GT:Stage Window

Staging is the operation where the user picks the assigned inventory for the Shipping Order and stages them in an area for the loading phase of the transaction.

To stage an order

Order numbers are entered into the <Order #> field and assigned inventory is picked from the embedded result field showing each item needed to fill the order.

Enter the Order # in the Order # field, or select the order from the drop down list of orders scheduled to be staged.

Select a pallet

Select the order line to be filled, by scrolling to the embedded result set, and using the arrow keys to highlight one of the lines. Whistle will calculate a list of pallets that may be used to fill this line. The best pallet to be used, and the bin it is in, will be displayed below the result set.

If you wish to use the suggested pallet, enter the pallet # in the From field. To view alternate suggestions for pallets, press Ctrl-A while in the From field. This will bring up a list of pallets that may be used.
