Using the MDE device

Hinweis

You can also access this information in compressed form directly on the mobile device by pressing the F10 key.

One of the most important elements when using SIEVERS WMS are the mobile devices, which can be used to scan barcodes and execute processes. The application on the devices is divided into different areas. These include A, B, C and numbers from 1 to a maximum of 9. In addition, areas D in the main menu and X in the submenus are available for customer-specific extensions. These areas are hidden by default and can be activated via the setup if required.

There are colored squares on the right side of many menu items and in the Team selection:

• Grey: There is currently nothing to do in this area or for this team.
• Green: There is work to be done in this area or for this team.

The menu can always be accessed with P1. Operation is either by menu or by shortcut. The shortcuts are shown in brackets next to the menu items.

If you access a new area of the first level, A8 Team/Forklift is opened first, where you specify the team, the forklift used and the printer station.

Depending on the device used, a toolbar is shown at the bottom of the display. Depending on the view, this toolbar shows a suitable combination of buttons consisting of standard functions such as Enter and Open keyboard as well as the menu functions belonging to the currently displayed page.

The processes are fundamentally structured so that there is an overview page of all available documents (X.1), which leads to the view of the specific document after scanning or selection (X.2). If a line is scanned or entered here, the line view and/or editing (X.3) is opened. Depending on the process, there are additional pages that can be opened.

When entering or scanning documents in the overview pages (X.1), the following should be noted: In these screens with document entry field, documents can also be found by partial entry of the document number. You do not necessarily have to enter the complete document number – the system automatically searches for matching documents.

Three cases are distinguished:

• One matching document found: The screen opens the document directly and continues as if the complete document number had been entered
• Multiple matching documents found: The document overview is automatically filtered to the found documents
• No matching document found: The document list is cleared and a red feedback with the message "Input not found" is displayed

The following sections show how the pages are structured and how they are used.

• Area A
• Area B
• Area C

A

A1 Warehouse receipt

A1. Warehouse Receipt includes all processes and MDE pages relating to warehouse receipt. As a rule, you start with A1.1 WHS Receipt Overview.

Please note that A1 has an Input check for identification of incoming items. This stipulates that before an item can be processed, it must first be clearly identified. This is to avoid subsequent assignment errors.

Process:

1. Enter a value in the scan/input field in pages A1.1, A1.2 or A1.3
2. The system now checks whether a unique load carrier/receipt line could be identified with the input. a. If yes, depending on the existence of a load carrier, A1.4 Pos. Processing (for previously created load carriers) or A1.6 LC Creation (to create new load carriers) opens. b. If no, A1.2k WR Filter opens, where the user can search for the correct item with further filter options

A1.1 Rec. Overview

The view of A1.1 shows an overview of all current warehouse receipts, that have the state 0-Notified or 2-Released MDE. The sorting is as follows:

1. By state (first all released, then all notified warehouse receipts)
2. If available, by arrival time in ascending order, otherwise by expected arrival in ascending order
3. By warehouse receipt no. in ascending order.

A1.0 New Unloading / Warehouse Receipt

On this page you can create a new warehouse receipt.

Either a supplier or a shipping agent must be entered. One of the two fields can remain empty. Alternatively, you can select a vendor or a customer via Selection. The other fields must all be filled in.

Hinweis

If some of the fields are greyed out and not editable please check the Whse. Rcpt. Mandatory Fields in the SIEVERS WMS Setup.

Use the button at the bottom right or the F6 key to take one or more photos of the truck before unloading. These are saved in the warehouse receipt and later also in the booked warehouse receipt in the fact box.

The last photo taken is always shown here. Further photos can be taken. To see these, the photos must be exported from the factbox. You can delete all photos with Delete.

When you are finished, create the warehouse receipt with Create or F5. If the process was successful, the system gives feedback in the form of the green banner Warehouse receipt created.

