Pack and Hold Functionality
Pack and Hold is the process of temporarily holding packed containers in a separate area prior to shipping. Oracle WMS Cloud has a special location type called “Pack and Hold”, which is where all the related containers will be sent.
Configuring a Pack and Hold Location Type
- Go to the Locations screen.
- Create a new location using the Create button.
- Populate all the required fields. In the “Type” field, select “Pack and Hold” from the drop-down menu.
- Click “Save”.
Moving OBLPNs to a Pack and Hold Location
- From the RF Dynamic Staging Transaction (module: rf.outbound.cwrfdynamicstagingcntr) select your desired screen parameter choice from pack-and-hold-mode. (stage first, then Pack and Hold, or Pack and Hold directly)
- Enter the Pallet/OBLPN to be moved.
- In the “Pck/Hd Loc:” prompt, enter the location to move that carton to. Note that the system will suggest a Pack and Hold location, but you may override this suggestion.
- Scan the Pack and Hold location and the pallet number that it will be placed to.
Note: There is no validation process in Pack and Hold. For example, users can mix multiple
orders into the same Pack and Hold location.
