Position Management 

Use

Position management enables an RF device user to validate handling units (HUs) by their position number, rather than by their HU number. This is particularly useful when the HU number tags are not readily accessible, such as when the HUs are stacked on top of each other.

       1.      An RF user logged on as a resource navigates to the pick HU introduction screen (0200) and scans a pick HU.

       2.      If the resource’s resource type has automatic position management, the following occurs:

                            a.      The scanned HU is assigned to the next available position.

                            b.      The cursor moves to the next HU input field.

       3.      If the resource’s resource type has manual position management, the following occurs:

                            a.      The cursor moves to the position field.

                            b.      The resource manually enters the position number.

                            c.      The HU is assigned to the position.

                            d.      The cursor moves to the next HU input field.

       4.      In the background, an internal warehouse task (WT) is created to update the HU location and logical position.
