I'm scheduled for the return scan this Thursday. It'll be my first time doing it (surprising since I'm the TNT guy). Anyway, I'm curious about the process. I had another TL walk me through the actions and it seems pretty straight-forward, albeit tedious.
What I gather from my quick walk through; the process seems to act as a LOCU/STOW action. You scan the waco location (this starts the LOCU action), then scan the items and tell the system how many items are visible in that waco location. The system responds with a requested amount (this starts the STOW action) and the remaining quantity is added back to the waco location. I've been told about opening/closing cartons and that if I scan items outside of the waco, the system will assume they were in that waco unlocated. I was also told that if I leave the application, it will automatically close a carton.
What I'm curious about is if this process also corrects any ghost items NOT scanned. Would it be better to just LOCU before scanning to eliminate any possible ghosts? Will the system tell me if I miss anything?
If you have any pro-tips or have developed a process that streamlines the work, feel free to share those too.
Thanks!
