Wireless Warehouse - Pending Receipt Create

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

Purpose

Create a pending receipt.

Overview

Use the pending receipt create task to create a new pending receipt, which allows you to indicate products are received into the pending receipt dock in the warehouse from a purchase order or container. This task is self-initiated from the handheld device. You can enter the pending receipt information by scanning, or by manually typing it.

Note This task is equivalent to using Receiving Entry to create a pending receipt.

You can also use this task to build license plates for a previously created pending receipt.

Performing the Task

To perform a pending receipt create task:

  1. At the Wireless Warehouse Handheld Menu, enter Initiate Task. The Initiate Task screen appears. For more information on this screen, see Wireless Warehouse Handheld Menu.

  2. Enter Pending Receipt Create. The pending receipt create task screen appears.

  3. Scan the pending receipt dock where product is being received, or enter the dock in the Dock field.

  4. Scan the bin in which the product is being received, or enter the bin in the Bin field.

  5. Scan the pending receipt type, or enter the pending receipt type in the Type field.

  6. Scan the purchase order or container, or enter the purchase order or container in the Ref # field. The screen changes to allow you to scan/enter product and license plate information.

  7. Scan the product, or enter the product code, UPC, or GTIN in the SKU field. If you scan or enter a UPC that is associated with multiple product codes, a new handheld screen appears, which allows you to select the appropriate product code. If this screen appears, click a row in the grid to select a product. If the product, UPC, or GTIN has an associated unit of measure, the unit of measure is automatically entered in the U/M field.

  8. If the unit of measure is not automatically entered, enter the unit of measure for the product in the U/M field.

  9. If the license plate is not automatically entered in the License Plate field, scan the license plate or enter it in the field. If the field is disabled and you want to use a new license plate, select Tools Images\bluerarw.gif Next License Plate.

  10. If you are not required to scan each unit of the product, enter the quantity received in the Qty field. Put the product on a pallet (license plate) as you count it.

  11. Repeat steps 7 to 10 for all received products.

  12. When you are finished receiving all products for the receipt count demand, select Tools Images\bluerarw.gif Done. You have completed the task and the Initiate Task menu appears.
