Packing Non-Serialized Loose Items into a Picked Pack
Occasionally, you may need to pack more non-serialized loose inventory into a pack that was previously picked for a pre-shipper. By adding to an already picked pack that holds either serialized inventory or non-serialized inventory, you eliminate the need to build more packs for additional content.
Unit pack and assembly pack are supported.
You use Pre-Shipper/Shipper Pack Build (7.8.2) to enter the loose items to the pack attached to a pre-shipper/shipper.
When you enter a picked pack, and the system prompts you to remove it from the pre‑shipper/shipper, specify No to pack more items to the picked pack. You enter the items to be added in the Child Data frame. For non-serialized loose inventory, leave the Child Data frame’s Serial ID field blank; then enter item, site, location, lot/serial, and reference.
When the parent pack is booked for a sales order line, the non-serialized loose inventory must be the same as the item in the parent pack.
For non-serialized loose inventory, the system defaults the SO (or customer scheduled) order line when the child serial ID is blank and the system verifies that the pending picked inventory is in the pre-shipper/shipper, and matches the item. The SO line must:
• Have the same ship-from/ship-to as the pre-shipper/shipper
• Have the same item as the entered loose item
• Be effective and not closed
The system verifies that there is enough inventory for the entered item, quantity, and validates other entered data.
The system records pick information in detailed tables at the picked-pack levels.
When the site or location of the loose inventory is not the same as that of the parent serial, the system:
• Displays a warning
• Transfers the loose inventory to the site and location of parent pack
• Validates the single item/single lot option of the pack
