Logging on to a work center

For most of the transactions within the main menu for deconsolidation you need to log on to a certain work center to get proposals for several input fields.

Creating multiple handling units (HUs)

The creation of multiple empty putaway HUs can be used as preparation for deconsolidation.

Creating a single HU

The creation of a single empty putaway HU can be used as preparation for deconsolidation.

Deconsolidating HUs

Deconsolidation is the repacking/sorting of items from the deconsolidation HU into several putaway HUs. Repacking is based on transfer order (TO) confirmation. After the TOs have been confirmed, a new TO is created that is then used for putaway. Sorting occurs by the consolidation group which is copied from the activity area of the final putaway bin to the product TO.

Deconsolidating HUs manually

Deconsolidation can also take place without you logging on to a work center. In this case, the system does not propose a putaway HU. Instead, you have to enter the putaway HU manually. The system still checks if the destination HU is valid for the selected TO.

HU overview

The HU overview screen provides an overview of the deconsolidation HU that you want to deconsolidate, for example, the number of open TOs, weight, and volume.

Creating a single HU manually

You can create a putaway HU without logging on to a work center. In this case, the system does not propose a packaging material or a bin. The creation of a single empty putaway HU can be used as preparation for deconsolidation.

Changing HUs

In this RF transaction, you can close a putaway HU, delete an empty HU, convert a deconsolidation HU into a putaway HU, and condense a deconsolidation HU. Whenever a putaway HU becomes full, you have to close the HU in order for it to be ready for the next process step such as putaway. If you have created a HU in the system that you no longer need, you can delete it. To deconsolidate nested HUs, you have to condense them first.
