    Item Rescanning at Pack-box Closure in Bulk Packing Process

    • Warehouse-level configuration is added for determining if re-validating of items is required during bulk packing.

    • Another warehouse-level configuration is introduced to decide whether item codes should be rescanned or the count of items should be captured for re-validating the items during packing.

    • It will improve the traceability of items and decrease the occurrences of items getting lost. This also acts as a validation step to ensure that correct items are being sent with the bulk order to the customer.

    • For more details, Please refer to the Item Rescanning during Bulk Packing process in Increff WMS Safeguard against lost items and ensure accuracy in every bulk order shipped.

    • Elevate customer satisfaction with a foolproof validation step for correct item delivery.

    By default, close box validation type is set such that user will only have to count the items in bulk packing only in the cases where items are picked in box through Cluster picking/ B2B Sorting/ Order picking. In case user wants to re-scan items instead of counting items, a request can be raised to Omni Success Team.

    Further, if user wants no validations or wants the strict validations of either re-scanning all items or counting all items in bulk packing(irrespective of whether items are picked through Cluster picking/ B2B Sorting/ Order picking), please reach out to Omni Success team.
