This screen allows the user to build mixed pallets or add additional items to an old pallet by adding items from inventory (i.e. items without a tracking number). Whistle will generate a new tracking number for the container/pallet that will allow it to be tracked by the system. To perform an inventory to pallet transfer:

Select (1) From Inventory from the ‘Pallets’ menu, or Build Pallet from the Main menu.

You must next enter the Item-Pack that you are looking for. You may do this in either of two ways:


Enter the Product # that you are interested in picking. The Item # and Pack # will automatically be filled in.

or...


Enter both the Item # and the Pack # that you would like to pick. Combined, these two numbers form the Product #. The product # will automatically be filled in after entering the Item and Pack #s.


Whistle will search your ERP system’s database for this item. If you entered the number correctly and it is indeed an item in your ERP system records, Whistle will load the item information into the pallet transfer screen.

Type the Lot # and Pull Date for the new item(s).

NOTE
If you are using ERP Lots, Whistle will only allow you to enter an ERP Lot # that exists for the item in question (if the setting for this option is set). If you want to enter a different Lot #, Whistle will allow you to “create” that Lot # for that item in the ERP.

Press "Enter" to create this lot.


Enter the Track # of the container you are transferring the items to. You can enter the tracking number in three different ways:

1. Skip the tracking # field if you would like Whistle to choose a tracking # for you.

2. If you know the tracking #, type it in. Whistle will check that the track # you entered exists. If it does, Whistle will prompt you for a destination Bin #. If you entered a new tracking number, Whistle will ask you if you would like to create this tracking number.

Select "<Yes>" to proceed. Select "<No>" to change the tracking number.


3. You may perform a Find Inventory transaction to locate a specific tracking #. Press "<Ctrl>" and "<A>" to enter the inventory query screen.


NOTE! You may view the container details of a specific tracking number by pressing "<Ctrl>" and "<A>" while the cursor is positioned in the Dest. Track # field.

Enter the destination Bin #. Enter the Unit of Measure of the Item(s) you want to transfer. Enter the quantity (in the uom’s you specified) of the item you wish to move.

Select "<OK>" once you have entered all the data correctly.


Whistle will display the following message:

NOTE
Depending upon your set up, if you enter a quantity greater than the amount that will fit on a single pallet, Whistle may ask if you want to build multiple pallets of this item. Or, it may just put up a message informing you of the pallet quantity.

Whistle will display the following message if the transaction was executed correctly:

Select "<OK>" to clear this message. Whistle will return to the transfer screen. It will be ready to continue transferring the item in question. If you would like to transfer another Whistle tracked item, enter a new item #. If you would like to exit the pallet transfer function, select "<Cancel>" or press “Esc”.
