Purpose

Perform banding operations.

Overview

Use Small Package Shipment Banding Management to track banding. For information on banding, see Banding FAQ.

Note You cannot band packages for a pick demand number until it is fully confirmed. You cannot complete a bill of lading until you band packages.

When you band packages, an incremental banding number is assigned automatically. Packages with the same banding number are banded together.

Note A small package carrier tracking number is assigned to the banded bundle when you add a package to a band.

Adding Packages

To add packages to a band:

Enter the UCC128 number, the package ID, or the SGTIN in the Pkg ID field. Repeat for all packages you want to band.

Note Generally, it is recommended to scan a carton’s bar-coded label to populate the Pkg ID field.

Click the Add Pkg button. The packages in the band display in the Packages grid.
Click the OK button in the ribbon.

Removing Packages

To remove packages from a band:

Enter the band number in the Band Number field.
Click the Add Pkg button. The packages in the band display in the Packages grid.
Select the packages you want to remove from the band.
Click the Unband button.
Click the OK button in the ribbon.
