Building a cherry pick replenishment pallet

This section describes how to build a cherry pick replenishment pallet.

  1. Print a standard Infor WMS Warehouse Management generic LPN barcode label. A number of these labels are carried by the cherry picker. This ID is not used for any other purpose; there is no other inventory against this ID.
  2. From RF Task Manager, select the Cherry Pick Replenishment screen and scan the ID from the barcode label against which a cherry pick pallet is built.
  3. Complete the replenishment tasks sent by the application.
Note:  The maximum number of tasks you can receive is 999.

Determining task priority

The application determines whether there are existing cherry pick replenishment tasks against this ID.

If there are no replenishments against the entered ID, the application builds a list of replenishment work based on these rules:

  • The application finds the highest priority replenishment in the area for To Locations that are in zones with replenishment type set to Cherry Pick Replenishment. These areas also have a stocker PND location setup (In Location).
  • The To Location zone for this first replenishment is used to build remaining replenishment tasks by looking for To Locations in that zone, and From Locations in the area or areas for which you have permission to perform cherry pick replenishments.
  • A list of cherry pick replenishment tasks is built until one of the following occurs:
    • Maximums (Cube/Weight/Qty) are reached
    • The limit of 999 tasks is reached
    • There are no more Cherry Pick Replenishments for the first To Location zone to process.

Pick and Drop

Pick and Drop logic is called to determine the correct To Loc, which is based on the last From Location for the cherry pick replenishment pallet. See the Infor WMS Pick and Drop User Guide.

All replenishments then display to you in the From Location route sequence and are completed individually.

You can specify a TAG value for each task to identify the case being replenished, which could be a generic label applied to cases that have no item identification or an existing barcode on the case. This tag is visible and selectable on the tasks presented to the stocker.

  1. Upon completion of each cherry pick replenishment task, inventory is moved to the first PND location as defined, which is an interim location, not the pick location. A stocker putaway task is created, but is not made available. This stocker task is FROM the To Location zone’s In Location, TO the required Pick location being replenished.
    Note:  If a user abandons part of the replenishment, normal abandon logic is invoked, and only that part of the cherry pick replenishment is abandoned. If the entire cherry pick is abandoned, there is a Close Pallet option that sets all tasks to a Cancelled status.
  2. After the cherry pick replenishment pallet has been built, and all replenishment tasks for that pallet have been completed or cancelled, the following steps occur:
    • A final screen prompts you to take the pallet (ID) to the To Loc, and press Enter to confirm.
    • If the first PND location in the sequence (according to Pick and Drop logic) is not the In Location of the Pick Zone, an extra move task is created to take the pallet from the first PND location in the sequence to the final PND location (the In Location of the Pick Zone). This task adheres to Pick and Drop logic.
    • Once the pallet has been moved to the final PND location (the In Location of the Pick Zone), the stocker tasks are made available through Task Manager.
    • If the first PND location in the sequence (according to Pick and Drop logic) is the In-Location of the Pick Zone, then the tasks for the Stocker Putaway are made available.
