Warehouse staff can activate engine processing and process engine workfiles from a radio frequency (RF) device. To do this, some steps within the internal routing must be defined as MANUAL. When a step is MANUAL, the system does not automatically create a task for the step; instead, it creates a request for movement in the form of an engine workfile. RF users can use the RF Engine Activation (1.6) to process the workfile. This lets warehouse staff delay tasks until they are ready to start on them.

Once you select the RF Engine Activation option, the system prompts you to enter the location. Depending on the activity being processed, the engine type, and engine workfile, the system may prompt warehouse staff to enter additional data, such as the reference number for containers they are moving to another location. Once all data is entered, the engine processor processes the MANUAL engine workfile.
