Setting up TWL RF employees

  1. Select TWL Administration > RF Employee.
  2. In the Search pane, specify a TWL warehouse and click Search.
  3. Click New.
  4. In Company, the company you are logged into autopopulates the field.
  5. In Warehouse, the warehouse you specified autopopulates the field.
  6. In Employee ID, specify the new employee ID number. A unique 8-character number must be assigned to an employee for a specified company-warehouse combination. An employee ID is required to log into the RF system.
  7. In Password, specify that employee’s password. You can also select the User Must Change Password at Next Login option.
  8. Click Save.
  9. Select Active for the system to process information for this employee.
  10. In the General section, specify this information:
    Name
    The employee name is used on productivity, activity, and management reports.
    Title
    The title is used on productivity, activity, and management reports.
    Department
    The department that is assigned to an employee. A valid department is required.
    Shift
    The shift that is assigned to an employee. A valid shift is required.
    Rush Check Warehouse Zones

    Assign this employee to one, multiple, or all warehouse zones. You can select a zone from the check box group in the Rush Check Warehouse Zones field, or select the All option. The zone(s) available in the field's check box group must have been previously set up in the TWL Configuration-Warehouse Zone master record. The All option selects all zones set up in the Warehouse Zone master record.

    The warehouse zone works in conjunction with system parameters 7003, Rush Order Notify, and 7012, Alt Whse Order Notify. Parameter 7003 controls the frequency with which a picker is notified that an emergency order must be picked. If you set the parameter to a non-zero value and assign a picker to a warehouse zone, then that picker is notified if an emergency order must be picked in the picker’s assigned zone. Parameter 7012 controls the frequency with which a picker is notified that an emergency order needs to be picked from an alternate warehouse.

  11. In the RF Security section, specify this information:
    RF Admin
    To grant authorization to access all listed functions, select the RF Admin option.
    Maximum Concurrent RF Logins
    Use this setting to enable up to four RF login sessions for a single user ID. The RF session number is displayed on the RF next to the Main Menu to indicate the current session. TWL transactions are recorded for each RF login for historical and performance monitoring.
    Access to functions
    If the RF Admin option is cleared, you must select individual functions to grant access to that function for this RF operator. Operators who do not have access to at least one function do not have access to these modules on the RF menu. Typically, all RF operators have access to the Inventory Control option. Be aware that this Inventory Control option enables the operator to perform item maintenance, such as creating a cross-reference, but also permits access to the inventory control records if an operator is short-picking a line item. Modify your settings so the operator's procedural tasks are performed in the appropriate function.
    Quick Pack Allowed
    This option enables you to pack items immediately into a carton instead of having to scan each line item from a tote into a carton at the packing station. This functionality works in conjunction with system parameter 1055, Quick Pack. Parameter 1055 must be set to Yes in TWL Administration-System Parameters for this option to be available. When the Quick Pack Allowed option is selected, the message Pack items in tote into one carton? displays on the RF device when you enter the Tote ID and Carton ID of an item.
  12. Click Save.
