PowerHouse/WMS
Shipping
|
|
After product has been picked to fill customer orders, it can be delivered to packing stations,
verification stations or to the shipping staging area designated for use by the order. Picked
product can be stored here well in advance of the arrival of the shipping vehicle; PowerHouse
will not permit anything to happen to the order before it has been marked for loading and it
will not allow product for an order to be loaded onto the wrong truck.
|
| |
|
Product being shipped via parcel carrier will typically be directed to a shipping station
where it is scanned for manifesting or scanned so that PowerHouse can inform an external
shipping application that the package should be added to the manifest. At this point, a
shipping label can be printed out and applied to the package if one was not applied at the
beginning of, or during, the picking process.
|
| |
|
For shipments that will be sent out using TL or LTL carriers, PowerHouse provides a full
set of rating, scheduling and loading functions. When freight rating is being used, all of
the necessary carrier and truck information will be updated in the system through our
FreightQuote interface.
|
| |
|
Multiple orders can be assigned to a single truck within PowerHouse, and the shipment maintenance
screens provide the shipping manager with the ability to specify a loading sequence for each
order to facilitate route planning. When loading sequences have been specified, the system
will load all the pallets for the order that is first in sequence before loading any of the
pallets from orders belonging to later sequences.
|
| |
|
| |
|
Once all of the orders for the truck have been loaded, the shipper can close and ship the
truck. At this point, any one of several variants of BOL and shipping manifests can be
printed, as well as packing lists and other documents.
