Shipping (Accounts)

The Shipping page of the Accounts module has eight sections.

General

• Barcode Scanning - Enable this to use RF guns. Check this box if the system is set for Manual allocation (Accounts > General Properties).

• Barcode Scanning Style - Decide how to receive: by SSCC, line level on the order, Manual ILS, or UPC Lookup. Click here to learn how to enable an account for SSCC shipping.

• Ship Actual Transaction Date/Time Equals Actual Date/Time - Takes the actual location time when the DVU user changed the order stats to SHIPPED.

• Default Picking/Shipping Pallet CF/CM - Set the maximum volume (cubic feet) for a pallet.

• Auto Generate Order Number - If enabled, Davinci automatically creates the order number (if not specified) when the user saves a shipping order.

• Shipping Label Template - Placeholder for a template at the Document level.

• Shipping Order Sequence - Enter a user-defined sequence when generating the shipping order number. Required if a DVU user enables the auto-generate option (see above).

• Shipping Order Number Type - Choose Sequential or VICS sequential.

• UCC Mfg. Code - If enabled, requires an eight-digit code. The customer decides if they want this information on their shipping labels. Any input less than eight digits will start with one or more zeros to act as placeholders for the 8-digit number (e.g. 194257 would display as 00194257 on the label).

• UCC128 Sequence - If enabled, requires a nine-digit code.

• SSCC Extension Digit - LPN - If enabled, this is the extension digit in the UCC128 for LPNs.

• SSCC Extension Digit - Carton - If enabled, this is the extension digit in the UCC128 for cartons. The customer decides if they want this information on their shipping labels. If enabled, this will be used as the extension digit in the UCC128 for cartons. Values range from 0 to 9.

• Shipping Label Type - Choose Standard or UCC128.

• Create Backorders - Automatically create a new order for back-ordered items when the user marks the original shipped or closed. The status of the new order is hold.

• Pack Kits as Eaches - Treat a kit as an each when packing into a carton. Applicable only with manual allocation.

• Cartonization Rule - Set the rule for packing cartons (e.g. mixed items, same items, same lots). See Cartonization.

• Order Consolidation - Display an Order Consolidation location field on shipping orders. RF can show this as a suggestion to pickers on the Pick To location screen. Order consolidation will override the Pick To location on RF, except in forward/primary pick.

Pick Tickets

• Pick Ticket Sort Order - Sort by pick ticket ID or location ID.

• Palletize Pick Tickets - If checked, only works with Manual allocation mode and Primary pick 1 / 2 on the account.

• Dynamic Pick Tickets - A useful feature for warehouses that receive inventory while a pick ticket is in process. This option creates pick tickets with the following notes: a) Manual allocation is required. b) No pick from location assigned at pick ticket creation; RF will determine a location at the time of picking. c) Pick tickets will be created with the full pickable quantity in the order, regardless of warehouse inventory

Pack Station

• Close Order on Close Packing List - Close the order when the packing list closes.
