Pack Containers for Single Item Shipments

About this task

Based on the information scanned in the Scan Identifier field, the system first searches for shipments that have a single item and suggests the shipment with the earliest ship date that can be fulfilled. However, if multiple shipments are found with the same criteria, the system suggests the shipment that has the highest quantity. Later, the system suggests the container in which to pack the items.

The Pack Details, Items panel provides a clear snapshot of items that you need to pack into the container.

To pack containers for single item shipments:

Procedure

  1. Open the Pack Details Screen screen. For more information about opening the Pack Details Screen screen, see the section, "Navigate to the Pack Details Screen for Packing Containers".
  2. Select the pack station from the drop-down list where you want to pack the items.
  3. In Scan Identifier, enter or scan the shipment number, serial number, inventory LPN, or identifier of the item, as applicable. The system suggests the shipment to pack.
    Note:

    Problem: When you scan the identifier of a pallet or item in the Scan Identifier field, an "Task type for Pack process is not configured" error message displays.

    Cause: A task type is not configured under the "Packing" activity group.

    Resolution: Configure at least one task type under the "Packing" activity group.

    Note: When you scan the serial number, inventory LPN (single level container), or item identifier, the item details display in the Products panel, and the focus is in the Quantity field.

    If you scan an inventory LPN, the Select SKU screen displays. Select the item you want to pack. For more information about selecting the items to pack, see the section, "Capture Item Details from an Inventory LPN".

  4. Scan the item you want to pack. If the item is serial tracked, the Serial Entry screen displays where you capture the item's serial number. For more information about capturing an item's serial number, see the section, "Capturing an Item's Extended Attributes".
  5. Scan the number of items you want to add to the container:
    1. If the item is tag tracked, the Tag Entry screen displays where you capture the item's tag attributes. For more information about capturing an item's tag attributes, see the section, "Capturing an Item's Extended Attributes".
    2. If the item is time sensitive, the Expiration Date Entry screen displays where you enter the item's expiration date. For more information about capturing an item's expiration date, see the section, "Capturing an Item's Extended Attributes".
  6. Click Weigh or press Alt+W. The weight of the container displays in the Actual Weight field. You can modify the weight, if necessary.
