Step 3.3. Set Out of Sequence Parameters

Procedure

  1. Click Out of Seq.

    Out of Seq fields display at the bottom of the advanced PRT Region Configuration dialog box.

  2. Configure the Out of Sequence fields, as follows.
    Field Description
    Detainment Region ID for the region to which items will be sent when they exceed the out of sequence limit.
    OOS cycle Maximum number of items that are allowed to exit out of sequence from the region.
    OOS Action Does one of the following:
    • Selects the action to be taken when an item is out of sequence and exceeds the out of sequence limit.
    Detain Moves item to detainment region.
    Scrap Scraps (delete) item.
    Delay Detain Allows item to be in out-of-sequence condition using the OOS cycle count, and then move to the detainment region.
    Delay Scrap Allows item to be in out-of-sequence condition using the OOS cycle count, and then scrap (delete).
    Important: When the OOS cycle field is 0 with any the above options there is no tolerance in the region for out-of-sequence items.
    • Disables out-of-sequence.
    Blank (no entry)
    Disable out-of-sequence. Used if the sequence of items entering a region is not important.
    Note: The OOS cycle field should be 0 for this option.
    Note:
    • A Tracking Region may have one and only one Detainment Region.
    • Multiple regions may utilize the same Detainment Region.
    • When moving an item in either a pooled or sequential region, if it is not the first item in that region, all the items in prior locations are deleted.

    This is because an action must be chosen.
