Packing Station Screen
When you start a packing task, the system displays a product card on the left side of the screen.
This card shows important information, including the Lot Number, Expiry Date, and Production Date of the packing task, depending on the product's settings.
Scanning Attributes
If your product requires attribute scanning during packing, the system will prompt you to scan or manually enter the Lot Number, Expiry Date, and/or Production Date after you scan the product or click on the line-based "Pack" button.
Example: If you’re packing a product with an expiry date, the system will ask you to either scan the expiry date from the product’s label or type it in manually.
Note: The "Pack All" button cannot be used if there are multiple products requiring attribute scanning that have been allocated with different attributes.
Handling Different Scenarios in Packing
Single Order in a Tote/Location:
When you scan a tote or location that contains only one order, the system automatically finds the order and displays the products with the relevant attribute fields.
You simply scan or input the required attributes, and the system will move to the next field without requiring any extra clicks.
Multiple Orders in a Tote/Location:
If there are multiple orders in the same tote or location, the system will ask you to scan the product’s SKU to find the correct order.
If the scanned SKU requires attribute scanning during packing, then the system asks for the attribute even before finding the order.
After finding the order, you’ll be prompted to enter the attributes just as you would with a single order.
Identical Orders in a Tote/Location:
In cases where there are identical orders in a location or tote (e.g., 100 orders), the system will handle attribute scanning as follows:
After scanning the location or tote, if the scanned SKU requires attribute scanning during packing, the system will ask for the attribute.
Suppose 90 orders are allocated with the same attribute (e.g., same Lot Number, Expiry Date, and/or Production Date), and 10 orders have a different attribute.
If you scan the attribute corresponding to the 90 orders, the system will display one of these 90 orders on the screen.
As you complete packing for this order, the system will notify you that there are 89 more orders with the same attribute, allowing you to continue packing these without interruption.
The system will exclude the 10 orders with different attributes from this batch.
After all 90 orders are packed and batch labels are generated, you can then proceed to pack the remaining 10 orders with the different attributes.
Validation and Error Handling
After you enter the attributes, the system will automatically check if they match what’s expected for the packing task.
If everything is correct: The packing process continues smoothly.
If there’s an error: The system will notify you with an error message, letting you know that there’s a mismatch in the attributes.
Viewing Packed Items
Once an item is packed, its details, including the Lot Number, Expiry Date, and Production Date, will appear in an “Attributes” column on the right-hand side of the screen.
This makes it easy to review the attributes for all packed items before completing the packing task.
