Staging locations

You can stage a tote, carton, pallet, or shipping pallet from any screen on the RF.

  1. From the RF, press F7 to access the staging location function.
  2. In the Staging Loc Movement screen, the last container you worked with in receiving, picking, packing, or shipping is initially the default value in the screen. Accept the default container or scan a new container ID. The current containers staged for the same customer are displayed after you press Enter.
  3. If you scan a container that is already in a staging location, you can specify a different location. This action moves the container from one staging location to another.
  4. Optionally, scroll to the right to view additional information.
  5. Scan the staging location in which you are placing the container. If you press Enter on a blank field, a list of valid staging locations is displayed.
  6. After you select a staging location, you are asked to verify the location.
    Specify one of these options:
    Option Description
    Yes To verify the location
    No To be prompted to scan another location

    You can cancel the procedure by pressing F4 at any time.

  7. To inquire on a staging location, or retrieve a container from a staging location, press F8. You can access the staging location inquiry from any screen on the RF.
  8. In Staging Loc Inquiry, scan the container or location and press Enter.

    If you scan a container ID, the cursor is displayed in the Retrieve field instead of the browse. This selection streamlines the processing because you already identified a container. If the staging location contains products, they are displayed on the Staging Loc Retrieve screen.

  9. You can also specify an order number, customer, ship-to location, carrier, or leave any field blank. Leave the field blank to look at all values for that field. However, a partial or invalid entry cannot find any matching criteria in the staging file.
  10. To view additional information, press the up arrow to highlight the staging location and scroll to the right. To retrieve the container, press the down arrow and change the Retrieve field to Yes.
