Mobile WMS Packing Stations & Printing

• Can be manually synchronized from page "Mobile WMS Packing Stations" at any time
• If no packing stations are created/synchronized the provider specific printer setup associated to the default ShipIT365 user will be used
• Packing Stations is only required for "ShipIT365 Connector" if you wish to print to different printers connected to the active providers.

Transsmart

In this example, the selected packing station will redirect to the associated Transsmart user/printer.

Done by overwriting the value in field "User Name (External)" from table "Packing Station" to same field in the "ShipIT User Setup" table.

Delivery Hub

In this example, the selected packing station will redirect to the associated Delivery hub printer.

Done by overwriting the value in fields "Ticket Username", "Workstation ID" and "Drop Zone Label Printer Key" from table "Packing Station" to same field in the "ShipIT User Setup" table.

You can find more help in the onlineguide on Configuration of Drop Zone

Note:

Only Setup-fields relevant for the active Providers is visible in the Packing Station page.

If Packing stations are used, make sure alle Mobile WMS users are also created in the ShipIT User table, if not the default ShipIT user will be used and printer selection will not work.


Mobile Groups and Mobile Menu Options

• No changes are needed to Mobile Group or Mobile Menu Option setup.

The connector changes and extends the behavior of existing menu options, but do not introduce new ones.

Mobile WMS Setup

Default value for "Transport Order Booking Action" is "Book and print".

If you need to change this behavior you can select different Booking Actions as shown below.

• Book and print = After Transport Order is created, call ShipIT 365 function "Book and print"
• Book = After Transport Order is created, call ShipIT 365 function only "Book"
• None = After Transport Order is created, do not call any additional ShipIT 365 functions.

Functional changes

When synchronized Package Types are set up in "Mobile WMS Package Setup" (see above) they become available to be selected from the 'Packing' page at the mobile device:

Other existing Package Types are still available and can be used as before (including package types created for internal logistics or synchronized from other 3^rd party connector apps). Only Package Types from the same Shipping Agent can be used for the same shipment.

When the Warehouse Shipment is posted a new "Transport Order" is automatically created, booked, and printed in the ShipIT 365 App when:

• A Package Type associated to ShipIT 365 is assigned to a License Plate in the Packing process
• The Warehouse Shipment includes unhandled License Plates (still not transferred to ShipIT 365)

Error handling
Booking and printing the Transport Order may fail in ShipIT 365 when i.e. rates for specific customers are missing. Generally, this is something to be solved in the ShipIT 365 setup.
Errors will prevent the Warehouse Shipment from being posted as well.

When setup issues have been solved, posting can be restarted from Mobile Device and a new Transport Order is created or you must manually open the Transport Order in Business Central and retry Book and Print.
