These instructions explain how to utilize routines and scanners to pick merchandise for customer pickup orders via RF barcode label scanning. Processes to be completed using STORIS menu options are indicated with the STORIS logo. Those functions you perform on the scanner are indicated with an image of a bar code scanner device.
Steps: Print Pickup Ticket, Review RF Picking (optional), Scan CPU Merchandise, Move From Interim, Review Screens (optional), Update RF Picking (optional), Damage a Piece in Prep (optional), Move to Staging (optional)
In STORIS, print the pickup tickets using either the Print a Delivery/Pick-Up/Transfer Tickets (Radio Frequency) routine or the Print Pickup Ticket check box on the Payment tab of Enter a Sales Order.
You
must print the pickup tickets using one of these methods. They are the
only two print pickup ticket routines that submit the items to picking.
It is recommended that you print the tickets from within Enter a Sales Order so that you have the option to change the scheduled date to match the day the merchandise is actually being picked. You also have the ability to add deposits to the order when you use this method.
Once a customer
pick up order has been sent for RF picking, the order's status cannot
be changed to Customer Will Call or As Soon As Possible.
In STORIS, select Review Radio Frequency Picking from the menu to view what was sent to the RF picking file.
Indicate the picking Location, Date Code, and Scheduled Date.
At the Type field, select Pickups.
At the Phase field, select All.
Double-click a line from the grid to access the Bar Code Pick Review screen.
You can then select a line in the grid, right-click and select More Details to view a read-only version of the order.
Log in to the scanner.
The Main Menu displays on the scanner.
Select #2 Picking.
Select #1 Pick Types.
Select #3 Customer Pickup.
At Order Number: or <enter> For Any, enter the first order number to pick or press the Enter button for all customer pickup orders ready to be picked. If you use forms designer printing you can scan the order number barcode from the top of the customer pickup ticket.
When finished entering order numbers, type 0 (zero) at the Order Number prompt and press Enter.
If using Float processing, the scanner prompts for Float: Scan the Float tag at this prompt. The float must not be in use.
The scanner displays the following information (shown here with example product/order info): Location: DOCK, Product: PROD1, Description: ABC PRODUCT, Order: 8818273, Serial Number (if needed) and Quantity.
At the Scan Locn prompt, scan the location label or enter the location. (DOCK, for example)
To indicate that the piece is not found in the expected location, you
can enter NIL at the Scan Locn
prompt. The system searches the warehouse for a replacement piece. If
found, you are prompted to scan the new piece or the new piece is placed
at the end of the pick list, depending on the location of the piece. If
not found, the piece is placed in RESEARCH.
At the Scan Prod prompt, scan the product label.
Alternate
Responses: To indicate that a piece is damaged, you can enter DG at the Scan Prod prompt. The
system changes the status of the piece to As-Is. The system searches the
warehouse for a replacement piece. If found, you are prompted to scan
the new piece or the new piece is placed at the end of the pick list,
depending on the location of the piece. If not found, the piece is placed
in RESEARCH.
To skip scanning a piece, enter SKIP
or scan a Skip label at the Scan Prod prompt. The skipped piece is placed
at the end of the picking list and you are prompted to scan it once you
have finished scanning the other pieces.
If the system skips a piece due to a locked aisle, the scanner displays
the message "No aisle free".
Provided another user is not currently picking an order in that aisle,
you can use the Remove Locked Aisles
(Radio Frequency) routine to unlock the aisle.
When finished scanning, if not using an Interim location, the scanner displays: Customer Drop-off ** NN To Do ** At Cpu Prep Area Location: CPUPREP (example location ).
If the warehouse is set up to drop off customer pickups at Interim, via the RF PICKING - Drop off Customer Pickups to Interim setting in Warehouse/Store Location Settings, the message displays At Cpu Interim Area Location: CPUINT (example interim location).
At the Location: prompt, scan the label for the drop-off location or enter the location. (For example, CPUPREP, CPUINT.)
