Introduction

In the packing section already picked items can be allocated to boxes or bags. Before using the packing process, please ensure that at least one packingContainerType is configured on the tenant.

Please go to the Products section for learning more details about packing and pack jobs. Go to the Developer Docs for more information on creating and managing pack jobs via API.

Pack items into packages

After selecting a packing task, at least one item must be selected from the list so that a new package can be created.

The newly created package is then displayed in the packing overview. Either additional items can be packed into the existing package or a new package can be created.

Unpack items

It is possible to unpack items from a package. Open the package overview, reduce the number of items that should be unpacked, and save the changes. The unpacked items will be automatically returned to the list of items that need to be packed. The unpacked items can then be packed into new packages or existing ones.

When creating a package and then removing items (setting the item count to zero), resulting in an empty package, that empty package will be deleted when the packing task is finished.

FAQs

Can I simplify the process if only one package per order is needed?

The new packing process is designed to be flexible and efficient for all use cases, including those where only one package is needed.

If you typically send out just one package per customer, you can simplify the process by selecting all items at once and creating a single package. This reduces the process to just two clicks, ensuring that it remains quick and efficient.
