Packing Picked or Active Serialized Loose Items to Picked Pack
To keep from building more packs for picked serialized items, you can pack the following into a pack that was already started (picked) for a pre-shipper:
• Picked serialized loose item
• Active serialized loose items
The picked pack can hold serialized or non-serialized items. Both unit packs and assembly packs are supported.
You use Pre-Shipper/Shipper Pack Build (7.8.2) to enter the picked or active serialized loose items to the pack attached to a pre-shipper/shipper. When you enter a picked pack, 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 serialized picked or active loose items in the Child Data frame in the Child Serial ID field. The following conditions are required to exist:
• The stage is picked or active for the item serial ID.
• When the parent serial ID is booked for a master SO (or customer scheduled order) line, the child serial ID is booked for the same SO line.
• When the parent serial ID is not booked, the child serial ID cannot be booked.
• The SO line is not closed, and must have the same ship-from/ship-to with pre-shipper/shipper and the same item as the item for which you enter a serial ID.
For active item serial IDs, the system defaults the SO line based on the following rule:
• When the child serial ID is already booked for an SO line and the SO line ship-from/ship-to matches the pre-shipper/shipper, the system displays the booked SO line.
• When the child serial ID is already booked for an SO line, but the ship-from/ship-to does not match the pre-shipper/shipper, the system checks other SO lines for the same sold-to, purchase order, or item for the master SO line. When one SO line matches with the pre-shipper/shipper, the system displays the matched SO line.
• When the child serial ID is not booked for any SO line, the system checks whether there are pending pick lines in the pre-shipper/shipper. When pending pick lines exist, the system finds the first SO line with the same item as the entered serial ID and displays the SO line. The system defaults the quantity to pack to 1.
You add picked or active item serial IDs to the parent pack. The system records pack data in Pack Build Serial History. When the site/location of the child serial ID is not the same as the site/location of the parent serial ID, the system:
• Displays a warning
• Transfers the child serial ID to the site and location of the parent pack
• Considers the transferred item serial IDs with print data when you specify to print labels
• Validates the single item/single lot option of the pack and changes allocation detail
• Records picking information at the content level
To determine how many more items are needed, you can view the currently packed quantity of loose items that you already picked in the same parent.
