Carrier integration - efulfillment

VW-7084

New Feature

E-

Fullfillment

Fulfillment

Parcel carrier submission can now be done after the pick when a more accurate number of labels can then be retrieved. 

New efullfilment efulfilment screen designed to be used on a touchscreen has been created for this which also allows additional sundries to be added to the order, with the added ability to use barcode scanning of sundries. [You can use this for packaging, delivery charges or additions]

The following key features have been added :

  • Ability to obtain the carrier labels after picking at the final stage

  • Provide a touch responsive screen for the final confirmation allowing the parcel carrier label to be obtained, the pick confirmation to be completed and the recording of addition sundry charges potentially through barcode scanning

The ability to scan a carton which arrives at the final staging position, utilising the pick uid from the carton where the Pick UID label is added by the picker. [pick labels are available through flex]

The user is presented with the efullfilment efulfillment form, allowing them to confirm the quantity for the consignments, obtain and print labels, this then performs the pick confirmation.

Whilst performing the pick confirmation the system could be printing other documents required such as special gift messages, tasting notes, customer paperwork etc.

Prior to finishing the order fullfillment fulfilment the ability to enter sundry charges through the screen or by scanning a pre-printed list of sundry items which are then charged to the customer as part of their goods out charges.

Issue

6.8.6

# When entering a contact on the booking, despite selecting the company all contacts are shown and not just the contact for the transporter you just selected, it does not seem to filter after you save a new transporter.
# When booking if you select slot it comes up with a 1 ?  only when you select the warehouse  will it then set the slot. Surely this should be setting when the first PO is added, and it can then be altered by the user.
# If I edit the booking it deletes the transport  / transport contact information
# Awaiting Arrival is not showing the transporter despite this being on the booking.
# Awaiting arrival is not showing the warehouse the customer is normally located in.
# Awaiting arrival is not showing the slot the customer uses which is essentially which door set to use.
# Awaiting arrival is not showing that the booking was made with slip sheets selected as true.  This then appeared after editing the record.
# Awaiting arrival is showing the line expected quantity however on the example a further 250 cases were booked in, this is not showing so warehouse have no idea to expect a discrepancy.
# No Resurces Resources is being set but I have no idea where this is coming from is this taking the resource minutes and booking time ?
# Awaiting arrival shows expected p/c/s but completely overlooks the booking pallets / cases which can sometimes be vastly different to the pre-advice shoudl should we not show both.
# Warehouse Receipts - Arrived Tab - we still need to change this to CPP / SPC / Size
