Set Up Cubing and Pick to Cart Rules
Cubing Rules need to be set up for cubed allocation. If a wave template's allocation mode specifies a cartonized UOM = Cubed, cubing rules will have to be set. The wave template run for cubed allocation will create/calculate outbound containers with the wave or after packing.
The wave template will be linked to a cubing rule. The cubing rule tied to the wave template will be used to set up the rules for creating cubed containers. (i.e. This will specify how containers should be broken/created by aisle, area, order etc...). In addition, a list of container types/sizes can be set up with dimensions, max volume, max weight and empty weight.
- A predetermined Container Type can be used at the wave, order or item level for cubing.
- Dynamic cubing can also be used where WMS will calculate the container sizes to be used.
Task Description | WMS Module | Overview/Comments | Task Details |
---|---|---|---|
Set Up Cubing Rules | Cubing Rules | Cubing rules will specify how containers should be created/broken
after allocation. Note: By default containers
created will not be broken by order. To make sure that different
containers are created for different orders a cubing rule will
have to be added to break by order. Multiple Cubing Rules
can be created to be linked to different wave templates. |

Set Up an Ordering Criteria | Cubing Rules - Details Link - Ordering Criteria | The ordering criteria will specify rules on how containers are to be created and broken (i.e. If containers will be broken by aisle, area, as well as if they will follow a pick sequence…) Break By Count: The break by count will specify the number by which containers will be broken (i.e. Criteria to break Order by 1 = Containers will be created for every order. For the pick sequence to be followed the break by count will be set to 0) |
|
Set Up a Selection Criteria (Optional) | Cubing Rules - Details Link - Selection Criteria | The Selection Criteria is used to restrict the created ordering rules to specified criteria. (i.e. Containers are to be created for specific zones with specific criteria) |
|
Set Up Container Types 'OBLPN Types' | OBLPN Types | OBLPN Types represent the list of container sizes that will be
used for cubing. 1.
