|
Banding is only functional for banded shippers, and the shipper must have been assigned during the pick demand create/print process. |
Shippers are designated as banded in Shipper Maintenance. |
|
Products can be picked using Wireless Warehouse functionality or paper pick demands. The confirmation process for a banded shipper cannot be completed from a Wireless Warehouse perspective until the final pack process is done. For more information, see Wireless Warehouse Overview. |
All related pick demands are designated as on inventory adjust hold until the banding process is completed in Small Package Shipment Banding Management. |
|
All cartons for the current order being banded must be done before starting banding for another order. |
Select the Band Warning during Confirm check box in Shipper Maintenance to give users a warning if this happens. |
|
Banding cannot be used for cartons that have products from more than one order. |
Only cartons that have the same order can be banded together. |
|
Banding cannot be used for customers that are set up to not use banding. |
This can be set up by selecting the No Banding check box on the Options tab in Customer Maintenance. |
|
During pick confirmation, if the shipper changes to one that is not banded, banding does not occur. |
Be careful when changing shippers. |
