It is enabled in Settings › Operating rules › Operations › Visible modules › RFID validation (Professional plan). Each validation is an RFID session (code RF-000123) that compares what is read against what the document expects.
Start a validation
- With a document label: in Settings › Devices › RFID portals, set the Direction (inbound or outbound) and select Open the validation when a document label is read. When the label of the shipment (
EMB-), the transfer (TR-), the pick list (PK-) or a pallet (LP-) passes, the portal opens the session by itself, and the session closes 10 seconds after the last read. - Without a pick list label: on an outbound portal, enable Identify the document without a label. Each passage of goods is a pass (code
PAS-000123) and the portal looks for its document in this order: a document label, if one was read (it always takes precedence); the only shipment Loading (or Planning) at the portal's Dock; and otherwise, the pick list or shipment the pieces read belong to. If two pick lists cross together, each has its own validation. The reads of the pass made before the document was identified also count, with the time the reader saw them. - With a manual portal: in the detail of the shipment, the receipt or the transfer order, the RFID validation panel offers Start validation with portal.
- With a handheld: from the app, Validate with RFID in the receipt of a transfer.
What you see. Operations › RFID sessions shows, live, «RFID validation · Expected 120 · Read 118 · Missing 2 · Foreign 1». Each read is classified:
- Expected: registered pieces of the document.
- Foreign: pieces reserved by another open document; «Foreign tag: belongs to TR-000031» is shown.
- Unexpected: registered pieces that belong neither to the document nor to another one.
- Unknown: unregistered tags; they are reported but do not fail the validation.
- Operational tags (
EMB-,TR-,PK-,LP-) provide context and do not count as pieces.
A tag read many times counts as a single piece.
Result. On closing: Validation approved if everything expected was read with no foreign or unexpected pieces; otherwise, Validation failed and its RFID discrepancies. With the rfid.discrepancies.resolve permission, Approve with exception asks for a reason. With the RFID validation to dispatch business rule, a shipment or transfer without an approved validation is blocked, warned or sent for approval, according to the rule's mode.
Passes without a document. If there are two shipments at the dock or only product tags were read, the portal does not guess: the pass is left To assign in Operations › RFID sessions › Portal passes, with the documents ready to leave sorted by match. A supervisor selects Assign to … (it is validated with the reads of the pass) or Discard. An unassigned pass expires after the portal's time limit and remains in the history. RFID portals › Monitoring shows each portal live and Destination verification shows the validated shipments.
A portal without a license keeps reading, but its reads are not reconciled. The validation does not move stock.
