Overview
The Pick, Pack and Ship enhancement provides the ability to create and/or update
Container information and Advanced Ship Notice (UCC-128) information, Shipment
Pieces information, and Shipment Tracking Numbers information during Warehouse
Cartonization, Warehouse Pick Confirmation, and Pack Confirmation/ Carton
Reorganization. Pick, Pack and Ship functionality requires both the Warehouse and
Transportation Management systems for the ERP 8.0 release. This enhancement was
made to solve the following Picking and Shipping models: Case Picking; Pick, Pack and
Ship; Pick to Ship.
Note: If using UCC-128 process to support Advanced Shipping Notice processing, please
setup this process before setting up Pick, Pack and Ship.
The Pick Pack and Ship can be divided into four different distinctive processes that can
be used together or individually:

Process Flow
Back to Top
A new table, Carton Detail Information (F4620), has been added to link together the
Warehouse Suggestions (F4611), SO Pack Confirm Detail (F4216), Shipment Pieces
(F4943), and Shipment Reference Numbers (F4217) tables.
The Carton Detail Information (F4620) file contains information needed to get the
Warehouse Suggestions (F4611), SO Pack Confirm Detail (F4216), Shipment Pieces
(F4943), and Shipment Reference Numbers (F4217) records. It can hold any number of
levels in the Carton Structure (e.g. Container - Pallet - Case - Box - Inner Pack - Items)
and contains a Carton Status for each Carton.
Primary Key
• UKID - Unique Key ID (Assigned by the System). The F4620 Unique Key ID
(UKID) and Carton ID (CRID) both come from P00022.
Unique Keys
• CRID - Carton ID
• ITM - Item Number
• LOT - Lot Number
• UOM - Unit of Measure
• DOCO - Order Number
• DCTO - Document Type
• KCOO - Order Company
• LNID - Order Line Number
• SFXO - Order Suffix
Table Relationships
Shipping Cartons are used to ship items. The system uses the information to determine a
shipping carton during carton recommendation. Container and Carton Codes (P46091)
program is used to define Shipping Cartons and the gross cubic dimensions of the
container. Carton Recommendation must be turned on. Methods and fill percentages can
then be setup for Carton Recommendation.
System Process
Steps for Setup
• Set up the 46/EQ UDC Table with all potential cartons, containers and totes.
• Define Shipping Carton dimensions, weight and capacity in the Container and
Carton Codes (P46091) application.
• Turn on Carton recommendation in the Location Profile (P46020) application
• Set up Carton Recommendation Methods for Items in the Item unit of Measure
Definition (P46011) application.
• Define fill percentages for items or item groups. In the Item/Carton Setup by Item
or Item Group (Item unit of Measure Definition) (P46011) application.
• Task and Trips (P46471) Processing Options set up.
• Carton Reorganization (P4620) set up.
Carton Setup (P46091)
Fields Description:
• Dimensions – Physical dimensions of carton/tote.
• Cubes– System calculated once the dimensions are entered.
• Weight – The weight of one empty storage container/shipping carton. The system
will add this weight to the weight of the item.
• Maximum Weight – The weight limit that carton/tote can hold.
• Tolerance – Tolerance indicates the minimum and maximum percentage the
carton should be filled for shipping. This is used with shipping carton s.
• Ship Priority – Shipping priority is used to determine which carton it should
consider 1st, 2nd, 3rd, etc. in carton recommendation. Priority 1 to largest, it will
have system look from large to small. This is used with shipping carton s.
• Shipping Container/Tote Container – Designates whether unit is internal or
shippable. This is an either/or setting and should say Carton, not Container.
o (YES = Shipping Carton and Storage container)
o (NO = is only a storage container)
• Available Carton – (Shipping Carton) Designates if the unit is available for
shipping recommendation in the Carton Selection process.
• Create UCC128.
• Dimensionless Carton.
To enable carton recommendation the recommend Carton flag needs to be checked for
this specific location. Based on the Picking instruction, the carton recommendation flag
should be turned on for all the picking locations.