A1.2 Load Carrier Overview

The load carrier overview shows both the load carrier lines created in advance in the warehouse receipt and the document lines for which load carrier lines still need to be created.

The load carrier overview can be opened from A1.1 Rec. Overview by selecting a warehouse receipt process or by creating a new warehouse receipt process in "A1.0 New Unloading".

You can also manually assign receipt lines to this load carrier. To do this, access the menu B8 or enter a source document number manually to add it to the warehouse receipt. However, this is only recommended if there are very few documents.

3. The Filter (F5) button turns green, the employee presses F5. The employee is now shown the filtered page A1.2. As long as there is no uniqueness, the button is yellow. If several load carriers remain after all filter options have been used, the button turns green and the load carrier with the lowest load carrier number is selected.

A1.2a Load carrier Overview Src. Doc. Entry

If the warehouse receipt is a small delivery, employees can use this view to assign source documents individually, saving them a trip to the office or computer.

Hinweis

It is not recommended to enter a large number of documents via this view. This should still preferably be done via the classic document-oriented warehouse receipt.

When accessing receipt entry, you will first see an empty list. You can either enter a document number or scan it. You also have the option of clicking on the arrow to get an overview of all open purchase orders.

If you have just created a fresh warehouse receipt with supplier in A1.0 New Unloading, the list is filtered according to the supplier entered.

Now select the desired document. Only documents with open lines can be selected.

If you have selected a source document, all open lines are shown. You can now select a single line, which is loaded in A1.2 Load carrier overview. The load carrier creation can then be started there.

2. Assign weights and measures
3. Save values via Save button

A1.6s LC Creation | Serial Number Entry

The page A1.6s enables the entry of serial numbers when creating load carriers in the warehouse receipt. This function is designed for cases where no load carriers have been created in advance in the SNCL warehouse receipt and therefore no serial numbers can be transferred from pre-entry.

1. Left: Item no. and item description | Center: Quantity | Right: Serial no. counter. If the counter is red, it means that not all serial numbers have been entered yet. The number of serial numbers is less than the number of load carriers requiring serial numbers. If the counter is green, all required serial numbers have been entered
2. Serial number input. Newly scanned serial numbers are added at the top of the list, so that the most recently entered numbers are always directly visible without having to scroll. The serial numbers entered so far are displayed in the white area below this field.
3. Left: Inventory measure and dimensions | Right: Weight
4. Storage place

Trigger:

The page A1.6s opens automatically after quantity confirmation in A1.6 when:

• a serial number requirement exists in the receipt line from A1.2
• and no load carrier has been created yet in the SNCL warehouse receipt

Process:

1. In A1.6, a blank barcode or an empty load carrier is scanned
2. For items requiring serial numbers, the message "Enter serial numbers next" appears
3. After quantity input, A1.6s opens automatically
4. The focus is automatically on the serial number scan field
5. Exactly one serial number is entered per unit of measure
6. A quantity counter shows progress: Red for incomplete entry, Green for complete entry
7. With F5, the entry is completed, the load carrier is marked as checked, and the load carrier label is automatically printed

Restrictions for serial number requirement:

• Splitting the quantity across multiple load carriers is not possible – the fields Qty / LC and No. LC are disabled
• Only one load carrier barcode can be scanned

Validation:

When scanning a serial number, a plausibility check is performed:

• "Serial no. is already contained in Warehouse Receipt" – The serial number has already been entered in this warehouse receipt
• "Serial no. - Item already exists in inventory" – The combination of serial number and item number already exists in inventory

Menu:

1. Weights and Measures (F1) b
2. Check Load Carrier (F4) ctrl+o
3. Complete Serial Number Entry (F5) ctrl+k

Hinweis

The "Retrieve Photo" function (F6) is not available in A1.6s. An automatic completion when reaching the target quantity does not occur – the entry must be completed manually with F5.

