Individual Configurations
Scanning Type
The scanning type defines whether a physical scan of the code of all pack line items is required in order to finish a pack job or not.
The available options are: SCAN_NOT_REQUIRED
or MUST_SCAN_EACH
.
SCAN_NOT_REQUIRED
: a scan is not needed
MUST_SCAN_EACH
: each pack line item has to be scanned
Packing Container Required
This flag enables the search for pack jobs via the scanned code of load units.
If set to true
, the search is available in the pack job screen, if set to false
, the search is not available
Packing Item Confirmation Needed
This flag activates the need to check off each pack line item within a pack job in order to finish a pack job.
If set to true
, each pick line item needs to be checked off, if set to false
, checking off is not needed in order to finish a pack job.
This config will have no effect when Scanning Type is set to MUST_SCAN_EACH
. In this case scanning each pack line item is mandatory in order to finish a pack job.
Packing Source Container Configuration
This flag enables the creation of packing source container. Packing source containers are entities that contain one ore more items for a pack job. These entities can be, for example, a load unit.
If set to true
, packing source container are created from existing load units when a pack job is created from a pick job. If set to false
, packing source container are not created as explained in the previous sentence.
