Note
The container wizard supports adding items from a specific lot number or serial number. Use Personalize to add these fields to the list.
Only content with the same delivery and pickup address, the same Shipping Agent (services), and the same shipping date can be added to a single container.
Close container
The container has three status codes: Open, Closed, and Loaded. Change the status manually.
When closing a container, the total theoretical weight and volume are calculated based on the net weight set for the item multiplied by the quantity. The tare weight of the container is added to the total net weight to arrive at the gross weight.
A closed container can be reopened until the transport order it is linked to is released. When a transport order is released, linked containers close automatically.
Unlink container
When the Container Worksheet is opened from an inventory put-away or pick, unlink available containers instead of removing them. The content is removed when you unlink a container.
