Understanding RF transaction flows using alternate items

The same alternate item code can be associated to multiple items in the application. When you scan or specify an alternate item code during an RF transaction, the system attempts to validate the item/alternate item.

  • If the system successfully determines the item/alternate item, the RF transaction flow continues.
  • If the system matches multiple item numbers to the alternate item code, the Item Select (SAI) screen is displayed with the list of matches. You can select the applicable item from the list and proceed with the transaction.

These processes include the Item Select screen within the RF screen flows if the system identifies multiple item numbers:

  • Receiving
  • Move from QC
  • Putaway
  • Replenishment and Moves
  • Picking
  • Packing
  • Batch Sorting and Pick to Grid Sorting
  • Cycle count and Physical Inventory
  • Inventory Inquiry
