Packing and shipping staging locations

You can use staging locations to locate and sort portions of orders during packing and shipping. Staging locations provide visibility of the containers picked by your various operators and facilitates moving, locating, and retrieving the containers to consolidate the order. Staging locations are ideal for orders with Will Call or Ship Complete dispositions. You can scan a staging location or find out if containers have been staged for the same customer.

To set up staging locations, use the TWL Configuration-Location master record.

When you set up staging locations for packing or shipping, use any location name that does not begin with these names:

  • dock
  • bk
  • dt
  • rp

These location names are reserved for other functions.

On the RF, you can use function keys F7 and F8 to access the staging location screens. After you access the staging screens, the F7 and F8 keys are disabled.
