It is possible to add documents that are relevant in the operational process, for example, while picking or packing.
Available document types are:
Shipping label
Return label
Delivery note
Return note
External documents
It is possible to add different documents to different orders, pick jobs, pack jobs, etc.
For adding external documents to the order process, please visit external documents page.
Please go to the for more information on handling printing and document configurations via API.
A delivery and return note contains items of the corresponding picking task and carry additional information about the picked amount of each item. Both documents can be created on demand in the app.
External documents are documents which are not created within the fulfillmenttools system, such as invoices or individual coupons which are created in external systems. Those documents can be easily integrated into the printing process, so that a workers is able to print external documents within the fulfillment process with the app.
If the user decides to pick the task first she has the option to directly order a label for this task at the end of picking. While requesting a label, a return-label is requested as well which is then attached to the normal label.
Limitations
In order to create shipping or return labels, a carrier connection is required. When Batch Picking is activated, printing within the picking process is not possible
It is up to the user, if the same documents should be used for each pick job / pack job or if the configuration should be more more detailed using via tags. Tags can be helpful to handle pick jobs and pack jobs differently. For example, marketplace orders may need other documents than orders from the company's own store.
Configure the “SENDLABEL” in the pick job. The picker can now start the pick job, click on the print button, print the label and do the following process steps.
Configure the “DELIVERYNOTE” in the pack job. Then it is only shown when clicking the print button in the pack job / packing process.