Carton Recommendation Methods for Items in the U/M Definition By Item
(P46011)
• If method one is selected then the system will compare the volume of the Item
UOM (P46011) to the volume of the Carton (P46091) and based on this it will
allow certain number of Item into the carton.
• If Carton Rcmd Method is selected to 2, then the system will allow certain
number of Items based on the set up on the Item/Carton Set up By Item/Group
program (P46013).
Define fill percentages for items or item groups, in the Item/Carton Setup by Item or Item
Group (P46013) program off menu G46311.
Fill in the Container Code if the storage container needs to be considered as part of the
item dimension, i.e. the item will be in a storage container when it is picked to be
shipped.
Example
• Processing Options for the Task and Trips (R46471) UBE have to be set to
perform Carton Recommendation and to create carton details. Location Selection
Driver (R46171) calls a version of Task and Trips (R46471) to perform carton
recommendation.
o Carton Recomnd Tab: Set to processing option #1 to a value of '1'.
• Carton Detail Tab
o Set to processing option #1 to a value of '1' and enter in the Version of the
Carton Reorganization (P4620) in processing option #2.
Processing Options for Cartonization (P4620)
When suggestions are created the Task and Trip Creation (R46471) calls a version of the
Carton Reorganization (P4620) program that will create carton details into the Carton
Detail Information (F4620) table. To test the basic carton detail operations, assuming that
UCC-128 numbers will not be generated, Shipment Pieces will not be created and a
Reference Number will not be originated. The first three options on the Process tab
should be blank, and the rest of the tabs should be set up as follow:
With Pick, Pack and Ship, Cartons can have four different statuses (10, 20, 30 and 40).
These statuses will be updated according to the Processing Options in the Status Tab of
the Carton Reorganization (P4620). Note: Carton Status 40 is designed to be used only
by an external EnterpriseOne process.
Basic Cartonization and Carton Detail Example
The following example is to show the results of the basic cartonization and carton detail
process. A sale order is entered when the shipment is approved the warehouse request is
also generated.
On the report generated by the Move Slips (R46472) notice that two cartons (CTN1 with
17 EA on it and CTN3 with 3 EA) were recommended for the order.
First Move Slip (R46472) shows Carton CTN1 used up to its maximum capacity and one
task will be generated for each carton (17 EA).
The second Move Slip (R46472) shows a second carton recommended with the
remaining quantities on the Sales Order (note that since there are only 3 EA left, the
system recommends a smaller carton).
System Considerations
The system will process lines on a sales order as follows. It will take the first line put it to
the 1st sequence number carton. It will go to the 2nd line of the order and if the system is
looking at the same box the system will attempt to put it into that carton. If it fits it goes
to the third line to process. If the second line doesn’t fit, the system takes that line from
the first box and goes to the next carton. The first box will have the first item and then the
system will attempt to downsize the box.
The system also does not use tolerances as hard rules. For example, if a box is 100 Cubic
inches large and the minimum percent setup is as 85% and the next largest box is 50
cubic inches, there is a gap between the 2 boxes. If an order comes through that is for 60
cubic inches, the system will suggest the largest carton even though it is below the
minimum tolerance. It is advisable that the minimum tolerance for a box overlaps the
maximum tolerance for the next largest box.
When Carton Reogranization (P4620) creates carton detail the system populates those
details into the Carton Detail Information (F4620). Carton Detail Inquiry (P4621) is
designed to inquire on a particular order or shipment and to display all the details for each
individual carton.
Drill down on Carton Detail to display items in the Carton.
Carton Detail Inquiry (P4621) allows the details on the Carton Detail Information
(F4620) to be inquired only, and no changes are allowed at this point. In order to make
changes the online version of the Carton Reorganization (P4620) can be used.
When a dimensionless carton is used the carton information will not be stored in the
container field on the Warehouse Suggestions (F4611) table and will not be displayed on
the Move Slips (R46472) as in Carton Recommendation. The carton information however
will be obtainable in the Carton Detail Inquiry (P4621) program and it will be available
for reorganization on the Carton Reorganization (P4620) after the suggestion has been
confirmed in the Warehouse Movement Confirmations (P4617) program.
