You set up pack statuses using the domain lookup PACK_STATUS. By default, there are three pack statuses:

These pack statuses have no hard-coded meaning. You can delete, modify, or add them during configuration. After you configure the pack statuses, you must define the statuses for which a pack is considered unlocked. To do this, use the system value UNLOCKED_PACK_STATUS_LIST. You can only update a pack if it is not assigned a locked status. You can configure a pack status to be locked for one user and unlocked for another.

The system value ACTIVE_PACK_STATUS_LIST allows you to create a list of pack statuses for which a pack is considered active or requiring processing. On the Items to be Packed panel, use Filter By Active Packs to identify packs on a shipment requiring user action.

You can configure the shipment-level workflow task buttons to run only when all packs on the shipment have specific pack statuses. Configure this separately for each button.

You can also configure the pack-level workflow task buttons as available, depending on the status of the selected pack. Configure this separately for each button.
