RF Navigation 

Purpose

This section describes the process for navigating from RF menus to transactions, as well as navigation within transactions.

 

Process

Menu Navigation

The RF framework supports the following options for menu navigation to RF transactions:

 

       1.      Standard Navigation

You choose the required menu item.

       2.      Direct Navigation to Transaction

You enter the number of the required menu item displayed, in the Menu field.

       3.      Virtual Navigation

Unlike the first options where navigation is accomplished from the displayed menus, this option enables “virtual” navigation between menus. You enter the numbers of all required menu items, including those not displayed on the current screen, but rather displayed on subsequent screens.

If on the main menu screen, you enter 415 in the Menu field, you navigate to the Pick by HU transaction.

Transaction Navigation

When in the screen for a particular logical transaction, you may be required to enter data, validate existing data, or a combination of both.

When data entry is required, the input field is open. You enter the data by scanning bar codes. If you enter data manually, you choose Enter after entering the value.

Where the content provider fills fields with content, the input fields may either be closed, or hidden (depending on Customizing for Extended Warehouse Management → Mobile Data Entry → Radio Frequency (RF) Framework → Define Logical Transaction Step Profiles → Define Validation Profile). Where the input fields are closed, you verify the values by scanning the bar codes.

After all input fields on the screen are filled, one of the following occurs:

●     If the Skip Shortcut indicator is set, the posting (for example, WT confirmation) is automatically triggered.

●     If the Skip Shortcut indicator is not set, you automatically navigate to the Shortcut field.

You can set the Skip Shortcut indicator when maintaining screens via the RF screen manager.

For more information, see the Implementation Guide (IMG) for Extended Warehouse Management → Mobile Data Entry → Radio Frequency (RF) Framework → RF Screen Manager.

You can invoke functions by choosing the corresponding function key pushbutton, or entering the function key in the Shortcut field.

Where necessary, you enter exception codes in the Shortcut field (for example, for differences).

You define exception codes in Customizing for Extended Warehouse Management → Cross-Process Settings → Exception Handling → Define Exception Codes.
