Enter the number for the wave you want to release. The system displays the status of the wave, and any remarks entered when the wave as created, as well as the associated site and warehouse.

Enter a valid lane group. A lane group is a collection of shipping lanes. You define lane groups in Lane Group Maintenance (4.15.1.5).

The system creates release groups (collections of orders) automatically and assigns them to shipping lanes when you release the wave if you set options in Wave Planning Control, or you can do this manually in Wave Release Group Creation (4.15.9).

See here.

Indicate whether the system creates multiple release groups or only one release group for the entire wave when you release the wave. This field defaults from the same-named field in Wave Planning Control.

No: The system creates only one release group for the entire wave you are releasing.

Yes: The system creates more than one release group for the entire wave you are releasing.

Specify a default priority value for a wave release. This field defaults from the same-named field in Wave Planning Control. The system creates the release group when you release the wave. Once created, you can assign the release group to a lane; however, the system may create tasks and an RF device can receive the tasks before you assign the release group to a shipping lane. To prevent this, set this field to 0 (zero). The default is 0.

Indicate a number for the limit of picks per release group. This field defaults from the same-named field in Wave Planning Control. If you do not want to limit the number of picks per release group, enter the maximum value of 99999.

Specify the default priority the system assigns to the picking tasks once you activate release groups. If you want the tasks to be processed with RF devices, specify a non-zero value. When using batch picking in the picking area, this value is not important as long as it is a non-zero value. This is because batch picking sorts orders by order priority, not task priority, and selects tasks based on the travel sequence. For other picking techniques, though, when warehouse staff use the RF Next Task screen, the task priority is important. This field defaults from the same-named field in Wave Planning Control.

Enter an algorithm that the system uses to create the release group. This field defaults from the Release Group Algorithm field in Wave Planning Control. See here.

Specify the value of the priority for the next wave. This field defaults from the Priority field in Wave Planning Control.

When you release the wave, the system updates the wave priority and all order priorities for the wave you are releasing based on the value of this field. The order priority value is decremented by one for each new wave that you release. When you re-release a wave, however, the priority does not change. For the highest priority wave, the system sorts orders or pre-shippers by descending order with the highest number orders or pre-shippers displaying first in the RF batch-picking screens.
