Enhancements

This section describes the enhancements that are available in this production update.

Voice tally and countdown picking (JR-99)

Voice selectors now have an option to get picking tasks by route number. New picking dialogs for Countdown and Tally picking were also added as options for Voice Selection.

Countdown picking logic enables the total quantity for an item to be picked as a series of smaller quantity amounts. After each smaller quantity of units are picked, Voice counts down the remaining quantity to be picked for that item. A new setting in the Voice Task package controls whether to use the Countdown or Normal picking dialog.

Tally picking logic is similar to countdown picking, in that it also enables the total quantity of an item to be picked as a series of smaller amounts. These are the key differences:
  • Tally picking is used only for items that have an order quantity in a linear unit of measure, such as feet or meters. For example, you could use tally picking to pick lengths of fabric or boards of lumber.
  • In addition to the voice selector stating the number of units for each smaller quantity, they must also specify the length of the units that were picked.
  • Voice keeps a running tally of the units and the total length picked. For example, a voice selector could pick a total of 100 linear feet of lumber using various quantities of boards that were 8, 12 and 16 feet in length.
  • Tally picking also has a new setting in the Voice Task package that controls its usage.
