Pack Orders

After you release the orders you are going to fulfill and pick the items for the order(s), use the Confirm process in the Pack Orders screen to record the item IDs you pull from inventory and apply their quantities to specific transactions.

Please note that this function does not update information in Inventory and other Traverse applications until after you confirm your entries. When you click the Confirm button on the Pack Orders screen to confirm your entries, Warehouse Management updates Inventory quantities and transactions in other Traverse applications as necessary.

  • If you picked items for Sales Order transactions, Warehouse Management takes committed item quantities from on-hand quantities in Inventory and changes transaction status to Picked for the orders you selected.
  • If you pulled components for released orders in Production, Warehouse Management decreases on-hand quantities and removes committed quantities in Inventory for item components, and creates interim GL accounting entries to track costs during production. It does not update the status for material activity entered on the Materials tab of the Record Production Activity function in Production; you must do this manually.
  • If you picked items for Service Director dispatch estimates, Warehouse Management updates the on-hand quantities in Inventory for those items, but does not change the work order itself. You update the work order manually with the actual quantities used when the technician returns.
  • If you are transferring items between warehouses, Warehouse Management updates the on-hand quantities for the source location and the on-order quantities for the destination location, then changes status to Picked for transfers for which you have shipped the entire quantity.
    Note: If you do not pick the entire quantity for a location transfer, Warehouse Management does not set the transfer's status to Picked. You may need to set this status manually to receive goods at the destination.
  • If you are shipping requisitioned items, Warehouse Management updates the extended cost and Filled quantities on material requisitions and updates the on hand quantity in Inventory for the items you shipped.
  • Orders are packed one at a time.

NOTE: You can pack only items that have been picked.
