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

  1. Go to the Locations screen.
  2. Create a new location using the Create button.
  3. Populate all the required fields. In the “Type” field, select “Pack and Hold” from the drop-down menu.
  4. Click “Save”.

Moving OBLPNs to a Pack and Hold Location

  1. 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)
  2. Enter the Pallet/OBLPN to be moved.
  3. 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.
  4. 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.

Capacity Check During RF Dynamic Staging

Oracle Cloud WMS ensures that the capacity limits in staging locations during RF Dynamic Staging and RF Unloading OBLPN transactions.

When the following capacity limits are configured at the location level, RF Dynamic Staging and RF Unloading OBLPN transactions checks available capacity in the location to make sure the incoming inventory fits in the location.
