 Interleaving

Use

Mobile Data Entry provides interleaving functionality, alleviating dead-heading in RF-managed warehouses.

Integration

Interleaving utilizes the putaway and picking/replenishment functions.

Prerequisites

  1. Transfer orders (TOs) for picking/replenishment are available in the warehouse.

  2. The TOs belong to the same queue. For more information on queues, see RF Queue Management .

Features

The system enables two types of interleaving:

  • Interleaving by storage unit/handling unit

  • System-guided interleaving

Activities

  1. A forklift operator receives a TO for putaway via its RF device.

  2. The operator performs and confirms the putaway.

  3. The operator receives a TO for picking/replenishment.

  4. After confirming the TO, the operator is able to repeat the process, the cyclical nature of work assignments providing it with a continuous workflow.

    Note Note

    You can use the user exit function EXIT_SAPLLMOB_061to define selection criteria for identifying the next TO to be processed for picking/replenishment. For example, you can use it to assign TOs for picking/replenishment with a source storage bin close to the destination storage bin of the previous TO for putaway.
