Picking an order by wave

When dropping orders in waves, your manager can sort orders by order type. Then, orders can be sorted by branch, carrier, class, customer and ship to, customer, estimated ship date, order, priority, type, single-line orders, and zone.

In TWL, you can pick by wave. This enables one employee to pick several orders, or more than one employee to pick the same order. The employees must be working in different zones, unless your warehouse zones are overlaid. Overlaid means that aisles exist in more than one TWL Configuration-Warehouse Zone master record.

  1. From the RF Main Menu, select Order Picking.
  2. Select Pick Options.
  3. Select Wave.
  4. If you are using a truck, specify the pallet ID on the truck for this picking task. Otherwise, press Enter through the Truck Pallet field.
  5. Select a wave.
  6. If multiple operators are picking the same wave, specify the Zone and Aisle. If you are picking all lines in this wave, press Enter as you pick through the wave.
  7. Select a line item and press Enter.
  8. Scan or specify the picking location, the product number, and the quantity picked.

    If a lot number was assigned to the line item, press F6 and the up arrow, then scroll to the right to view the lot number. You can also view the available lengths in the lot, if applicable.

  9. If you are in a pick-to-tote warehouse, scan the pallet or tote ID. If your warehouse is pick-to-pack, scan the carton ID.
