Locator Alias

Many a times, your temporary warehouse operators may not really complete the task physically but completes their corresponding task in RF Gun. Some smart workers go to the next extent of picking the required part from a nearby location rather than picking it from the original location suggested by the RF Device as the location that is suggested by the system seems to be difficult to reach(say upper rack, too far from user's current location etc.). This leads to a discrepancy between the physical onhand and the quantities in the system. The shipments/assembly manufacturing gets delayed as all the parts are not available on time. Locator aliases ensure the presence of a user at the physical location. You can use a barcode to represent the locator alias. This ensures that when the alias is scanned, a user must be present at the physical location. A locator alias is an alternative identifier that corresponds to a physical locator. It can be a check digit, a unique identifier, or a non-unique identifier. For example, you can use '13LA1.1.1' as the locator alias for the locator LA1.1.1. The system does not suggest a locator alias to you during a transaction, rather it suggests the actual locator.
