Serialisation Of Inventory

Configuration

In Increff USP one can configure upto two attributes to be printed on the sticker. Here for example we have taken the attributes to be PO No and Pick list Id. A client can choose any series of idntifiers here for reconciliation or other purpose.

Printer Settings

In Increff USP one can configure printer to print barcode stickers as well. Here there are two tabs one to configure the printer to print the barcode sticker and another tab to configure the sticker to be printed. Here the sticker says external Item Id as the client can choose to have their own system generated item Ids as well.

External Item Id Generation

There are three ways of external Item Id mapping possible in Increff USP which are as follows:

Generating serial Ids in bulk from Increff USP system itself and print the stickers.
Client can upload the unique serial codes that their system might have generated in the form of a csv and then print the stickers.
Increff USP can generate the serial Ids one by one and paste it on the items.

Bulk Generating Item Ids Using External System Ids

The process is as follows:

Select client.
Enter the attribute values for the sticker (PO No and Pick list Id in our case).
Upload the external Item Ids as a csv file.
The attached printer will print the stickers.
After this the stickers can be pasted on the item Ids.

Note: At this stage there is no mapping in the system to know which item Id is corresponding to which EAN.

Bulk Generating Item Ids From Increff USP

The process is as follows:

Select client.
Enter the attribute values for the sticker (PO No and Pick list Id in our case).
Enter the quantity of stickers needed.
The attached printer will print the stickers and it will also be available for download on the screen.
After this the stickers can be pasted on the item Ids.

Note: At this stage there is no mapping in the system to know which item Id is corresponding to which EAN.

Map To Item

The process is as follows:

Select client.
Enter the attribute values for the sticker (PO No and Pick list Id in our case).
Enter the quantity of stickers needed.
The attached printer will print the stickers and it will also be available for download on the screen.

Pick List Sorting For Bulk Printed Items

At the time of sorting of orders after picking one can choose to map the client SKU with the generated external Item Id. One can enable the option from the configurations menu.

The process is simple one would need to scan pick list Id, client SKU Id and generated external Item Id.

Note: Tagging items with external Item Ids has the benefit that if any item is found lying on the floor there is a physical identification for that item. For example PO No and pick list Id on the sticker will help to know exactly why the item was taken out of storage and for what purpose.

One By One Item Id Generation From Increff USP

The process is as follows:

Select the client.
Enter the attribute values for the sticker (PO No and Pick list Id in our case).
Enter the client SKU Id
The attached printer will print the sticker.
In this method the client SKU mapping will also happen at this stage itself.
At last one can scan the external item Id generated.

Pick List Sorting For One By One Item Id Generated

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.

Order Consolidation

For multi line items at the sorting step one will have to scan the pigeon hole also to consolidate order line items. The process is as follows:

Scan picklist Id.
Scan client SKU Id.
If external Id mapping is also enabled from the configurations one will have to scan the external Item Id as well.
After that for a multi line order one will have to scan the pigeon hole as well.

Note: 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. Also consolidation of orders can be done in the client system also independently.

Packing

The packing of the order can be done in three ways:

Scanning pick list Id and client SKU Id.
Scanning using the external Item Id.
Scanning using the order Id and client SKU Id.

Once the packing is done one will be able to download the invoice and shipping label from the packing screen. There will be a popup to scan the AWB number. This will finish the packing step.

Manifest

Create Manifest

Manifest can be created in the following way:

One will need to select client, channel and transporter. Then click on create manifest.
The next step would be to scan the AWBs that need to be added to the manifest.

Handing over a manifest.
Handover by individual AWBs.
