DUTIES & RESPONSIBILITIES:
Following is an outline of the steps required in utilizing the Pallet Tag Process:
Sign On

Pallet ID Screen appears
Press the F6 key to bring up the pallet ID number. On this screen, a record is displayed of the number of cartons and units on the pallet. As a carton is scanned, a running total of cartons and units are maintained.
Now ready to begin scanning cartons for the pallet.
Scan each carton label and place carton on the pallet. Periodically check carton labels to make sure that they match what is going on the pallet and that the labels can be read and the Barcode is clear. Advise packer of any problem.
When all cartons are scanned for the pallet and placed on the pallet, Press the F9 key to print labels. Inspect Barcode on labels to make sure that it is clear and readable.

An error message appears stating that the carton is not assigned to the pallet.
The message is framed in red and produces audible ring tone.
Press the enter key to clear and check to see if that signals the need for a new pallet or mixed cartons on the conveyor.
If a new pallet is needed due to a change of pick group, pool or DC, the current pallet is completed by pressing F9 to print pallet labels. Begin new pallet.
If cartons are mixed on the conveyor, then they must be sorted and the correct cartons placed upon the pallet before beginning a new pallet.
Rule Changes

This allows for mixed categories on a pallet when needed or can restrict further what goes on a pallet. Do not change this screen without supervisory approval. To return to pallet screen, press F12.

If a carton that has been scanned onto a pallet needs to be removed from the pallet, Hold the Shift Key while pressing the F6 key and then scan carton label of the carton to be removed. This deletes the carton from the pallet.
