Packaging, i.e. the packaging of the picked goods ready for dispatch and the creation of the necessary documents and labels, usually follows the consolidation process. However, parts of the process can also run earlier, even before the picking starts, e.g. when orders are picked directly into the shipping container (Pick & Pack).
The packaging process is typically supported by the following WMS functions:
- Selection of the type and size of packaging suitable for the packaged goods (depending on material characteristics, volume and weight, shipping route, hazardous goods regulations, attributes specific to master data or delivery orders, packaging instructions, etc.)
The prerequisite for this is the maintenance of the required master data for packaging types and sizes and other information related to these processes.
