This flexible checkout module is suitable for many different types of business environments. It can be used in a Small Parcel environment for boxes being shipped with FedEx, UPS, or similar courier companies or it can be used in an LTL or Less than Truckload type of environment, where there may be one or more entire pallets that you require to ship.

This module would typically be used after the WMS pick slip has been picked, but before it has been Invoiced or Dispatch Noted in SYSPRO

Try it!

Let’s start by looking at the Small Parcel Environment checkout.

This type of order is typically a sales order with various stock codes on it, but with a small quantity. They can be checked out using the MSN Grocery Checkout process in your checkout environment. In this type of checkout environment, you may find a typical grocery store look, with a few lanes of checkout users, each checking out individual small Qty orders. These can be physical checkout lanes within a warehouse, where each checkout user has their PC and printer.

Typically, the picker would then deliver their picked stock and pick slip to the start of these checkout lanes and the checkout user would perform a grocery-style checkout process on each pick slip. The stock to be checked will be packed into boxes or cartons and the software will print out a carton label for each box completed.

 

Confirm the correct status

As this module is only used after the pick slip has been picked it is important to note that the pick slip must have a Status of PICKED to start with the MSN Grocery checkout process.

To verify the status of the pick slip go to Confirm the pick slip status

Small Parcel process

  • On the Main Menu browse to Order Packing & Check Out / Check Out Options / MSN Grocery Pack / MSN Grocery Pack

Locate MSN Grocery Pack under the Main Menu

  • The MSN Grocery Pack window will open

MSN Grocery Pack screen

 

  • Start by entering your Pick Slip or MSN number in the MSN/Pick Slip field. You can also use the search icon to locate your Pick Slip

  • Once your MSN number is located, the software validates if any of the stock codes have a Pan Size in SYSPRO that is not configured

  • A Pan Size pop-up screen will appear, indicating whether there are stock codes with Pan Size values of 0

  • If you do not want to use Pan Size values, you can just click past these messages

  • The data grid displays all the stock codes and Qty to be packed on the pick slip. In the Qty to Pack, you will see the total Qty to be packed, and in the Qty Packed you will see Qty that has already been packed

Packing and Labeling a full box

A predefined carton label has been provided with the WMS installation, which will print out for each carton pack. However, you can configure additional cartons and labels.  For more information refer to Create packing cartons and General Labeling

To start labeling the boxes go to Packing and Labeling a full box (Small Parcels)

Packing and labeling loose quantities

Notice, that you might only have packed and labeled Full Boxes / Standard Packs so far, but there might still be stock codes left on the order with smaller quantities.

To start pack the remaining loose quantities into another box or carton go to Packing and Labeling loose quantities

Posting the transaction

Once all stock has been packed, and the correct Cartons are selected you can post the transaction. Go to Posting the transaction
