Restricted Packing Criteria

You can enforce restrictions when packing items from multiple orders into a consolidation shipment. These restrictions refer to attributes on the order header that must match attributes on the consolidation shipment header before items from the order can be added to the consolidation shipment.

Use the system value key PACKING_RESTRICTION_CRITERIA to configure packing restrictions. This system value displays a list, in CSV format, of the orders and consolidation shipment attributes that must be equal before you can load order lines and append them to the consolidation shipment. By default, no restriction criteria are applied. The attributes you can specify using PACKING_RESTRICTION_CRITERIA are listed in PACKING_RESTRICTION_CRITERIA Attributes.

The Web browser maintains stateless session information for the configured packing restriction attributes. The session information for the configured restricted packing criteria is set when you load the first order or consolidation shipment. Any additional order or consolidation shipment you load must match the restricted packing criteria of the session.

When no order lines are available in the Items to be Packed list and you choose to load a fresh consolidation shipment or create a new one, you can reset session restricted packing criteria. When you load a fresh consolidation shipment, the session restriction criteria are set based on the consolidation shipment attributes. When you create a new shipment, the session restriction criteria are cleared and reset based on the first order that is loaded.
