Please note that below mentioned workflows are not supported after the current release.

POS Packing Workflow For On-Premise POS

• In an On-Premise POS system, packing in SFS is only permitted after confirmation from the POS as billing occurs first at the POS. Packing can be put on hold until confirmation from the POS system is received. This can be activated or deactivated at the client level.

• POS system can retrieve orders from SFS in different statuses through APIs.

• After billing at the POS, the POS system can notify SFS to release the hold orders.

• Users can search for orders using the POS order code (a unique identifier shared by the POS after billing) and view the corresponding search results.

• For more details please refer to the POS packing workflow for on-premise POS

Packbox/Package SKU Masters

• Increff Omni now supports defining Box SKU Masters for Pack boxes and Package SKUs used in B2B and B2C operations, allowing to auto-populate the Predefined Dimensions and Volumetric weight values in Box SKU Masters in OMS with the scan of box SKU/ package SKU in Omni screens.