On this example the system assigns one CTON carton code per each CA of Item MB2
and after Pick Confirmation (P4617) the order is ready for Carton Reorganization
(P4620) or to be Ship Confirmed (P4205) with no changes.

UCC-128/ASN Processing
The process of using Advanced Ship Notices (ASN) in conjunction with serialized
shipping container labels is commonly known in the retail industry as UCC128
compliance. An Advanced Ship Notices (ASN) is an EDI document sent by the supplier
to the customer when goods are shipped. It identifies what was shipped and how it was
shipped. This EDI transaction in combination with a bar coded serialized shipping
container label (applied by the supplier prior to shipment), automates the receipt process.
As the retailer receives the goods, the shipping labels are scanned and then matched to
the Advanced Ship Notices (ASN) to generate internal transaction records.
To identify items for Advanced Ship Notices (ASN) purposes based on UPC/SCC codes.
A Universal Product Code (UPC) identifies the lowest saleable unit of a specific product
(usually the primary unit of measure).The UPC code is the same as an European Article
Number (EAN), the two codes are interchangeable. A Shipping Container Code (SCC)
identifies an “intermediate pack” of a specific product. These codes are fixed and are
either pre-printed on the product or applied as a label.
UPC information is held in the Item Master Tag (F4101T) file in the UPC Number
(UPCN) data item.
Set up UPCs/SCCs for items in Item Master Information (P4101) and take the
Storage/Shipping row exit.
Each item can have only one UPC and up to 8 SCCs, which are optional (PI=1 through
PI=8).
UPCs are formatted such that the first 7 digits represent the company that produces the
product, the next 5 digits represent the product ID, and the last digit is a system assigned
check digit. For example, the UPC for MB2 is 1111111555552
Before entering a UPC for an item, the product company must be set up in the 41/UC
UDC table.
An item can have up to 8 SCCs, each of which represents a different Unit of Measure
(UOM), or Packaging Indicator (PI). When entering a UOM, the system automatically
assigns the SCC. Note in the screen print above that the SCC is the same as the UPC,
only the SCC has an extra digit on the front, and the last digit is different. The first digit
represents the packaging indicator (PI) for the item. The first digit for SCC (PI = 1) will
always be 1, for SCC (PI = 2) 2, and so on. The system calculates the check digit at the
end of the SCC.
UPC information for specific items is held in the Item Master (F4101) table.
Before transmitting ASNs to customers, applicable information for each customer needs
to be set up. Set up a default shipment configuration and shipping requirements for each
customer in Customer Ship Notice Tab of the Customer Billing Instructions.
Indicate required shipping information for each customer for each line of business (i.e.
Company).
To define a configuration, indicate which file field corresponds to each level in the
configuration. For example, if the configuration is S O T P I (shipment, order, tare, pack,
item), SDCDCD is the field in the Sales Order Detail (F4211) record that contains the
shipment number for an order line. SDDOCO is the field in the Sales Order Detail
(F4211) record that contains the order number. XDPLT is the field in the SO Pack
Confirm Detail (F4216) record that contains the Tare number for a shipment, and so on.
Define configurations by address number, or enter zero in the address book field to
indicate that a particular configuration definition is applicable to all address numbers.
Warehouse Set up
The field ‘Create UCC-128’ must be flagged for every Item/UOM combination for which
UCC-128 creation is needed in the U/M Definition by Item (P46011) program.
The field ‘Create UCC-128’ must also be flagged in the Container and Carton Codes
(P46091) program for every Carton for which UCC-128 creation is needed.
Carton Reorganization (P4620) Processing Options
When Carton Reorganization (P4620) is run from the Task and Trip Creation (R46471)
UBE or the Warehouse Movement Confirmations (P4617) application populate the
appropriate UCC-128 information in the SO Pack Confirm Detail (F4216), Carton Detail
Information (F4620) and Shipment Pieces (F4943) and can be seeing online through
Carton Reorganization (P4620), Carton Details (P4681), and Work with Shipments
(P4915).
