Shipping – Re-Pack an Order Function

Contents

Overview

Deletes all packing data for given order number and allows for the order to be repacked.
The order to be re-packed must not have any data in the tracking table and if it does it must be voided prior to re-packing.
This option is available on the Search/List View screens for both the Shipping and Packing screens. It is also available from the Packing Screen.
This option is set by a system variable and can be turned OFF if this feature is not needed.

Re-Pack an Order

Select this to clear the packing data for a particular order and start over again.
This option is set on the Shipping Settings->Packing Options screen, “Allow repacking of orders”.
The system variable is PackingAllowRepack.
When this variable is False, the “Re-Pack an Order” button will not display on the left side of the Packing and/or Shipping Screen, and when Re-Pack is selected on the Search View Screen, it will give a message that “Repacking orders is not enabled.”
When this variable is set to True and selected, the button opens a response window warning that all packing data for the selected order will be deleted. Then asks for the order # or Cancel. Entering an order number and continuing means that the data for that order that exists in the Packing Table will be deleted.

Upon the close of the response window, if the order number has tracking data, it then will come up with a second response window informing that the order has to be voided in order to continue with the Re-pack process. If the order did not have tracking data, the next two screens will not appear.

Example of voiding a shipment in the re-packing process. This window will display immediately after the above window closes.

Example of the confirmation window informing that the packing data for given order will be deleted. This window executes the delete process after the OK button has been selected.

Once the Packing data for the order has been deleted from the table, the Packing screen will open and allow for the order to be re-packed.
