Overview

The Infor WMS Warehouse Management cartonization feature makes it possible to pre-define what is to be picked into outbound cartons (totes, pallets, and so on). However, sometimes product that has been systematically estimated for placement into a carton does not fit because of user error in cube calculation. The application allows you to add a new case, tote, pallet, or carton ID during the picking process.

This feature is available with RF Task Manager Standard Picking or Task Manager Cluster Picking. It also resolves picking issues related to fit. The picker can create a new tote, pallet, and so on, or use an existing tote, pallet, and so on, from a customer order. This feature only needs to be performed for the first pick that does not fit. All remaining picks for that carton are automatically moved to the new or existing case ID.

Common examples of adding a new tote

  • A picker is selecting product for a customer order that was supposed to fit into a single tote, but the tote is full, and numerous picks remain.
  • A picker is selecting product to put into two containers and realizes that the entire amount fits in one container.
