Wireless Warehouse - Bin Replenishment

Wireless Warehouse bin replenishment tasks are performed with a handheld device. When you perform a bin replenishment task, the handheld appears, as follows:

Purpose

Move products from one bin to another to replenish low inventory.

Overview

Use the bin replenishment task to record products being transferred from one bin to another bin that needs to be replenished. This task type is created manually in Directed Putaway and Bin Replenish. You can enter the replenishment information by scanning, or by manually typing it. For more information, see Wireless Warehouse Bin Replenishment Process Flow.

Note This task is equivalent to using Putaway Ticket Confirmation to confirm a bin replenishment.

Performing the Task

To perform a bin replenishment task:

  1. At the Wireless Warehouse Handheld Menu on the handheld device, enter Get Next Task. The bin replenishment task screen appears. The bin displays at the top of the handheld screen to direct you to go to a specific bin.

  2. If the bin from which you are moving a product is not automatically entered in the From Bin field, scan the bin, or enter it in the field. The Transit Bin field displays your user bin to indicate that you are picking up the product.

  3. Scan the product you are moving, or enter the product code, UPC, or GTIN in the SKU field.

  4. If the unit of measure is not automatically entered, enter the unit of measure for the product in the U/M field. You cannot change the unit of measure because you must pick up in the correct unit of measure.

  5. If the product is tracked by lot or serial number, scan the lot or serial number, or enter it in the Lot or Serial field.

  6. If you are not required to scan each unit of the product, enter the quantity you are moving in the Qty field. If you are required to scan each unit of the product, repeat steps 3 to 5 for all units.

  7. Repeat steps 2 to 6 for each product you are moving. When you are finished entering information for the products you are moving, the bin replenishment task closes, and a putdown task is created, which immediately appears on the handheld device. For more information on putdown tasks, see Wireless Warehouse - Putdown.
