Order Sorting and Consolidation
Sorting is optional step. Sorting becomes required to differentiate items of multi line orders to single line order and order consolidation.
For multi line items at the sorting step one will have to scan the pigeon hole also to consolidate order line items.
There are three workflows for sorting
Consolidation is same for all three workflows.
Sorting by SKU
The process is as follows:
Scan picklist Id.
Scan client SKU Id.
For the first items of a multi line order, scan the pigeon hole

Increff USP is not managing the pigeon holes shown for sorting here but only using them. The Ids and management of the pigeon holes is not being done by Increff USP. Consolidation of orders can be done in the client system also independently. |
Sorting with Capturing External Serial Ids
For Serial ids generated by external systems or by https://increff.atlassian.net/wiki/spaces/IO/pages/287670397/USP+External+Serial+Code+Usage#Bulk-Print-Item-Ids-by-Quantity or https://increff.atlassian.net/wiki/spaces/IO/pages/287670397/USP+External+Serial+Code+Usage#Bulk-Generating-Item-Ids-Using-External-System-Ids methods, its required to capture the mapping of external serial ids to SKUs in the system. We are reducing the total scans by using the sku scanned in sorting to map them to external barcodes
Enable Capture External Item while sorting configuration on sorting screen.
Sorting process is as follows:
Scan picklist Id,
Scan client SKU Barcode
Scan External Item Id
...
Sorting By External Serial Ids
The items generated in the above fashion already have the client SKU mapping done so when the items have been picked they can be sorted based on the external Item Id itself using the below screen.
...
Consolidation
System shows input to capture the pigeonhole id for first item of every multi item order
...
Once all items for a multi line order are scanned, system gives prompt to scan the pigeonhole id again to confirm that pigeonhole is ready to be picked.