Carton Reorganization (P4620) at reorganization time will look like the following:
Tables showing all the ASN numbers, SCC number is blank because the order was
created only for EA
If UCC-128 was not generated through the Task and Trip Creation (R46471) UBE or the
Warehouse Movement Confirmations (P4617) application, the same information can also
be added manually to cartons/containers added from the Carton Reorganization (P4620)
screen.
Back to Top
Shipment Pieces
Prior to Pick, Pack and Ship the shipment pieces and all the details had to be manually
generated through the Work with Shipments (P4915) application. With Pick Pack and
Ship the system can automatically generates shipment pieces through Carton
Reorganization (P4620) based on the carton details on the Carton Detail Information
(F4620) table. Carton Reorganization (P4620) will update the Container ID in the
Shipment Pieces (F4943) record if the processing option is set to update.
In order to create Shipment Pieces the processing option for “Transportation Shipping
Pieces” behind the Carton Reorganization (P4620) called from the Task and Trip Creation
(R46471) UBE or the Warehouse Movement Confirmations (P4617) application needs to
be flag with a “1”.
The Number of Pieces is the total number of Shipment Pieces (F4943) records for that
shipment. A shipment piece is considered the largest shipping unit. If Carton Detail
Information (F4620) table contains several carton details and during the reorganization
process all the containers are placed into a pallet, then the pallet will be counted as one
shipment piece, hence only one record will be written the Shipment Pieces (F4943) table.
In this example, one shipment has several Items per container code and all these boxes
were set on a pallet at reorganization time.
Task and Trip Creation (R46471) originally suggested 3 pieces (container ID 611, 612
and 613).After Pick Confirmation (P4617) a new pallet was added and all the boxes were
placed on it using the reorganization version of the Carton Reorganization (P4620)
application.
Row exit to shipment pieces from Work with Shipments (P4915) will show the
information in the Shipment Pieces (F4943) table.
Note that the pallet code starts with the sequence number 4, since sequence 1, 2 and 3
were replaced by the pallet sequence during Carton Reorganization (P4620).

Shipment Tracking
With the Pick, Pack and Ship enhancement, functionality has been added to automatically
generate Shipment Tracking numbers. In order to generate Shipment Tracking Numbers
for Shipment Pieces, both Processing Option flags, shipment pieces and shipment
tracking numbers, must be turned on behind Carton Reorganization (P4620).
Since there is a wide variety of tracking numbers that can be used in the transportation
industry, the user has the ability to control the type and structure of the tracking number
that is generated.
The Work With Generating Tracking Numbers (P49005) program allows the user to enter
specifications for each individual segment of the tracking number generated. A tracking
number can consist of one or many segments. Individual tracking number generation
specifications for each carrier and mode of transportation must be set up.
Fields to activate:
In the following example, the Tracking number for carrier 8571 will be produced by three
different segments: a hard code value (1Z), a look up type (Carrier Number) and a 4
digits Next Number.
From Work With Generating Tracking Numbers (P49005) update the location of
separators for the tracking number for label generation with the separator specified. The
separator is a character value or blank space that will be stored and used ONLY during
the label generation. Separators are optional.
Tracking Number
Since next number makes up the third segment, the Tracking Number Next Number also
has to be set up.
Work With Tracking Segments Next Number (P490052) is the program that will generate
the last part of this example’s Tracking Number. If next numbers are going to be part of
the Tracking Number most likely Carriers will provide with a valid next number range
and valid expiration date
After the Carton Reorganization (P4620) is run, the reference number and the qualifier
will be updated on the Shipment Reference Numbers (F4217) records. Reference
qualifier is simply a value from the 41/X6 UDC table that describes the type of reference
number (B/L, AWB, Shipping Label, etc.).
The Shipment Tracking number will appear in the Reference Number field in the
Shipment Pieces Revision (P4915) application. Note that there are no separator characters
displayed in this application, the separator characters are ONLY used for Shipping
Labels.
