Receiving transship containers

The transship process begins when the transship container arrives at the distribution center. When a transship receipt is entered into the RF device, a transship file stores the orders populated from the receipt.

The easiest way to receive transship containers into the facility is to use an RF device. You can also enter information on a workstation using the Transship Maintenance screen.

To receive transship containers:

  1. Select Main > Receiving from the RF device. The Printer ID (PID) screen is displayed.
  2. Specify the printer ID and press Enter. The Receiving Menu (RCM) screen is displayed.
  3. Select More Options.
  4. Select Crossdock Menu. The Crossdock Rcpt (RXM) screen is displayed.
  5. Select Transship. The Transship Tasks (TRT) screen is displayed.
  6. Select Trnsship Receive. The Transship RCV (RC13) screen is displayed.
  7. Specify information in the appropriate fields.
  8. Press Enter twice. The RF device transmits the data to the database and then is displayed a new screen for the next record.
    Note: 
    • If invalid data is entered, the application displays an error message. Correct the data and then try again.
    • If you specify an existing External Shipment Number, a warning message is displayed.
  9. Repeat Steps from 7 until all records are specified.
  10. To return to the main menu, press Esc.
