Carrier integration - efulfilment

VW-7084

New Feature

E-Fulfilment

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

New 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 efulfilment 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 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.
