  • If you want to use another speed pick location for some of the entries, clear the applicable Speed Location fields. Specify or look up the desired speed pick location in one of the Speed Location fields. Click Update Blank to populate the blank Speed Location fields are populated with the speed pick location.

Once you have specified speed locations, click Consolidate.

  • The system consolidates all entries with a speed pick location specified.
  • If no entries have a speed pick location specified, a message is displayed indicating that no items on the wave are configured for consolidation so the wave cannot be consolidated.
