Send to Warehouse shipment
Properly creating tasks for receiving goods is a crucial aspect of warehouse management. It not only ensures accuracy but also enhances warehouse operational efficiency. Proper shipment preparation guarantees that each batch of goods will be received at the warehouse with maximum precision. Our detailed guide provides you with step-by-step instructions, ensuring seamless execution of all warehouse operations..
Creating a Shipment with Send to Warehouse Type
Adding Products to Warehouse Shipment
Products can be added to the created shipment individually or by importing a spreadsheet. Let's explore both methods.
Adding Products to the Shipment Individually
7.To specify the quantity of the product, select the Unit option in the Measure section. This indicates that the product will be stored in the warehouse individually. Fill in the Qty field to indicate the number of units to be received in the warehouse. Also, specify the service for receiving the product in the warehouse. To add the product to the shipment, click on Add.
Adding Masterboxes to Warehouse Shipment
A Masterbox is a pre-packed box containing a specific quantity of items of a single SKU. These boxes are prepared in advance for convenient storage and transportation. Masterboxes streamline packing, storage, and product delivery processes, ensuring efficiency and convenience in logistics operations.
8. To specify the quantity of prepared boxes (Masterboxes) select the box attribute in the measure field. In the Units per box field, indicate the quantity of items in one box. In the Qty field, specify the number of boxes with items. Click Add to include the indicated quantity of boxes with items in the shipment.
Adding Items to the Shipment Using Table Import
10. Save the downloaded file and open it using a document editor. Specify the SKU/FNSKU/ID or SUP_NUM parameter in the columns where the system needs to locate the required items. To enable the system to locate the item based on these parameters, it is not necessary to provide all of them. Enter the value corresponding to the SKU, FNSKU, item identifier, or supplier number in the respective column.
11. In the Measure column, set the value to Units for shipping by individual units and Box for shipping by master boxes. Use Units for individual items. For prepared boxes of items (master boxes), use the attribute Box. To specify the quantity of units or master boxes to be shipped to the warehouse, enter the data in the QTY column. If you are using the shipment of prepared boxes of items (master boxes), enter the value in the UNITS_IN_BOX column, which determines the quantity of items in one box. To add an expiration date for the product, enter the expiration date value in the EXPIRATION_DATE column in the format year-month-day. If the product does not have an expiration date, leave the EXPIRATION_DATE column empty.
Adding Tracking and Packing List Numbers
13. Providing the tracking number and packing list number allows the warehouse to accurately identify the shipment in the system. This reduces the processing time for receiving goods at the warehouse in the absence of other shipment details
Transfering Shipment Details to the Prep Center
Transfering shipment details to the Prep Center is crucial. Failure to do so means the warehouse won't locate the shipment in WMS, causing processing delays and potentially incurring additional costs for Prep Center services.