A2 Internal Transports

Internal transports can be used to move entire load carriers from A to B. One or more load carriers can be picked up and, depending on the setting, also set down simultaneously. It is irrelevant whether transport orders exist for the load carriers or not. If a move job is present when scanning a load carrier, it is automatically displayed. If no move job exists for the scanned load carrier, one is created and a target determination is automatically carried out. If a PTU is picked up whose order has a packing team with a consolidation storage place and the matching location stored, the correct consolidation storage place is automatically determined.

In the SIEVERS WMS setup, you can configure in the load carrier section that a follow-up move job is automatically generated for move jobs to receipt locations or transfer locations.

All movement data is stored in the SNCL Stock Entries and SNCL Load Carrier Entries.

When using A2, move jobs are automatically generated, employee markings are entered there, and the start and end time of the move job are stored.

The displayed move jobs are filtered to the selected team. Filters such as move job type or storage area are already taken into account when creating the move job for team selection.

A2.0 Internal Transports

The view of page A2.0 shows both the open move jobs and the currently picked up load carriers. This split view is suitable when only a few load carriers need to be moved. As soon as the quantity becomes larger, the views A2.1 Open move jobs and A2.2 Picked up load carriers should be used.

Buttons:

• P1: Open the program menu
• F4: Change the view on the Zebra MC33 to A2.1 Open move orders and A2.2 Recorded load carriers.
• F5: Open the Internal-movements-filter

Process:

1. scan load carrier to pick it up
2. scan target location to put the load carrier down

or

1. scan of several load carriers to pick them up
2. successive drop-off of load carriers by scanning the load carriers and their destination storage places one after the other

or

1. scan several load carriers to pick them up
2. placing all load carriers in one storage place at the same time

Hinweis

If you pick up a load carrier that does not yet have a destination storage place, one is automatically found and assigned.

If you transport several load carriers at once, you will get this view on A2.0:

As you can see, All carriers on forklift / carts are now shown in the lower area. If you want to deliver the load carriers one after the other, simply scan them one after the other. If you want to deliver all load carriers at once, click on All carriers on forklift / cart. This screen will then be shown:

To place the load carriers, you must scan the new storage place. If the move order is of the type replenishment, you can also put to storage places where there is still remaining inventory of the item.

Hinweis

If you want to scan and deliver several load carriers at once, you must specify the number of load carriers required on the forklift so that the option All load carriers on the forklift is shown. See screenshot below.

The next screenshot shows a split view with open transport jobs and currently picked up load carriers.

The screenshot above shows a split view with the open transport jobs and the load carriers currently picked up.

The item transfer can be used to transfer item quantities from one load carrier to another. The difference to A2 Internal transports is that here it is not entire load carriers that are moved within the warehouse, but item quantities that change load carriers.

When A3 is used, move orders are automatically generated, employee markings entered and the start and end times of the move order stored.

As long as a reservation that points to an inventory is not split, a transfer may also be carried out.

Area A3 consists of the following parts:

• A3.1 Overview
• A3.2 Item Transfer Take Out
• A3.3 Item Transfer Put To

Hinweis

Where possible, lines are shown cumulatively by load carrier and item.

A4 Picking

This program is used to carry out order picking. It consists of three levels:

• A4.1 Picking list overview
• A4.2 Position overview
• A4.3 Position processing

Depending on whether the quantities on the SU correspond to the picking quantities, either the standard process or the alternative process is used. If the SU quantities do not correspond to the picking quantities, please proceed according to the standard process. If the picking quantities correspond exactly to the SU quantities, you can also use the faster alternative process.

