    System. | 
  |  | An output file from manufacturing system or a
    procurement process can establish the stock transfer request record or it may be initiated
    via clerical entry. | 
  |  | The stock transfer request record is used as the basis
    for picking a trip to be transferred to a warehouse. The picking routine is normally run
    on a handheld data collection/scanning device running in RF mode(batch facilities are also
    available). | 
  |  | Upon arrival at the warehouse, an RF based routine
    utilizing a hand held data collection/scanning device controls the product storage
    process(inventory is automatically updated as a function of this process). | 
  |  | RF based picking & packing routines control the
    generation of shipments by trip(inventory is also automatically updated as a function of
    this process). | 
  |  | An RF based control routine run on a portable
    data   collection/scanner unit controls the loading of vehicles. |
