HTML5 / Pickface Replenishment [REP053]

Warehouse supervisors will monitor the progress of replenishments using the PC-based Pickface Replenishment Review screen, and the replenishment staff will be tasked to pick the necessary stock by moving through the warehouse, selecting replenishment lines on the HTML5 scanner

When stock must be moved between a bulk bin warehouse and a pickface bin warehouse the Fetch and Put-Away process will be used.

There are two ways of picking replenishments on the HTML5 scanner:

Direct replenishment
Fetch and Put-Away

Let us review the Fetch and Put-Away process.

When using the Fetch and put-away option for replenishment, the user would typically be moving stock between a bulk warehouse and a pickface warehouse, so will therefore perform a two-stage process of

1) fetching the supplying stock onto a carrier pallet and then

2) putting it away into the pickface bin as a second transaction.

The benefit of using this process is that the stock can be tracked while ‘in-transit’, between supplying bin warehouse and the destination bin warehouse.

The user will require a temporary carrier label for the first stage. Let’s print a temporary tote label.

Printing a temporary carrier tote label

Each replenishment user would need to print out a ‘temporary’ carrier label for the use of carrying the required stock code from bulk to the pickface location. This carrier label would typically be placed on the empty carrier pallet which will be used to fetch the stock code from bulk.

Fetch the stock code

Now the user must fetch the required stock code, which must be replenished.

Browse to the Information Check screen under KPI Dashboard & Reporting / Standard Reports / Information Check
Enter the Stock code number that requires replenishment (as per the Pickface Replenishment Review screen) and select a pallet within a Bulk Bin that will be used to Replenish the stock in a Pick Face Bin

Follow the same process explained in Fetch stock to replenish pickface bin until you are on the Fetch tab.

On the Fetch tab, the TrackID value will be the Pallet number that was selected from Bulk bin.

Put-Away into the Pickface bin

In this process, the To TrackID field will however be the Tote Label that we have created in Printing temporary carrier tote label and not the pickface bin/TrackID

Enter the Quantity to be replenished and select Post.

IN PROGRESS items are colour green

At this stage, the replenishment user will physically move the stock to the pickface warehouse on the temporary carrier pallet with the temporary tote label. On arrival at the destination bin, the user would open the Put-Away TAB on the Pickface Replenishment scanner-based screen and follow the next process:

User must open the Put Away TAB

Open the Pickface Replenishment module on the scanner and open the Put Away TAB
The replenishment user must scan the temporary carrier pallet tote label into the TrackID field. The scanner will then indicate which pickface bin the stock is destined for.
The user must then scan the pickface TrackID that will populate the To TrackID field
Select Post to post the transaction.
This action would now complete this replenishment.