The standard picking process runs as follows:

1. The picker selects an order via the picking list overview.
2. The picker scans Blanco Barcode in A4.2 item overview and creates a new PTU that can be used for picking. Alternatively, he selects an existing PTU or scans an empty reusable carrier, which is automatically converted into a PTU (see note below).
3. Picker moves to the first storage place with the load carrier into which he wants to pick.
4. If not already done, the picker selects the first item and validates whether he is picking from the correct pallet by scanning the SU barcode on A4.3 item processing.
5. The picker then confirms the quantity picked on A4.3 Position processing or enters a partial quantity.
6. Steps 3-5 are repeated until picking is complete. Now the picker enters the dimensions, weights and inventory measure via the menu

Alternative process:

If the quantity on SU corresponds to the picking quantity of a picking item, the SU can be converted into a PTU/SSCC with a 2nd scan. This shortens the process, as no Blanco Barcode has to be scanned and attached to the LT.

1. The picker selects an order via the picking list overview.
2. The picker selects an item in A4.2 Item overview and goes directly to A4.3 Item processing.
3. Now the picker scans the SU and thus validates that he is picking the correct pallet. As the picking quantity matches the current SU quantity 1:1, the correct quantity is suggested directly.
4. The picker confirms the quantity after a check.
5. Since the quantity on the SU corresponds to the picking quantity of the picking position, it can now be converted into a PTU with a second scan. This automatically generates a move order to the next best Consolidation Storage Place (from packaging, from picking team or last used Consolidation Storage Place)
6. The picker then enters the dimensions, weights and inventory measure via the menu. Once this is finished, a SSCC is created.
7. Steps 2-5 are repeated until picking is complete.

Hinweis

In picking, only PTUs or SSCCs can be used as target containers. If a reusable empty storage unit (SU) is scanned where the Chg. Load Carrier Type allowed flag is set, it is automatically converted into a PTU and can be used directly for picking.

Menus:

In A4 there are menus A and B.

A:

1. New PTU: Creates a new PTU with the selected position. Also prints a new PTU label. This is useful if only one load carrier with one position is to be generated. If the function is grayed out, the setup Create PTU/SSCC via hotkey A4, A5 is disabled in the SIEVERS WMS Team Card.
2. Dimensions and weights
3. Assign/Unload TU: Depending on whether or not you have created or selected a PTU/SSCC, you can use this function to either place the load carrier in a transfer location or pick up a load carrier in order to pick into it. If a single PTU is to be unloaded, a Consolidation storage place is suggested. If there is a consolidation storage place in the picking team, it is used. If there is none, a place is determined via the move job action Determination of Packaging Consolidation Storage Place for PTUs. In A4.2, you can also start this function by directly scanning a PTU or SSCC.
4. Order/pos - info

A4.1 Picking list overview

All orders that have been released and are therefore available for picking can be viewed on the picking list overview. The pickers can use this overview to select an order to pick. Multiple users can select a picking document at the same time. The users will be displayed separated by commas.

1: An order number can be entered here
2: Left: Shipping Agent Code | Center: First loading day and loading week from Warehouse Shipment Planning | Right: Priority
3: Order number (Green or Red) | Middle: Number of Positions | Right: Employee Marking 4: Left: Order line | Center: Customer name, city and country code | With MOP or SOP: Comment text from MOP or SOP Monitor

Hinweis

The color of the order number depends on whether it is a partial delivery or not. Green = no partial delivery, red = partial delivery.

If a i is seen in a document, there is additional information that can be accessed via F3. For MOP and SOP orders, this comment text originates from the respective monitor.

Hinweis

Please note that the shipping agent and customer information is omitted for a picking series and the picking series number is shown instead. In addition, the number of pieces picked so far and the total number of pieces in the series are shown.

A4.2 Position overview

The picking item overview can be used to estimate the scope of an order. From here, the picker can also influence the picking route himself.

1. Left: Order number (red or green) or various order number or MOP batch number | Center: Packaging team | Right: Priority/Sort number of the order
2. Left: Customer name | Right: Shipping agent | With MOP: Comment text from MOP Monitor
3. Left: Load carrier type and no. or GS1 SSCC no. | Center: Current location of the load carrier, in this case a floor conveyor vehicle | Right: Ship-to Country
4. Left: The storage place from which the items are to be picked | Right: Item no.
5. Left: Lot no. and/or sell-by date | Right: Quantity to be picked (for various orders, totaled quantity per picking team)
6. Left: Item description and Variant Code | Right: The red pallet symbol indicates that an entire load carrier is to be removed.
7. Shows the current workload. Left number: Number of open orders | Right number: Number of open positions

Hinweis

The color of the order number depends on whether it is a partial delivery or not. Green = no partial delivery, red = partial delivery.

