With the parcel workstation, you can pack and order and process a shipment in a simple user interface. A warehouse worker can easily use this interface to package shipments.
The workstation page does not include a way select a carrier, service, routing, and accessorials: it is only focused on packing and shipping.
Workstations are available for Parcel but LTL workstations are not currently supported.
Getting Started
As a warehouse worker, you work from a streamlined page for your Workstation, which you can access after scanning an order number.
Packing Boxes (or Packages)
As a warehouse worker, to pack boxes or packages at a Workstation with a Workflow for packing boxes or packages:
From the Workstation screen, scan or enter the identifier for a proposed shipment. This identifier can be an order number, an LPN (License Plate Number, which is a unique barcode or RFID identifier for a handling unit ), or Tote number (a container identifier).
The screen shows the proposed shipment items in ITEMS and the packing details in PACKAGES.
In ITEMS, you can pack the items individually by clicking PACK, or pack them all at once by clicking PACK ALL. For PACK, initially it packs one item. From the MULTIPLE QUANTITY pop-up screen, you can pack more than one at a time. You can scan items or enter the quantity on the pop-up screen. You can scan one and then update the quantity manually to reduce the number of times you have to scan an item. When ready, click DONE.
In PACKAGES, you have the following optional settings:From Materials, select the type of materials from the drop-down (default is none).
In Length, Width, and Height, specify the dimensions of the package. In Weight, specify the weight of the package. Click the Scales icon to get the weight information directly from the scale at the workstation.
Items in the package are listed under ITEMS IN PACKAGE. Identify the items in the package: scan them or select SKU or UPC.
When done packing, click CLOSE PACKAGE.
Directly Book Shipments and Print Shipping Labels
Once the package is ready, you can book shipments and print shipping labels directly from the packing workflow rather than having to book shipments from the Order Details page:
Click the FINISH button in the lower right corner of the screen.
A window will briefly display “BOOKING SHIPMENT” and then “SHIPMENT IS BOOKED.”
