PULPO WMS functionality allows to pre-fetch labels in batch pickings. This allows the user to have the labels ready by the time a picking is over and clearly identify and sort out the orders with the label generation issues.
Enabling the setting
To activate the setting, the user has to activate turbo labels in the Settings / Outgoing / Orders and picking
Option functionality
To create a batch picking, the user needs to filter out sales orders by QUEUE state, select several orders and click on PICKING.
There the user has to select the "Batch pickings" tab and select the number of sales orders to be picked.
While creating the batch pickings there and have 2 additional options:
Create shipping labels before picking
Create a picking task only for the orders with labels (dependent on option 1)
Option 1 allows creating shipping labels before the start of the picking. Please note: This will create one shipping label per single unit of product contained in a sales order.
Option 2 allows including in the picking task only the sales orders that actually received a label. All other sales orders will not be included in the picking task and will automatically be set to the sales order state “PAUSED”.
After clicking on Create Pickings, the system will generate shipping labels. Please be patient, the process can take some time to finish.
The packing task is also created and gets into the state “Draft”
If the 2nd option is disabled, the picking task will be created, even though some labels are missing. The information will be provided in the results table.
If the 2nd option is enabled, and there is an error in the label creation, the picking task is created but only with the sales orders that received all labels for all products.
When the process is over, the system will return the list of the orders for which the picking(s) were successfully created. All other sales orders will not be included in the picking task and will automatically be set to the state “PAUSED”.
Finish early cases
Picking Order is finished early with at least one sales order picked completely:
completed sales order packing task is released
Other packing tasks stay locked
pickings are created for the remaining items of sales orders (one picking per sales order)
Picking Order is finished early with multiple sales orders picked completely:
completed sales order packing tasks brought to the queue
Other packings stay locked
pickings are created for the remaining items of sales orders (one picking per sales order)
Picking Order is deleted:
sales orders go back to QUEUE.
When the user finishes picking and scans the packing position, the label will already be generated and can be printed immediately.