If a i is seen in a document, there is additional information that can be accessed via F3. For MOP orders, this note text originates from the MOP Monitor.

Further functions and links can be viewed on the Zebra MC33 via the menu under P1.

To continue the picking process from here, a picked load carrier (PTU) or a shipping unit number (SSCC) is required. Scan a new Blanco Barcode or an existing PTU/SSCC that belongs to the same warehouse shipment. The system then automatically starts the function Unload PTU/SSCC, so that you can put down the load carrier at a transfer location or Consolidation Storage Place. Alternatively, you can still access the function via the menu (F8).

Hinweis

You can also pick into PTUs that are already in packaging according to the state. However, this is only possible as long as nothing has been packaged yet. If you decide to continue picking, the PTU is removed from the packaging process.

Hinweis

Please note that the shipping agent and customer information is omitted for a picking series and the picking series number is shown instead. In addition, the number of pieces picked so far and the total number of pieces in the series are shown.

A4.3 Position Processing

The item processing page is used to validate and confirm picking. Employees can also block conspicuous inventories (e.g. too low). You can find out more about this below the process description.

Depending on whether a subpackaging unit is stored in the inventory, one of two different views is shown. The regular variant, without SPU, is this one:

Fields:

1. Item no.
2. Item description
3. Left: Storage place | Right: SU no. or GS1 SSCC no.
4. Left: Lot no. and sell-by date | Right: Expected inventory in SU
5. Quantity still to be picked of the total quantity to be picked
6. Enter SU number
7. Quantity
8. Left: Order no. | Centre: Packaging team | Right: Priority
9. Left: Customers | Right: Shipping agent
10. Left: Load Carrier no. | Centre: Current Location Code | Right: Country code

If an SPU is stored in the inventory, A4.3 looks like this:

In this view, the quantity is divided into SPUs and individual pieces so that it is clear to the picker how many SPUs he should pick. In addition, the #SPU and Left fields can be used to influence the distribution.

The focus control automatically adapts to the demand quantity to avoid unnecessary input steps:

• Demand quantity > SPU quantity: The focus is initially on #SPU. After input, the cursor automatically jumps to Left, as a remaining quantity is likely required.
• Demand quantity = SPU quantity: The focus is on #SPU. After input, the cursor jumps to Quantity.
• Demand quantity < SPU quantity: The focus is directly on Quantity, as no complete SPU is being taken out.

If the storage place and inventory number are coloured red, the inventory is blocked.

If a i is seen in a document, there is additional information that can be accessed via F3.

Hinweis

Please note that the shipping agent and customer information is omitted for a picking series and the picking series number is shown instead. In addition, the number of pieces picked so far and the total number of pieces in the series are shown.

The same applies to orders that are part of a various order handling. In this case, DIV + picking document no. is shown instead of the order number and the total number of items per picking team/consolidation number, load carrier and item. In addition, the lowest priority of all included orders is shown.

Process:

1. Go to the storage place displayed and check the storage unit barcode by scanning the SU label in the SU field highlighted in blue in the screenshot.
2. At the top in the feedback area, you will now see the quantity that you need to pick. For SPU-managed items, the focus automatically jumps to the appropriate quantity field. Count and enter the picking quantity in the Quantity field or scan a GTIN barcode to reduce the displayed quantity by the quantity contained in the SPU. As soon as you confirm the Left field, the quantity is automatically filled in. If you have entered a Quantity Suggestion Mobile in the team properties, the quantity is automatically suggested.
3. Then press the enter keys to confirm the picking. The system then assigns the picked quantity to the selected PTU. If you have confirmed a partial quantity, the first line of the Outbound Stock Post is always served.