After you scan the storage location where the merchandise is to be dropped (For non-AWM users, scan any valid storage location. For AWM users, the scanner displays the assigned drop location and you must scan that location.), the scanner displays all the products that are waiting to be dropped. For AWM users, this list of products to drop off is based on the product labels scanned and drop-off locations assigned. The number to the left of the product indicates the quantity of that product still left to be dropped. When in the drop-off mode, the scanner defaults the assigned drop-off location and the RFuser must drop off the products into the specified drop location from their AWM schedule. The number to the left of the product indicates the quantity of that product still left to be dropped. As you scan the products, this list of products is updated to decrement the counter and finally remove the scanned product when there is no longer any quantity of that product to be dropped.
For non-AWM, there is one list; you can change the drop location by scanning a different storage location label or by entering E or 0 at the product prompt.
If the Warehouse/Store
Location Settings, Barcode tab, RF
PICKING - Drop off Customer Pickups to Prep field is not checked,
items are dropped off directly to a Stage location rather than a Prep
location.
If the RF PICKING - Drop off All into
Prep or RF PICKING - Drop off
All into Staging field on the Barcode tab of Warehouse/Store
Location Settings is checked, all items in picking are dropped in
Prep/Stage at once; labels do not need to be re-scanned. If the field
is not checked, the items need to be scanned into the Prep/Stage location.
If using Floats, the scanner prompts for Float: Scan the Float tag at this prompt. This is the float that is currently in transit.
When there are no more items to be dropped off, the scanner returns to the Pick Types menu.
This step is mandatory if using float processing and the RF PICKING - Drop off Customer Pickups to Interim setting is active in your Warehouse/Store Location Settings.
Log in to the scanner.
The Main Menu displays on the scanner.
Select #2 Picking.
Select #2 Move from Interim.
At Location: scan prep or stage location label or enter prep/stage location (where float is currently located). (CPUINT, for example.)
The Float Count is displayed. At Float: scan float tag (float being moved).
When finished scanning floats to be moved, type 0 (zero) at Float: prompt.
At Location: type 0 (zero)
Prep Drop-off ** 1 to do** Prep Area Location: Scan destination location where Float is being moved.

If set to auto print, prep labels are printed. (Warehouse/Store Location Settings, Barcode tab, PREP LABELS - Automatically Print for Customer Pickups)
When finished, scanner returns to Picking menu.
You can use the following screens to view picking information in STORIS.
To see the current picking status of the items on the order(s), select Review Radio Frequency Picking.
To view detailed information for items that are in Prep, select the Review Radio Frequency Preparation routine.
To monitor pieces that were damaged or missing during the RF picking process, access the Review Radio Frequency Picking Error routine.
Use the Review Float Status routine in STORIS to view products linked to a float and to remove pieces from the float (pieces you do not physically have, for example).
To update a product that is currently in picking, access the Update Picking (Radio Frequency) routine from the STORIS menu.
To change the status of the piece to As-Is or NIL: after selecting the order, select a piece from the Bar Code Pick Review screen.
To damage a piece while it is in prep status, do the following:
Log in to the scanner.
The Main Menu displays on the scanner.
Select #2 Picking.
Select #3 Delivery Prep.
Select #3 Prep Lookup.
At Location: scan the location label or enter the location (CPUPREP, for example).
The scanner beeps and displays "No Prep Codes". Press the Enter button.
At the Change Status? (Y/N): prompt, enter Y.
At the Piece Damaged? (Y/N): prompt, enter Y to damage the piece.
The piece is assigned a reason code of PFD (Pick Found Damaged). The system attempts to replace the piece with another piece in inventory. If a replacement is found, the piece is re-committed to the order and placed back in picking. If the piece was not replaced, it is placed in RESEARCH.
Use this process to move the pieces or floats from Prep to Stage.
Select #2 Picking from the Main Menu.
Select #5 Delivery Prep.
Select #1 Move to Staging.

If the RF PICKING
- Drop off All into Staging field on the Barcode tab of Warehouse/Store
Location Settings is checked, all items in picking are dropped in
Stage at once; labels do not need to be re-scanned. If the field is not
checked, the items need to be scanned into the Stage location.
Once complete, scanner returns to the Delivery Prep menu.
If labels were not automatically printed, or were damaged and need to be re-printed, use option 2 Prep Label Print from the Delivery Prep menu.
