Overall Caveats for Using Parcel Functionality

  • All outbound orders shipping via Parcel will specify either a Destination Facility/Ship To Facility or a Ship Via on the order header for the Parcel Functionality to work.

The Destination Facility is the final destination of an order, while the Ship To Facility represents the immediate destination of the order. If both the Destination and Ship To Facility fields are populated, WMS chooses the “Ship To Facility” field for determining the route’s ship via.

  • Before (1) running a wave (if the Routing Mode is configured in the Wave Template) and (2) packing an order (if the PACKING_ROUTING_MODE parameter is configured), users must validate the following:
    • Validate that the routes are activated.
    • Verify that there are open Manifests for the specific Carrier and Ship Vias orders that will be packed.
Weight on outbound cartons is always mandatory to receive tracking numbers from UPS/FedEx Services. Therefore, weight data must be specified either in the Item Master or in the IBLPNs during receipt.
  • For Full LPN, weight on outbound carton will be the weight specified on the inbound carton. If no weight is specified on the inbound cartons, the weight will be calculated from the Item Master given that items have a weight specified.
  • For LPN Units, and Cases, weight is calculated at packing.
  • If the Ship To facility on the order header is not on any active routes, or if there is no active route, outbound cartons are no manifested or packed until an appropriate route is active.
  • If there is no open manifest for the order’s particular carrier and ship via, the outbound cartons are not manifested or packed until a manifest is open for the appropriate ship via.
