Timeout for locked records

The time that a screen can be open in an RF unit with no activity can be limited. You can use the parameter 7509, RF Timeout Seconds, to control the time that a screen remains open in an RF unit with no activity. The minimum value for the parameter is 180 seconds, or 3 minutes, with a maximum value of 99999 seconds.

Use this limitation to avoid inventory and bin location records from being locked for an extended period. For example, if the user is temporarily away or has forgotten to exit the screen. Locked records can keep correct updates from occurring when multiple users are picking, counting, and moving stock in the application. By setting the parameter, if a user is on the primary screen and makes no entry for 3 minutes, then the incomplete pick or stock movement is not completed. Then, the user is returned to the previous screen.
