  1. Select Icon Menu > Packing > Packing By Shipment. The Packing By Shipment form is displayed.
    Note: Alternatively, you can also use List Menu.
  2. Specify this information:
    Handling Unit
    The handling unit of the packing item.
    Shipment
    The shipment to be packed.
    Order Type
    The order type on the shipment.
    Order Number
    The order number on the shipment.
    Item Number
    The item number of the packing item.
    Lot Number
    The lot number of the packing item.
    Serial Number
    The serial number of the single serial-in-inventory item. Else, the field is blank.
  3. Select Next. Using the specified information a search is performed to find associated shipment lines that need to be packed. If multiple shipment lines are found, a list of shipment lines is displayed.
  4. Select a shipment line to pack from the list.
    • If the handling unit contains other handling units, the parent handling unit number, shipment number, and package definition are displayed along with a list of all the child handling units that need be packed. Select a child handling unit to pack.
    • If the handling unit does not contain other handling units, you must select a handling unit to be packed. For example, if you are packing a pallet (parent handling unit) containing five boxes (child handling units) of items, you must pack the five boxes, individually using the below steps before packing the pallet. However, when packing a pallet (only handling unit) holding items that are not contained in separate boxes assigned to handling units, you can pack the pallet without packing other handling units first.
  5. Specify or review this information:

    The parent of the handling unit that is to be packed.

    Note:  This field is displayed if the Confirm? field is set Yes.
  6. Click Process. If there are additional handling units that must be packed as part of the package structure for this shipment line, select another handling unit to pack. If there is only one additional handling unit left to pack, it is automatically selected.

    All confirmed handling units on the shipment line are packed. The broken handling units for re-packing are removed from the shipment line, and placeholder handling units are created to account for the item quantity. Package labels for all packed handling units are printed.
