Lift system Main - Secondary

In connect:IT it is possible to implement lifts with a hierarchical system among each other. The system consists of a "Main" lift and a "Secondary" lift. The main lift assigns the travel orders for its own lift and the subordinate secondary lift. The secondary lift constantly updates the worklist assigned to it by the main system in the confirmation dialog.

Workstation selection

The main and secondary lifts are displayed in the workstation selection. Click or touch on the respective lift - Main (1), Secondary (2) - to start the application of the corresponding lift.

Functions of the main lift

The functions of the Main Lift are comparable to those of a standard lift. If you click on the navigation menu at the bottom left, you can see the various functions that are available for the Main Lift: Guided Picking, Guided Putaway, Inventory, Tray Apps. Putaway, picking and inventory can also be carried out on the Main Lift for the Secondary Lift.

You can access the lift functions directly via the quick selection.

Functions of the secondary lift

In the confirmation dialog, the transfer orders for the secondary lift that are assigned by the main lift are continuously loaded. The information in the header indicates that the lift is in the confirmation dialog. If no transfer order is available (as in the example here), the lift's worklist is empty.

Button	Function
	With the button "Record quantity" the user has the option of entering an actual quantity that differs from the target quantity. This amount is handed over to the transfer order during the confirmation and the difference is booked.
	Click "Skip order" to skip the transfer order and process the next order. If no further jobs are selected, the screen returns to the worklist.
	The "Abort" button cancels all transfer orders and the screen returns to the worklist.

Guided putaway and picking Main - Secondary

All transport orders in the worklist (1) that affect both the Main Lift and the Secondary Lift are displayed in the Main Lift under the picking transp. ord. function. The "SourceType" (2) indicates whether it is a stock removal from the Main or Secondary Lift. In this example, storage type L03 is assigned to the secondary lift. Therefore, the selected transport order should remove the material from the secondary lift. The transport order is sent to the secondary lift by "Process orders" (3). The order is completed for the Main Lift from this point on.

Button	Function
	If at least one order is selected, the "Process orders" button initiates the transfer order or orders. The user automatically jumps to the confirmation dialog.
	Using "Select/deselect all" selects all entries in the worklist or clears the selection
	The worklist is reloaded via "Refresh". The entries and the selection are also initialized.

The secondary lift reacts to the assigned transport order and moves the relevant tray to the removal opening. The tray from which the removal is to be made is now displayed in the confirmation dialog. The order details are displayed in the main field (1) and the corresponding tray is visualized (2). The buttons in the navigation bar (3) can be used to navigate through the process. The "Confirm" button confirms the removal and the transport order.

The secondary lift then returns to the confirmation dialog and loads the assigned transport orders.

Button	Function
	The "Confirm" button confirms the transport order and thus the associated transfer order/transfer order item. The next order is approached. If no further orders are selected, the screen switches back to the worklist.
	With the button "Record quantity" the user has the option of entering an actual quantity that differs from the target quantity. This amount is handed over to the transfer order during the confirmation and the difference is booked.
	Click "Skip order" to skip the transfer order and process the next order. If no further jobs are selected, the screen returns to the worklist.
	The "Abort" button cancels all transfer orders and the screen returns to the worklist.

Inventory in the Main - Secondary System

The inventory in the Main - Secondary System is carried out in the same way as the inventory of a regular lift. The inventory is initiated via the main client. Storage locations to be counted in the secondary lift are counted there.

The secondary lift reacts to the inventory position and moves the corresponding shelf to the removal opening.
