HTML5 - Replenishment Picking [PIK069]
Replenishment, the process of restocking inventory, is a crucial aspect of warehouse management. It involves moving products from bulk storage or reserve areas to pick locations or other areas where the products are needed to fulfil orders. The goal of replenishment is to ensure that there is always enough stock on hand to meet demand while minimizing excess inventory and maximizing space utilization within the warehouse. Effective replenishment processes, which you play a vital role in, are critical for maintaining accurate inventory levels, optimizing order fulfilment, and ensuring timely customer delivery.
DATASCOPE WMS has two replenishment modules to assist warehouses with the replenishment process.
After the Replenishment pick slips has been created and in a PRINTED status the pickers can start picking it.
Warehouse supervisors will monitor the progress of replenishments using the PC-based Pick Slip Review screen, and the replenishment staff will be tasked with picking the necessary stock by moving through the warehouse and selecting replenishment lines on the HTML5 scanner.
The picking of Replenishment picking slips works in the same way as all picking in the DATASCOPE WMS software: the slip is assigned to a picker, and all details are tracked, including what was picked from where to where, at what time, and by whom.

The operator will start with the picking by first looking at his pick slip printout.
Notice that this screen is broken down into multiple TABS, starting with Assign. This is used when the logged-in user assigns the pick slip to himself. The barcode in the top right-hand corner of the physical pick slip, will be scanned with the scanner to start the process. This will automatically populate the screen with the pick slip number
The Slips TAB gives a list of all the assigned pick slips to the logged-in user.
Select the pick slip that you want to pick and then select Next to go to the next TAB
The Items TAB will open which will give you a summary of all the Bins, Tracking IDs, stock codes, and Qty that are on the pick slip. You can also see in the Scanned column how many you have scanned to date. This is all for information purposes

The Pick TAB will open. This is the main picking screen that explains what Sugg Tracking ID, stock code, and quantity the picker must fetch. In the blue section, the picker can see the stock code and description of the item. It also indicates whether it is a Lot traceable item or not.
The picker will then physically go to the Sugg Bin and scan the TrackID; you can also type it into the TrackID field. If you TAB off the field the rest of the fields will auto-populate
The picker will see at the top of the screen what the Qty is that must be picked, and this must be updated in the Quantity field
Select Post to indicate that the item has been picked. The screen will automatically load to the next item on the pick slip to be picked
