The system will allow users to create print batches so all shipping labels needed are printed at once and in the order received with the scanner.Before any boxes and units can be shipped, these must be received into the inventory for the Automatic billing to take place.
There are multiple users scanning inbound boxes at the same time it will be very confusing to automatically print the shipping label once a box is scanned and billed. In order to alleviate this problem the system will allow the user to create print batches so that boxes can be scanned and once the scans are complete print the batch at once.
In order to print the shipping labels of the boxes that are in a batch it's important to point out that the box must be invoiced, it's recommended to have the Automatic Billing enabled for this option.This way, when boxes are being received, they are automatically billed and added to a batch.
If the Automatic Billing is not enabled the user will need to manually invoice the boxes before printing the batch.
The Print in batches option in the scanner will print labels for invoices that are in Units by following the same process as invoices in boxes.
Instructions:
Follow the steps below:
Login into the scan gun.
Select the Receiving option.
Select option number one By Box
The user can also receive By AWB, this will show how many boxes are on the AWB and will show the user the amount of boxes scanned and those still pending. To do this process follow instructions from the Receiving Process.
Select the option "?" for More Options.
Select option letter B for New Batch.
As the image below shows the Batch #6 has been created.
Users have the option to create a new batch or to use an existing batch.
Scan the Box Code.
Once the batch is complete the user will enter the "P" letter, press the Enter key and the scanner will send all of the received boxes to the printer.
To use an existing Batch, select the "L" letter on the menu of the scan gun. This will give the user the list of batches that are active and not printed, the user can continue adding boxes.
This will then show the batches available to be used.
Labels for Units
For boxes already opened in units, the system will print a different label to the labels printed for boxes. The label will show: The Invoice #, Customer, Ship Date, Prebook #, Salesperson, Product, Quantity, Lot #. This is what the labels for units will look like:
