:

○       You can skip a WT.

○       You can reverse the sequence in which the system displays the WTs.

○       You can place the displayed WT at the end of the execution.

       4.      You confirm the source data of the first product WT or the source data of the first HU WT.

       5.      The system displays the destination data of the product WT (product, quantity, batch, and destination storage bin), or the destination data of the HU WT (HU and destination storage bin).

       6.      You confirm the destination data of the first WT.

       7.      If a warehouse order has more than one WT, the system displays the source data of the next WT (product WT or HU WT), and the action repeats itself.

Exceptions to Putaway Using RF

HU WT Confirmation

You can specify an exception for this process and then:

●      Change the destination storage bin

●      In general, skip the HU WT that is currently to be processed

For example, if the aisle is blocked, you cannot get to the source storage bin or destination storage bin. During the putaway process, then, the system no longer shows you this HU WT and you do not need to confirm the source data and destination data.

Product WT Confirmation

You can specify an exception for this process and then:

●      Change the destination storage bin

●      Record differences

For example, if a piece of the product quantity is damaged, you can enter a smaller product quantity rather than confirm the quantity.

●      Change the batch

●      In general, skip the product WT that is currently to be processed

For example, if the aisle is blocked, you cannot get to the source storage bin or destination storage bin. During the putaway process, then, the system no longer shows you this HU WT and you do not need to confirm the source data and destination data.
