Scanning Items
When warehouse staff scan locations, the system creates item information for the new bulk tag. Only tags not counted are automatically available with the sort method.
Since the RF physical inventory function can be used for both count and recount options, if warehouse staff scan an already counted tag, the system considers this a recount.
For an item tag, you need to:
• Scan the location.
• Scan the item number.
• Enter the quantity counted.
• Optionally, enter a remark or reason code.
For a bulk tag, you need to enter the same information, and:
• Lot/serial information
• Reference (pallet number)
The item description is displayed as soon as the item is identified. For an item tag, it is displayed immediately. For a bulk tag, it is displayed after the item is scanned.
The system validates the following:
• The location must be a valid location (bulk tag) or the same as the item tag location.
• The item must be a valid item (bulk tag) or the same as the item tag part number.
• The remark can be validated if there is a corresponding generalized code entry. An F2 help function is available to help select a reason code from a predefined list on the RF device.
All counted quantities are done in the item base UM. All scanned fields support the barcode prefix function of QAD Warehousing.
