Using Shippers with Configured Products
If you typically ship with containers and shippers, you can use any of the following programs to create and process shippers for configured products:
• Picklist/Pre-Shipper–Automatic (7.9.1)
• Pre-Shipper/Shipper Workbench (7.9.2)
• Pre-Shipper/Shipper Print (7.9.4)
• Pre-Shipper/Shipper Confirm (7.9.5)
You can create a pre-shipper that allocates the kit/ATO components in Picklist/Pre-Shipper–Automatic, and print an exploded list. There are some differences in the way kits and ATOs are processed:
Kits
Once you have created the pre-shipper, you can use the Pre‑Shipper/Shipper Workbench to add new component items to a Kit configuration item. When the shipper is confirmed, all allocated components are relieved.
ATOs
Once you have created the pre-shipper, you must issue the work order components. When the work order components are issued, all allocated components are relieved.
Note: If Receive F/A in WO is Yes in Configured Products Control, you can issue the ATO items directly, since the receipt was already performed in the Work Orders module.
