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. Select Order Picking from the RF Main Menu.
  2. Select Pick Options.

  6. Specify the Zone and Aisle, if multiple operators are picking the same wave. If you are picking all lines in this wave, press Enter as you pick through the wave.

  8. Scan or specify the picking location, the product number, and the quantity picked.
    Note: 
    • 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.
    • After the quantity is specified, the Add Line Comment window is displayed, if the Line Comment Required check box is selected for the product on the Product Warehouse Product Setup - Warehouse Logistics screen.
  9. Specify a line comment for the product.
    Note: Parameter 7522 (Require Line Notes) determines whether the line comment is mandatory.
