Features

• Pack Station Logon

  For most of the transactions within the main menu for packing, you need to log on to a work center type that is specified as your packing station. Especially if you work with the functions Automatically repack HU or Automatically repack HU item, the system will consider all handling units (HUs) located at the packing station to propose destination HUs.

• Shipping HU Creation

  The creation of a single empty HU can be used as preparation for packing.

• Automatic Repacking of HU

  Packing HUs means consolidating several pick HUs into a destination HU. The system proposes the destination HU based on the consolidation group for a scanned pick HU. If all repacked HUs contain the same consolidation group, the destination HU is also assigned to that consolidation group.

• Automatic Repacking of HU Items

  Packing HU items means deconsolidating several pick HU items into destination HUs. The system proposes the destination HU based on the consolidation group of the pick TO that belongs to the scanned HU item. If all repacked HU items contain the same consolidation group, the destination HU is also assigned to that consolidation group.

• Shipping HU Creation Without Logon to Packing Station

  You can also create a new HU without logging on to a packing station. In this case, the system does not propose a packaging material or a bin. The creation of a single empty shipping HU can be used as preparation for repacking HU items or HUs.

• Manual Repacking of HU

  You can also repack HUs without logging on to a packing station. In this case, the system does not propose a destination HU. Instead, you have to enter the destination HU manually. The system still validates the consolidation group of the destination HU against the consolidation group of the pick HU.

• Manual Repacking of HU Item

  You can also repack HU items without logging on to a packing station. In this case, the system does not propose a destination HU. Instead, the user scans the destination HU. The system still validates that the consolidation group of the HU item matches the one of the destination HU

• HU Maintenance

  You can use HU maintenance to check and/or change the weight and volume of a HU, for example.

• Manual Repacking of all HU Items

  You can repack all line items for product in one step by selecting and scanning the source HU and the destination HU. You can create a new destination HU during the process, for example, to merge and move pick HUs from one shipping HU to another shipping HU.
