Packing Tote Contents Without Item Verification

If packing speed is more of a concern than accuracy, you can pack all of the tote's contents without verifying each product and its quantity.

For example, you are shipping an order for 100 sink faucet handles. You pick all 100 faucet handles into Tote-12. When you pack the contents on Tote-12, use the Quick Pack functionality in Carton Packing Maintenance to pack all 100 faucet handles at once instead of verifying each faucet handle while packing. Configure the Order Status to always display. Then when you scant tote-12, the order status displays with the Tote-12 checked, allowing users to click Quick Pack. When you use the Quick Pack functionality, the system updates all quantity on the tote to packed in Carton Packing Maintenance. The system also closes all in-process records for the tote.

Note: You must be assigned the CONVERT.TOTE.TO.CARTON authorization key to use the Convert Tote functionality.

Use one of the following options when converting tote content to packed without verification:

Convert the tote directly into a carton, using the tote's ID as the carton number.

Note: This functionality is currently not available.

Create a new carton with a system-assigned UCC 128 vendor number.

Note: UCC 128 vendor numbers identify a shipment by the vendor, content, and location.

To pack a tote's contents without verifying product and quantity:

From the Whse Mgt menu, select Carton Packing to display the Carton Packing screen.
Scan or enter the order or tote to pack.

The system displays the Order Status screen.

With the tote(s) to pack selected, use the Convert Tote hot key to display the Convert Tote screen.

Note: Before you can pack a tote, it must be staged. Also, you must be assigned the CONVERT.TOTE.TO.CARTON authorization key to use the Convert Tote functionality.

Use one of the following hot keys to pack the tote:
