Packing a Single Order Tote

If you want to pack only a single tote on an order, use the Pack Tote functionality in Carton Packing Maintenance. This functionality displays only the selected tote's contents so that you do not have to search for a tote's line items in a large order.

For example, you need to pack a large order, which has been picked into three different totes. Instead of displaying the entire order on the Carton Packing screen and searching through all line items to find those specific to the tote you are packing, display only the line items for the tote you are packing.

Configure the Carton Packing option to not display the Pack Order Status automatically. Then, when you scan a Tote ID in the Order ID field, the system assumes you are simply packing the contents of that tote and displays the items and quantities in the Available To Pack pane allowing users to proceed to pack the tote into one or more cartons.

To pack a single tote on an order:

  1. From the Whse Mgt menu, select Carton Packing Maintenance to display the Carton Packing screen.

  2. Scan the order for the tote to pack.

The system displays the Order Status screen.

  1. With the tote to pack selected, use the Pack Tote hot key to display the Carton Header.

Note: Before you can begin packing a tote's contents, the tote must be staged.

  1. Enter all required header information and press Esc to return to Carton Packing.

The system creates a new carton in which to pack the tote's contents.

  1. Pack the tote following the normal order packing flow.

  1. Press Esc to save changes and exit the order.
