New feature
This section describes the new feature that is available in this production update.
Load staging
Facilities can now dynamically assign multiple small stage locations to orders based on the number of expected pallets for each order and the pallet capacity of each stage location. One or more stage locations can be assigned to each load and stop.
Use the new Load Staging page located under to configure and manage the staging location assignments. On this page, you can maintain the list of staging locations and remove the assigned load from a staging location. Stage locations are released from the load when the load is closed or shipped.
On the Wave and Load pages, these processes have
been added to handle load staging:
- Ability to calculate the number of estimated pallets for each order, stop, and load
- Select a group of consecutive stage locations with sufficient capacity to handle the total estimated pallets for the load
- Reserve the locations for the load and stops
In addition to the Load Staging page, these enhancements have been
made for the load staging functionality:
- Load Staging Pallet Conversion field added to the Cartonization page under
- Max Pallets Per Stage field added to the Configuration page under
- and options added to the menu on the Wave Maintenance Detail page
- and options added to the menu on the Load Maintenance Detail page
- Load Staging First and Load Staging Last columns added as hidden columns to
these list views:

- Shipment Order on the Shipment Order page
- Load Staging First, Load Staging Last, and Load Staging Range fields can be added through user customization to
these RF screens:
