Packing All or Unpacking All Items in Cartons

To pack all items into a carton:

1. On the Ship Central app, access packing by doing the following:

   1. From the Main Menu, tap Packing.

   2. On the Select Order page, tap one of the following order types: Sales Order or Transfer Order.

   The names and labels on succeeding pages depend on the order transaction that you select.

2. If you use Warehouse Management and your location has multiple bins, on the Select Bin page, do the following:

   1. If you want to change the bin filter, tap the table icon. Then, in the Bin Type filter, you can select Outbound Staging Bins, which is the default setting. Otherwise, select All Bins to also display other bin types, including Inbound Staging, Picking, and None.

   2. From the Bins list, tap the bin that contains the picked items you want to pack. Alternatively, tap Show Orders from All Displayed Bins to display orders from all the bins displayed in the list.

   Even if you select a bin, you must pack all the picked items from the same order that may be contained in other bins. Regardless of your filter, the list also includes orders for non-inventory items.

3. On the Order page, select the orders you want to pack by doing the following:

   1. If you want to change the pick status filter, tap the table icon. Then, in the Pick Status field, select one of the following options: Include Partially Picked or Exclude Partially Picked, which is the default setting.

   2. From the orders list, tap the box next to the order you want to select.

      Tip:

      To continue packing an order in a previous session, tap the order in Started pack status. Then, select other orders that may appear in the list. These orders have been previously selected for packing at the same time.

      Alternatively, in the Scan/Enter Order field, scan or enter an order associated with the items you want to pack. If you use waves or pick cartons for Warehouse Management, you can scan or enter the wave number or pick carton that contains the items. If you enter the data, press Enter Order. The order that you scan or enter is automatically selected on the table.

      To process other orders or orders within the same wave, for the same customer and shipping details, that remain on the table, do one of the following:

      Tip:

      To remove the wave filter, tap the x icon beside the wave number that appears above the table.

      • You can select, scan, or enter those that you want to pack at the same time, and then press Enter Order.

      • To select all orders in the list, tap the box on the table header, and then press Enter Order.

   3. If you have other orders for the same customer and shipping details, you can select, scan, or enter those that you want to pack at the same time. To select all of these orders, tap the box on the table header. If you enter the data, press Enter.

   4. After you select all the orders that you want to process at the same time, tap Enter Order.

   5. For orders that have items in separate bins or pick cartons, the Order Details page appears. You can view the list of bins or cartons per order. Then, tap Pack Order to continue.

   The Pack Items into Cartons page appears.

4. To add a carton, except for items that ship individually, do the following:

   1. Tap Add Carton.

   2. On the popup window, in the Scan/Enter Carton field, scan or enter the pack carton.

      Tip:

      If you can reuse existing cartons, tap Reuse Carton instead. You can search for or select any pack carton associated with a Shipped fulfillment.

      Alternatively, for autogenerated carton IDs, you can edit or change the ID. For more information, see Defining Autogenerated ID Formats.

   3. (Optional) To print or save a pack carton label, tap Print Label.

   4. Tap Add Carton.

   In the panel beside the Items Packed table, the new carton appears.

   Repeat this step to add more cartons. If you want to delete a pack carton, see Deleting a Carton.

5. Above the Items to Pack table, tap the Enable Multiselect toggle and then do the following:

   1. Tap the box next to each item or at the header.

   2. Tap Pack All.

   All quantities of the items move to the Items Packed table.

   If you want to add another carton, repeat from step 4.

6. To close a carton and enter the carton weight and size, do the following:

   Tip:

   If you want to remove all the quantities of an item before you close a carton, tap the box next to the item. Then, tap Unpack All.

   For an item that ships individually, skip this step. If you want to unpack it, tap the box next to it and then tap Delete Carton.

   1. In the panel beside the Items Packed table, tap the carton.

   2. Tap Pack Carton.

   3. (Optional) If you use package weight calculation, in the Tare Weight field, enter the tare weight of the carton.

   4. In the Carton Weight field, enter the numeric value of the carton’s weight. If you set up calculated default weights, you can edit it.

      Alternatively, if you set up your weighing scale, tap Capture Weight. If you change the unit after tapping this button, tap it again to display the converted weight value. If you use package weight calculation, the app displays the scale weight’s variance from the calculated weight in the Weight Variance field.

      For more information, see Package Weight Entry or Calculation or Weighing Scale Support.

   5. In the Carton Size field, select a predefined size or select Custom to enter the length, width, and depth.

      For more information about predefined pack carton sizes, see Creating Packing Items for Cartons and Pallets.

   6. To manually print or save a pack carton label, lists, and other documents, tap Print Label.

   7. Tap Pack Carton.

   Repeat this step to close all the open cartons. If you want to edit details or unpack items, tap Open Carton, before you repeat this step.

7. After you close all the open cartons, tap Next.

8. On the Packing Summary page, tap Print Carton List or Add to Pallet.

   If you want to print or save, be sure to do so before you transfer cartons to a pallet. Alternatively, to skip pallets, you can tap any of the other options: Mark as Shipped, Go to Shipping, or Complete Packing. These options depend on rules that you active for shipping on the app. If you use Warehouse Management, you can tap Go to Staging before you ship or complete your packing.
