Moving transship containers

After you receive transship containers, the next step is to move them into a location in the warehouse. The application generates a move task based on existing lane assignments when a transship order is processed.

Application-generated and manually added move tasks for transship containers are completed on the RF Transship Move screen on the workstation. The following rules apply to moving Transship Containers:

  • If a transship container is received for a customer with an outbound lane assignment, a move is generated to the outbound lane.
  • If a transship container is received for a customer with a customer lane assignment, a move is generated to the customer lane.
  • If a transship container is received for a customer with a customer and outbound lane assignment, a move is generated to the outbound lane.
  • If a transship container is received for a customer without a customer or outbound lane assignment, a move is generated to the intermediate drop zone.
  • If a transship container is located in the intermediate drop zone and the customer assigned to the container receives a lane assignment, a move is generated to the appropriate lane.
Note:  In this case, the term transship container refers to a pallet or case, not a shipping vessel.