Hinweis

You can also scan a Blanco Barcode for a new PTU in the SU field. This is then automatically used as the active PTU to be picked into.

Hinweis

If inventory swaps are allowed in the WMS Setup, the appropriate quantity will not be shown in the feedback area until the inventory has been scanned.

Hinweis

Please note that the Quantity Suggestions Mobile from the SIEVERS WMS team also apply here.

Hinweis

If a shortage is found in a picking series, the system blocks the remaining stock of this inventory and searches for an alternative inventory. If no alternative inventory is found, the series is blocked and assigned the state Clarification.

Blocking inventory:

It can happen that a inventory quantity is lower than expected during the pick and the pick cannot be carried out. In this case, the picker enters a 0 for the quantity and confirms this. The system then asks whether the inventory should be blocked. If you confirm with Yes, the system locks the inventory and searches for new inventory for picking, depending on the setup. Either via Inventory swap or via cancellation and re-release of the lines (see Pick. Optimization w. Inv. blocked in the Warehouse shipment section of the SIEVERS WMS Setup). The blocked inventory is documented with the Standard blocking code from the SIEVERS WMS setup and must be manually unblocked again via Business Central. The blocking and unblocking automatically affects all associated move job lines.

A4 MOP PTU LC Assignment

This page opens after you have selected a MOP batch in A4.2. Here the assignment of picked goods to load carriers and MOP boxes takes place.

1. Input load carrier, e.g., via blanco barcode
2. Input MOP box
3. Input storage place for load carrier or MOP rack
4. Current MOP box. Remains empty when a new PTU is created for a new line or a new order. Shows the box number only after successful assignment
5. Assignment table. Column 1: Box (empty here) | Column 2: Order number Green: All positions of the order are completely picked; Black: Order not yet started (no box number assigned); Normal display: Order in process (box number assigned) | Column 3: Number of positions | Column 4: Load carrier number with prefix. P = PTU; S = SSCC. The color of the load carrier shows the processing status: Black: PTU - no further attributes required, normal packaging follows; Green: SSCC with complete attributes, ready for shipment (inventory measures, dimensions and weight are maintained); Red: SSCC with missing attributes: inventory measures, dimensions (length/width/height) or weight are missing
6. Work Indicator. Left number: Number of unfinished orders | Right number: Number of open picking positions | Colors: Green: There is something to do. Gray: There is nothing to do.

Process:

1. You have already scanned or selected the first position in A4.2 and are therefore at the correct storage place with your forklift
2. You must first create a new load carrier, as there is currently no assigned PTU. The cursor is automatically set to the order for which the PTU is needed. You have two options:
   • Scan a blanco barcode in the LC field and attach it to your desired container
   • Press F5 or select A1 New PTU in the menu to create a PTU without a blanco barcode. The PTU label will be printed automatically
3. Then scan one of the boxes of your MOP rack in the MOP Box field.
4. Now A4.3 opens. Continue here with the standard process and enter a quantity. In the bottom right of the window you see a large number. This shows the box number into which the goods must be placed. For a new line, the box number is only displayed after assignment in A4 MOP.

5. The system then opens A4 MOP LC Box Assignment again. The focus is automatically on the MOP box field, so you can scan the box directly. In the assignment table there is a new line consisting of the box number in column 1 and the PTU number in column 4. You also now see the box number again in the top left corner, into which the goods must be placed. Since this process step is particularly error-prone, the box must be confirmed by scanning the box storage place code as soon as the goods have landed in it. Once this has happened, the new line with PTU and box number is assigned to the corresponding order. The current order is marked turquoise in the assignment table, making it immediately clear which order the box confirmation is being performed for.

