RF Overpick Replenishment and Put Away
RF Overpick Replenishment and Put Away
Using the RF, warehouse staff can select a multi- or single-item pallet from the reserve area and replenish one or multiple locations from the pallet in the picking area. After staff replenish, they can return the remainder on the pallet to the reserve area.
Staff select a complete pallet, then replenish in the home (dedicated) location. If you set up the system to use the RF pallet overpick program, the system is now using overpick logic. The quantity to replenish in the location displays on the RF, but staff typically put as much as they can into the home location. The remainder of the pallet that is not used for replenishment is returned to stock using put-away logic. For this reason, this functionality is termed overpick replenishment and put away. Staff can return items individually from a multi-item pallet or return the complete pallet.
Note: Staff can also put away in an overflow area as long as you specify the correct put-away algorithm for this area. See
Put-Away Algorithms.
Once the user selects the pallet, all stock that the user picks is moved to the user location. Transferring stock to the user location avoids errors should other warehouse staff have to recount the source location before the replenishment movement is completed. If the system sees stock is in the source location and not in the user location when the recount starts, the quantities would be in error.
Using the single pallet, the user can optionally:
• Meet the total replenishment requirement for a pick.
• Replenish more than the total replenishment requirement for a pick.
• Replenish less than the total requirement for a pick.
When replenishing beyond the requirement, the system still considers the task complete. When replenishing less than the total requirement, the replenishment is not complete and the status of the replenishment task is open and required.
