New Carton

In warehouse operations, the accuracy of carton selection is critical to ensure smooth processing and shipping. However, there may be situations during the picking process where the selected carton is not appropriate for the items, perhaps due to human error, a carton being too small, or other reasons. The New Carton module in XoroWMS is designed to address these issues, allowing users to efficiently move the contents of an OLPN into a new carton. This module allows users to transfer items from one OLPN to a new OLPN, ensuring that items are packed correctly without disrupting the picking process.

To move the items to a new carton, go to Home > Pick > New Carton

New Carton Fields

• OLPN#: The existing OLPN from which the items will be transferred.

• New OLPN#: The new OLPN to which the items will be moved. This represents the new carton.

Process for Moving Items to a New Carton

1. Enter the Existing OLPN: Start by inputting the OLPN of the current carton. After pressing Enter, the following information about the OLPN will be displayed:

   • Store: This field refers to the store where the OLPN is located.

   • Cart Location: This field indicates the current physical position of the OLPN within a cart type location.

   • Location Barcode: This field shows the unique barcode assigned to the physical location within the warehouse where the OLPN is stored.

2. Input the New OLPN: Enter the OLPN for the new carton in the "New OLPN#" field. Afterward, click Accept.

3. Confirmation Message: The system will show a confirmation popup, asking, "You are trying to create a new carton for OLPN. Do you want to proceed creating new carton for 'All Remaining Items' or 'Cancel'?"

   • All Remaining Items: This option moves all the unpicked items from the original OLPN into the new carton.

   • Cancel: Choose this if you do not want to proceed with the transfer.

Moving Items During the Picking Process

In some cases, the need for a new carton may arise while picking items from the OLPN. XoroWMS provides users with the flexibility to switch to a new carton seamlessly during the picking process.

Steps for Creating a New Carton During Picking:

1. Access the New Carton Option: While picking, click the Options icon at the bottom center of the screen. Select the New Carton option to move to the New Carton module.

   

   
2. Enter the current and existing OLPN: Upon selecting the "New Carton" option, you will be navigated to the New Carton module. If items have already been picked, the system will suggest the OLPN that was scanned. Enter the current OLPN and the new OLPN, then select Accept.

   
3. Confirmation Message: A popup will appear, offering three choices:

   • All Remaining Items: Move all unpicked items from the current OLPN to the new OLPN.

   • Current Item: Move only the item currently scanned during the picking process to the new OLPN.

   • Cancel: Abort the action and return to the picking process.

     

   • After selecting the desired option and completing the transfer of the items, you will be navigated to the pick module to complete the picking process.
