Entering the Container into which Cases are Packed

About this task

The Sterling WMS Mobile Application lets you scan the container which contains the cases.

The outermost container is determined based on the activity being performed and the building preferences associated with the activity.

Note:

If you are building a container, you can only select a pallet as the container
in which to pack the case scanned before. If you are over packing
a container, you can only select a case as the container in which
to over pack the other case scanned before.

To select a container which contains the cases:

Procedure

  1. In Container SCM, enter or scan the container SCM or number, if applicable.
    • If the container SCM that you scanned matches the system-suggested container SCM, the system automatically adds all scanned cases into a case. The system suggests to scan the next case, if available. For more information about scanning the case LPN, see Entering the Case LPN to Pack into the Container.
    • If you do not want to use the system-suggested container SCM, scan a new container SCM for the case. The system automatically captures the location to build the container.
  2. Choose Go in the GUI mobile terminal. if using the CUI mobile terminal, press F3. The system suggests to scan the next case LPN, if available. For more information about scanning the case LPN, see Entering the Case LPN to Pack into the Container.