6. After confirming the box, the system automatically navigates to the next picking position:
   • Position with assigned PTU: A4.3 opens directly with the next position. Confirm the quantity and then the box in A4 MOP.
   • Position without assigned PTU (new order): A4 MOP opens with focus on the LC field. Create a new PTU, assign a box and pick the position in A4.3. If a box is full, you can also assign a new box after scanning a new PTU or a blanco barcode.
7. This process repeats until all positions of the MOP batch have been processed. With ESC in A4.3 you reach the position overview A4.2 to orient yourself or to choose a deviating entry point.
8. Optional: You can remove individual finished PTUs from the MOP rack during ongoing picking and bring them to packaging. As soon as a PTU is removed, its state automatically changes from 5-Picking Processing to 6-Packed Processing. Packaging can thus work in parallel to picking.
9. Once you have processed all lines, you must place the PTUs or the entire rack on a storage place or convert the PTUs to SSCCs.

• For direct conversion to an SSCC, select the load carrier in the table, open the Weights and Measures form via toolbar, menu or F1 and enter the desired inventory measure and weight. Once this is done, you can print an SSCC label via F9
• To place the entire rack at a storage place, scan the storage place in the SP LC or MOP WHV field. Please note that in this case the PTUs remain in the boxes in the system and only the rack itself is located at the new storage place. When putting down the rack, the state of all PTUs automatically changes from 5-Picking Processing to 6-Packed Processing, so that packaging can already begin while the MOP batch is still running.
• To place individual PTUs, scan the PTU in the LC field and then the storage place in the SP LC or MOP WHV field

Now you can continue with A5 Packaging.

B4 Warehouse Receipt Unloading

A warehouse receipt unloading process can be created and executed using these pages. This area is explicitly intended for employees who focus exclusively on unloading warehouse receipts. For this purpose, there are only the following pages in B4

• B4.1 Rec. Overview and
• B4.2 New Unloading/ Receipt

The pages corresponds exactly to A1.1 and A1.0. Scanning a warehouse receipt, load carrier or item in B4.1 starts the unloading process. Alternatively, you can also create a new process via menu A1. If possible, the supplier or shipping agent is already pre-filled so that only

• No of packages
• Storage place and
• Barcode

have to be filled in by the user. Otherwise, you can also manually select a supplier in B4.2 using Selection. If necessary, add photos to the warehouse receipt via F6 and create it with F5.

5. Left: Unloading place | Center: Shipping agent | Right: Number of load carriers
6. Left: Number of source documents | Center: Number of load carriers | Right: Number of items

Process:

1. Select a warehouse receipt from the overview, scan a load carrier or item, or start an empty process from the menu (item 1). This sets the arrival time of the warehouse receipt.
2. Fill in the fields in B4.2 New Unloading beginning with the No. of packages. Also scan a load carrier or a blanko barcode in the barcode field.
3. If required, add photos using F6. These are attached to the warehouse receipt.
4. Create the unloading process using F5. This populates the departure time of the warehouse receipt and sets the state to 1-Recorded.

B5 Stocktaking

A warehouse employee can use the MDE device to start stocktaking at any time. The storage places and stocks are not blocked.

Hinweis

Please note that the creation and progress of a stocktaking is only possible if the corresponding setting in the SIEVERS WMS Setup is set to active.

1. Select New process.
2. Scan a Location Code or enter a Warehouse and a Storage Shelf or a Level.
3. Enter the number of storage places to be counted now.

5. Press Create or the F5 key.

Hinweis

It is also possible to create an empty cycle counting list with the initial stocktaking type in the Business Central system and then scan the storage places you want to count one by one.

The stocktaking lines are added and the associated cycle counting list with the corresponding counting list lines is released directly for progress on the MDE.

Each storage place is now scanned individually by the stocktaking employee.

After scanning a storage place, the item page is opened:

1. Storage place
2. Left: Item with item number, description and storage unit number |Right: Uunit of measure. There is no quantity at this point, so that it cannot simply be checked during stocktaking, but must actually be counted

C1 Production Take Out

This process is used to process quantities from the warehouse for production. Here, the employee can see which move jobs are released for processing, select move jobs, and edit them.

Hinweis

Move jobs of type Transport to Production, which are created in C1, automatically receive a team assignment based on the parameters maintained in the SIEVERS WMS Teams (location, warehouse, storage area, type, move job type filter). The parameters refer to the destination of the move job. If no matching team can be determined, the assignment remains empty. These move jobs are displayed in a separate stack in the role center.

C1.1 Overview Take Out

This page shows the current move jobs released for processing with the type Production supply.

1. Left: Move job number | Right: Number of move order lines | Far right: Priority. Only the priorities High and Low are shown.
2. Left: Comment text
3. Shows the current workload. Left number: Move job headers that contain lines that are being processed with the current team. Right number: Move job lines that are to be processed with the current team.
4. Employee marking from the move job

Selecting or entering a move job opens C1.2. Scan a move job barcode in the field above or enter a number to filter the list.

C1.2 Take Out Positions Overview

Here, warehouse staff can find out how many and which move order lines the selected move order contains and process them one after the other. To do this, a load carrier (always a SU) is first scanned and then the positions are moved.

If a load carrier is already on the forklift when this page is accessed, the user receives a warning message indicating this fact. This prevents accidental packing into the wrong SU. If a PTU or SSCC is on the forklift, it must be removed.

If the pick up was successful, the load carrier can be moved to the destination. Press F8 to open menu item 7 TU park. The destination is shown here.

Alternatively, when all positions have been processed, the storage place can be scanned directly in the "Take Out Positions Overview" screen to park the load carrier.

Hinweis

If the load carrier is not parked at the destination shown, a move order is automatically generated for that destination.

1. Left: Move order number | Right: Priority (High or Low only)
2. Comment text from move order header
3. SU number
4. Left: Storage place of the position | Right: Item number
5. Left: Lot no. if required | Right: Quantity
6. Left: Item description and variant | Right: Employee marking
7. Left: Shows whether it is a full pallet | Right: Left number: Number of different load carriers in the selected move job for the selected team. Right number: Number of move job lines in the selected move job for the selected team

Hinweis

Removing the quantity remaining on a pallet and transferring it as a load carrier is not currently supported.

Hinweis

If the field Take out pos. cum. per LC & item is enabled in the SIEVERS WMS Setup, the display in C1.2 changes: All move job lines with identical storage place, item, lot, variant, sell-by date and serial number are consolidated into one line. Selection is then made exclusively by:

• Scan of the carrier number (SU) or
• Manual selection in the list

Direct scan of an inventory item is not possible in this mode.

11. Left: Load carrier number to which is being picked | Right: First number: Number of load carriers in the move job that still need to be processed. Second number: Number of move job lines that are served from the current load carrier. Colors: Green: There is something to do. Gray: There is nothing to do.

As in A4.3, the user scans the targeted load carrier or inventory and then confirms the quantity to be picked. The next position is then shown in C1.3.

Hinweis

If additional carriers are needed spontaneously during production removal, they can be created directly with F5 or via menu item B1 without having to scan a blank barcode. The prerequisite for this is the activated setup field Allow New SU without Blank Barcode.

Hinweis

It is possible to perform an inventory swap. This means that you can take a different inventory from the load carrier. The prerequisite for this is that the inventory characteristics (number of pieces, variant, lot no., sell-by date) match.

If the process needs to be interrupted, the user can stop the load carrier to be picked at any time by pressing F8 or selecting menu A7.

Hinweis

If the field Take out pos. cum. per LC & item is activated in the SIEVERS WMS Setup, C1.3 displays the cumulated total quantity of all consolidated lines. The user enters the total quantity removed. The entered quantity must not exceed the displayed total quantity. After confirming the entry, all associated individual lines are automatically posted as removed and assigned to the selected carrier (SU).
