Manually Packing Orders and Printing Packing Lists

You can manually pack orders that are released in wave transactions. They must also have fulfillment records in Picked status. When you pack orders, you provide carton details and select one or more items to include in the carton. NetSuite WMS sets the associated order transaction and fulfillment record to Packed status. For more information about released orders, see Releasing Orders to the Warehouse or Item Fulfillments of Released Orders.

Item and carton details for packed orders appear on the packing list, which you can print immediately after you process each manually packed order. The packing list also displays shipping details sourced from sales or transfer order transactions. If you want to print custom packing lists, you must activate and configure the Use custom packing lists? system rule before you manually process orders for packing. See System Rules for NetSuite WMS.

For non-inventory for sale and for resale item types, you can pack only the full quantity on the fulfillment record and not any partial quantities. For more information about supported item types for packing orders released in waves, see Supported Transactions and Item Types.

You have the option to automatically pack orders by inactivating the Manually pack orders? system rule. If you have set the Default Item Fulfillment Stage preference, note how your Manually pack orders? rule setting affects the status of new fulfillments for released orders:

If you set the preference to Picked and do not activate the system rule, NetSuite WMS automatically sets new item fulfillments to Packed status.
If you set the preference to Packed or Shipped and activate the system rule, NetSuite WMS automatically sets new item fulfillments to Picked status. With new fulfillments in this status, you can manually pack the released orders.

For more information about this preference, see Shipping Integration with Pick, Pack, and Ship.
