Configuring packing orders

Edit online

To configure packing orders, enable appropriate resource permissions and configure Sterling Business Center rules and shortage reasons.

Applications Manager

  • Resource permissions

    Enable the following resource permissions for packing orders by using Applications Manager:

    • Pack order - ISF000025
    • Pack all - ISF000029
    • Pack TO - ISF000026

    For more information, see Administering user group permissions.

  • Bar code types

    Configure the following bar code types for your store by using Applications Manager:

    • Store Outbound Shipment. Used in the pack portlet to find the matching shipment or order. The bar code should have following sources configured:
      • Shipment. External service. The bar code validation source is YCD_Translate_BarCode_InboundShipment.
      • Order. External service. The bar code validation source is YCD_Translate_BarCode_OrderNo.
    • Item. Used to scan non-serialized and serialized products in the pack portlet and in the packing screen. The bar code should have following sources configured:
      • Item ID. The bar code validation source is Item.
      • Serial. The bar code validation source is SIM Serial.

    By default, bar code types are provided for the default organization. When you set up a new enterprise, these bar code types must be created again or copied from the Default organization. For more information, see Configuring bar codes.

  • Shipment Modification rules

    The unpack operation is governed by the status modification rules for modification type SHIPMENT_UNPACK and modification level SHIPMENT.

    For the unpack capability, you must have the shipment status as one of the statuses defined for the shipment modification rules for the modification type SHIPMENT_UNPACK. For more information about status modification rules, see Defining modification rules.

Sterling Business Center

  • Rule to pack products without first searching for orders

    Configure a rule in Sterling Business Center to allow the store associate to start packing the products without first searching for orders. Set WSC_ENABLE_ITEM_PACKING rule to Y to scan item or serial by using the scan field. Set the rule to N to scan the order or shipment number by using the scan field.

    For more information about configuring the rule, see Enabling packing without searching for orders.

  • Shortage reasons

    Configure pack shipment shortage reason codes in Sterling Business Center using System setup > Store Administration > Store Packing Rules > Pack Shipment Shortage Resolution.
