Setting Up Ship Vias for Carton Packing

Before using Order Packing and Carton Loading, you must enable each ship via with which to use the functionality. The system determines whether orders must be processed through Order Packing and Carton Loading based on the ship via assigned to the order in Order Entry. If you add orders to a manifest that are not the same ship via as the manifest, the Carton Loading packer is not prompted to scan the actual ship via of the order to validate the load. Instead, they are prompted to scan the ship via of the manifest to load.

In addition, users cannot cancel orders assigned to ship vias enabled for Order Packing unless they are assigned the PACK.ORDER.CANCEL authorization key.

Note: For more information about editing orders packed through Order packing, see Editing Cartons.
