Collective transfer in the warehouse app
Pick up goods from several bins with a cart, pallet or container and distribute them to target bins – or transfer the entire carrier with one scan.
Under Internal → Collective transfer you move a lot of goods in one go: you load them from several bins onto a carrier (cart, pallet, container) and then distribute them to the target bins. While the goods are on the carrier, they are booked there – so you can always see what is where.
Booking requires the permission Collective transfer with a carrier and transfer an entire carrier. Without it you can view carriers but not load anything. To Retire a carrier you need Create, label and retire carriers (trolleys, pallets, containers).
Step by step
- Tap Collective transfer and scan the carrier (label of the cart, pallet or container). Alternatively, choose it under All carriers.
- You see the carrier's contents. Now:
- Scan a bin = pick up
- Scan or tap an item = distribute
Picking up
- Scan the source bin.
- Scan the item or tap it.
- Enter the Quantity. For batch items, choose the Batch – the default is Automatic by FEFO (earliest best-before date first); expired or blocked batches are marked.
- Tap Load onto …. If there is still something on the bin, you stay there; otherwise tap Done with ….
Distributing
- On the start page, scan an item that is on the carrier (or tap it).
- Confirm the quantity, then Continue to target bin.
- Scan the target bin – the app shows a put-away suggestion.
Everything to one bin
With Transfer whole cart / Transfer whole pallet / Transfer whole container and one scan of the target bin, you move the entire content to one bin.
Further buttons: Print label (storage bin label of the carrier), Other carrier and – when the carrier is empty – Retire. A retired carrier can no longer be scanned; its bookings are kept.
Scanning
- Items via item number or EAN/GTIN, also from GS1 codes.
- A carrier is a bin of the type "mobile" – normal shelf bins are rejected in the first step.
Common errors
| Message | Solution |
|---|---|
| "… is not a carrier. Please scan a cart, pallet or container." | Scan the carrier's label, not that of a shelf bin. You create new carriers under Carriers. |
| "… is the carrier itself." | Scan a shelf bin as the source. |
| "There is nothing to pick up on …." | Scan a different bin. |
| Note Stock has been on it for a long time | Goods have been on the carrier for over 4 h – nothing is picked from there. Please distribute them. |
