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:

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. If the target load carrier already contains one or more stock items with the same article, batch, variant and best-before date, a dialog appears asking whether the stock items should be consolidated. If you select Yes, all matching stock items are merged into a single stock item. If you select No, the load carrier is posted to the target storage place as usual.

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.

This option in the SIEVERS WMS setup specifies the number of load carriers required on the forklift for the All load carriers on the forklift option to be shown

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