Summary
The Multi Pack Boxes Support for B2C Shipment feature from an end-user perspective includes the following key points in more detail:
...
Internal backend configurations to allow multiple pack boxes and to allow box labelsat the channel level are added.Allow Multiple Packboxes and Allow box label configurations can be enabled/ disabled for a client and channel pair on raising a request to the Omni Success team.
Allow multi-pack box value is applicable only for B2C orders because it will always remain TRUE for B2B orders irrespective of the value set in this flag.
The same values of these properties will flow against orders to OMS and WMS. These values would be set by the Increff team while configuring a channel for a client on the basis of the use case shared by the client.
If Allow box label is not enabled, only one shipping label per shipment will get generated even if there are multiple pack boxes present for the shipment. But, when it’s enabled, labels get generated for each box.
These configurations can be enabled/ disabled for a client and channel pair on raising a request to the Omni Success team.
User Manual
Packing Screen Configuration to allow Multiple Packboxes
Increff WMS now provides flexible Packing Options for B2C shipments.
Users can pack orders in multiple boxes or a single packet, depending on the order requirements. Users can enable/disable the toggle Allow Multiple Packboxes configuration in the Piece Packing screen’s Configuration. The toggle is provided for users to generate multiple Pack boxes for an order, allowing for easy management of multi-pack box orders
This allows for better handling of orders with large or bulky items, as well as orders containing items from multiple categories.
Allow Multiple Packboxes configuration in Packing screen will only be functional to enable/ disable multiple pack box support when Allow Multiple Packboxes configuration is Enabled at backend channel configurations. Otherwise, by default the multiple Packboxes support will remain disabled.
