Store replenishment

This feature allows the user to pick items for replenishment of an external store.

A store replenishment consists of two parts:

  • Parcel picking from buffer location (Parcel picking)
  • Unit picking from picking location (Unit picking)

Both parts are not always used, but in case both parts are used, the parcel picking must always be finished before starting unit picking.

Overview

The start screen for store replenishment consists of three parts:

  1. Replenishment job
    You can choose to work with another replenishment by tapping the upper part of the screen that shows date and serial number.
  2. Button to go to parcel picking
  3. Replenishment stores
    Here all stores included in the replenishment job are shown, together with the status for each store and the number of pieces left.

Parcel picking

Tap the button for parcel picking to start the parcel picking.

  1. Enter a parcel to work with
    If the parcel is included in the current replenishment job, information about the parcel is shown along with information about the amount to pick for each store.
  2. Enter a cart to pick to
    If the cart doesn’t exist, the program will ask if you want to create the cart – Choose Yes
  3. If the parcel should be used for more than one store:
    1. Confirm the amount that you want to pick for the current cart.
      This step is not shown if the whole parcel should be picked to the same store.

If the parcel should be used for more stores the program returns to the step before. Otherwise the program returns to step 1.

Finalize parcel picking

When all parcels for a given store has been transferred, the cart should be finished. This can be done in two ways:

  1. Start unit picking – then the program will ask if you want to finish the previous cart for parcel picking
  2. Return to the overview, tap on the store that you want to finish and hold down for 1-2 seconds, and then select “Finish cart” in the top right corner of the screen.

Unit picking

Start unit picking by clicking on the store for which you want to pick.

  1. Enter cart
    If the cart doesn’t exist, the program will ask if you want to create the cart – Choose Yes

The unit picking screen contains a picking list and an input area where you can scan the units as they are picked. You can choose which article to pick, but the program always suggests the next article in the picking list.

  1. Enter picking location to pick from
    If the article is in the picking list, information about the article and the amount to be picked is shown.
  2. Confirm picked amount
    If the picking is successful the program returns to the picking list in order to pick the next article.

Postpone unit picking

You can choose to postpone the picking of a certain item from the picking list by tapping on it and holding down for 1-2 seconds and then select “Postpone” in the top right corner of the screen. This will put the selected item at the bottom of the picking list.

Finalize unit picking

When all articles in the list have been picked the cart should be finished. This is done in the overview by tapping the store that you want to finish and hold down for 1-2 seconds, and then select “Finish cart” in the top right corner of the screen.
