Description

Pack & Ship enhances the picking, packing, and shipping workflows in the warehouse.

It is an alternative to the existing Shipment and Tote Shipping by offering improvements to the workflows, such as:

Staging of goods between picking and packing processes
Repacking picked goods into new packages and pallets
Printing labels for package/pallet contents
Fully customizable integration to 3rd party Shipping Apps, including booking and printing shipping documents directly from the mobile device

Overview

Pack & Ship is accessed from the main menu, as shown in the screenshot.

Pack & Ship can be used stand-alone and still provide significant benefits to staging, repacking, and printing package content label reports.

However, the main goal is to allow our customers to easily connect Mobile WMS to their shipping solutions.

Enabling customers to Create and Book transports/consignments and Print the shipping labels directly from the mobile device.

Tote Picking
- Pick for multiple orders/customers and then separate the orders/customers by the Tote IDs during the pick process. A Tote is basically any entity that can be used to hold goods, i.e., boxes, railcars, pallets.
  See Tote- Picking & Shipping
License Plate
- This is a new concept in Pack & Ship and is built on top of the existing "Tote Picking" functionality in Mobile WMS.
- When totes are picked, they become a License Plate with the information about the goods inside and can be processed during packing and shipping with a single barcode scan.
- With license plates, a lot of different information can be associated with a license plate. In Pack & Ship we focus on package information.

Printing "License Plate" and "License Plate Content" require a Printing solution.

Business Central must be set up with the following:

Use of Warehouse Shipments is mandatory, meaning the “Whse. Doc. Type” on related Warehouse Pick Lines must be “Whse. Shipment”.
Only orders for the same Customer and delivery address on the same Shipment
Source Documents of type "Sales Order", "Transfer Orders" outbound, as well as "Purchase Return Orders" and "Service Orders" (from MOB5.49) can be used as sources for Warehouse Shipment for the packing and shipping processes

Note: Assemble-to-Order is supported from version MOB 5.54.
