# Receive By Mixed Carton
The **Receive Mixed Carton** module in XoroWMS is designed to **simplify and accelerate the receiving process** by allowing warehouse staff to **receive multiple items in a single step**. Traditionally, receiving inventory required scanning and entering each item separately, which was both time-consuming and prone to errors. This new enhancement eliminates repetitive tasks, improves accuracy, and enhances warehouse efficiency by consolidating item entries before finalization.
***
### **What is the Receive Mixed Carton Module?**
In a warehouse environment, mixed cartons contain **multiple SKUs (Stock Keeping Units) in a single box**. Before this update, users had to:
* **Scan one item at a time**, manually entering its quantity.
* **Repeat the process** for each item within the carton.
* **Manually verify** received inventory, which increased the risk of errors.
With the **Receive Mixed Carton** module, users can:\
✅ **Receive multiple items in one go** instead of handling them one by one.\
✅ **Speed up the receiving process** by reducing repetitive data entry.\
✅ **Minimize errors** by reviewing and confirming the entered data.\
✅ **Enhance visibility** with a consolidated list of received items.\
✅ **Automate LPN generation** for better tracking and warehouse management.
This feature is particularly beneficial for **high-volume warehouses** where efficiency and accuracy are critical for smooth operations.
### **Receive By Mixed Carton Fields**
The **Receive Mixed Carton** process consists of multiple steps, each requiring specific inputs. Below is a breakdown of each screen in the workflow.
#### **1. Item Page – Enter Items and Quantities**
At the start of the receiving process, users need to input the **items and their corresponding quantities**.
* **Item:** Enter or scan the SKU/item number of the product being received.
* **Qty:** Enter the quantity for each item.
* **Add Multiple Items:** Users can input multiple items before moving to the next step.
#### **Scan LPN Page – Assigning an LPN**
The system now requires an **LPN (License Plate Number)**, which is essential for tracking inventory throughout warehouse operations. Users have two options:
* **Manually Enter LPN:** If a predefined LPN is available, it can be manually entered into the system.
* **Auto Generate LPN:** Users can let the system **automatically generate** an LPN for the received items.
**Accept Button:** Once the LPN is assigned, clicking **Accept** moves the process to the next step.
#### **Scan Pallet Page – Identifying the Pallet**
In this step, users need to **associate the received items with a specific pallet**.
* **Pallet #:** Scan or manually enter the pallet identifier.
* This step helps in proper inventory organization, ensuring that the received carton is stored correctly in the warehouse.
**Accept Button:** Clicking **Accept** confirms the pallet association and proceeds to the next stage.
#### **Scan Stage Location Page – Assigning a Storage Location**
Now, users must **assign the received items to a stage location** before final placement.
* **Stage Location:** Enter or scan the **warehouse location** where the mixed carton should be placed.
**Accept Button:** Clicking **Accept** finalizes the receiving process and triggers the option to **print a label** for easy identification.
### **Completion: Printing the Label**
Once the receiving process is complete, users can **print a label** containing the details of the received mixed carton. This label can be used for:
* **Internal tracking** within the warehouse.
* **Easy identification** during putaway or shipping.
* **Inventory reconciliation** when needed.
### **Info Pop-Up Icons on Each Screen**
Throughout the process, **info pop-up icons** are available on each screen to provide quick assistance. Clicking on these icons will display the details related to the page, ensuring users understand the purpose of each field and step in the workflow.\
