    To ID
    Specify the drop ID for the pick.
    Note: Use a Drop ID if you are assigning your ID to the container you create during the pick. This can be a smaller container such as a tote or carton or a large container such as a pallet. If a new ID (Drop ID) is assigned during the pick, this becomes the license plate for the picked inventory.

See the Infor WMS Configuration User Guide for information on RF Picking Strategies. The Prompts Editor tool is also available to control RF behavior including the fields that display and require entry during pick confirmation.

    If the drop ID is blank, the product is tracked by using the case ID through inventory.
