Shipping Container Marking Settings for Movement of Inventory for Packing

The relationship between Shipping Container Marking (SCM) settings and movement of inventory to Ship Sort / Pack Location is illustrated in the following table:

Table 1. Inventory Movement to Ship Sort Location

SCM not required Ship Sort Location Ship Sort Location In this strategy user has picked the inventory.

Ship Sort Location is suggested as Deposit location. Inventory is also moved to Ship Sort Location.

SCM required without content Pack Location Ship Sort Location In this strategy user has picked the inventory, where Task Type is 'Picking into Equipment'.

Pack Location is suggested as Deposit location. Inventory is physically present at the Pack Location but according to the system it is present in the Ship Sort Location.

SCM required without content Ship Sort Location Ship Sort Location In this strategy user has picked the inventory, where Task Type is 'Picking into Inventory case or pallet’.

Ship Sort Location is suggested as Deposit location. Inventory is moved to Ship Sort Location.

The above mentioned relationship is independent of ‘Pack While Picking’ settings. When ‘Pack While Picking’ is set to YES, and the above options are exhausted, the action taken is in accordance with the Container Routing set up under the Container Pipeline. The order of action undertaken is Next Action Location, Carrier Sort Location, Ship Sort Location, Source Drop Off, and User Override.
