Warehouse Order Selection 

Purpose

When a resource chooses a system-guided RF transaction, the system finds for the resource the most appropriate warehouse order (WO).

 

Process

...

       1.      A resource requests work via a system-guided RF transaction.

The system checks for available WOs that are manually assigned to the resource by the warehouse manager. For more information about manual assignment, see Assignment of Warehouse Order to Resource.

If the resource chose a System-Guided by Queue option, the WOs must also belong to the selected queue.

                            a.      If a WO belongs to a queue, the queue’s operating environment must be consistent with that of the resource.

                            b.      If more than one WO is assigned to the resource, the list of possible WOs for selection is sorted in the following order:

                                                  i.       WOs belonging to the resource’s assigned queue

WOs belonging to the resource group’s assigned queues, according to the defined queue sequence.

                                                ii.       WOs that do not belong to any queue

                            c.      If more than one WO falls within any of these queue classifications, the WOs are sorted as follows:

In ascending order, by latest starting date (LSD)

                                                  i.       In descending order, by execution priority.

      For more information, see Warehouse Order Prioritization.

       2.      If there are no manually assigned WOs, the system checks for available WOs.

                            a.      The WOs must comply with the following conditions:

                                                  i.       The WOs belong to one of the resource’s or resource group’s assigned queues.

                                                ii.       The WOs belong to queues in which the resource is authorized to work.

                                               iii.       The WOs belong to queues with the same operating environment as the resource.

                                               iv.       If the resource chose a System-Guided by Queue option, the WOs must also belong to the selected queue.

The WOs can be executed by the requesting resource type (according to its bin access type and handling unit type group qualifications).

                            b.      The WOs are sorted as follows:

                                                  i.       In ascending order, by latest starting date (LSD)

                                                ii.       In descending order, by execution priority.
