Configuring sortation stations

You must first define sort stations as a valid location before you can configure them for use as a sort station. A sort station consists of several sort locations that the sorter uses to ‘put’ the contents of each order into an outbound container.

  1. Select Configuration > Location. The Location is displayed.
  2. Click New.
  3. Specify this information:
    • Location
    • Location Type (must be Sort Station)
    • Zone

      After you define sort stations as a location, you can add the sortation station.

  4. Select Configuration > Sort Station. The Sortation Station screen is displayed.
  5. Click New.
  6. Specify this information in the header fields on the Station tab:
    • Sortation Station
    • Number of Sort Locations
    • Number of Queued Batches
  7. Specify this information in the detail fields to define the sort location:
    • Sort Location
    • Location Status
    • # of Positions
    • Drop ID
    • Sorted status picked/ Sorted: Creates the pick details for the shipment order in the Pick / Sorted status.
      Note: If this check box is cleared, the pick details created using the system setting, which controls the sorting status.
    • Put To Wall: Indicates that the sort station can be used for Put To Wall.
  8. To create additional sort locations in the sort station, click New in the detail portion of the screen. Repeat step 7 above.
