Phase 4: Assigning product to outbound containers

When the first item for an order is being placed into a Sort Location, you must scan or input a new outbound container number for these items to create a new license plate in inventory. All subsequent sort tasks for the order are recorded into this container when you complete the sort into the sort location on screen BP07.

To assign the sorted product to an outbound container:

  1. After you confirm the sort location and quantity by specifying the applicable values into the Cfrm and Qty fields on the Sort Items BP07 screen (as described in Phase 3 above), press Enter. If this is the first time an item is being placed into a Sort Location, the Enter Drop ID (BP08) screen is displayed.
    Enter Drop ID BP08
  2. Specify the New Container ID number (outbound drop ID) into which the items are sorted.
  3. Specify or select the carton type for the selected outbound container. You can use the F2 key to select the carton type from a list of containers.
  4. After the last item is placed into the outbound container, the Order Complete message is displayed.

  5. Press Esc to exit the Order Complete screen. The Packing P4FK4 (To ID Complete) screen is displayed. The outbound container is now ready for shipment.
