Smart Relocating

The Smart Relocate  function is available in the Ipad Picking layout

It  has the following advantages over the traditional picking by location:-

1. It automatically works out the optimum route to pick requirements

2. It supports grouping of requirements from differing fulfilments to allow the picking staff to retrieve multiple items in one pass

3. It calculates and uses the smallest quantity locations so that they are cleared first when satisfying a requirement.

How to use

1. Obtain an empty trolley / pallet
   
2. Double check there are no records associated to the trolley by selecting Ipad Dashboard > All items in a  location > Scan the Trolley barcode
   
   
3. There should be no records [SKU; Job; PO or Fulfilment] recorded against the trolley - if there is - then seek advice as to whether they can be cleared or not. Do not clear them unless you are sure there will be no consequences.
   
4. Open Picking Layout on your ipad. (Ipad Dashboard > Picking)
   
5. Smart Relocate button is located in the summary header (1)  (will apply to all records in the section) or at the individual fulfilment level (2)
   
   
6. Depending on which record(s) you wish to apply it to, click the corresponding  Smart relocate button
   

7. The ipad will prompt you to scan a location  - scan the [empty] trolley barcode

8. The ipad will display the 1st requirement to pick - together with the its location and required quantity . Refer to the below screenshot for details:
   for example: -

2. If there is zero QTY click Skip
7. Mark up the label on the box to reflect what the balance is now that you have picked an amount.
