Technical question. Under what circumstances will hitting "Item Not Found" cause a new pick location to pop up? (the location that pops up is always a backroom location)

I have seen this happen, and it can cause situations where a team member searches the backroom because they don't want to hit "INF" and wastes extra time. Normally, you see "Next Location" and only see "INF" as an option when all the "Next Location" has been exhausted, but sometimes a new location pops up anyway.

I thought item not found only happens after you scan the backroom location already.

In the past month or so, the system has been frequently sending us to the sales floor for items that are located in the backroom, and it never makes sense, not even from a pathing perspective.

Same. Also have been doing a lot of backtracking to areas that should have already been finished with if the pathing was correct.

Is your backroom grouping correct? It should only send you to the sales floor first if the items in the backroom are only located in upper shelves or receiving/remote.

Supposed to happen like this yeah. I'm wondering if it's a bug or something set up wrong. It doesn't always happen, but there are strange things sometimes.

Has anyone been piloting the new label format aisle layout for OPU hold? Wondering how they look.

 

[NotCynicalYet]

Speaking of labels, they've now changed twice in the last year and while the newest labels' barcodes actually work now, the stickers still bunch up badly in our old printers. Anybody a wiz at dealing with these things?

I don't know when it was added, but today I discovered we now have the ability to Underpick an item in its location and save the remaining needed eaches of that item for the end of the batch instead of automatically INFing them. Good dog, Bullseye--have a treat.

Added maybe a month ago.
