Packing configuration

Introduction

In the packing configuration users can define:

• the scanning type for pack line items

• if packing containers are required

• if pack line items need a confirmation

• if packing source containers are used

Please go to the Developer Docs for more information on the packing configuration. A packing REST API documentation is available too.

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.

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 configuration 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 configuration activates the need to check 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 configuration enables the creation of packing source containers. Packing source containers contain one ore more items for a pack job. This 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.
