Multi-package shipments

In some cases, a delivery order with multiple items may need to be shipped in more than one package. This may be necessary if the items are too large to ship in a single package, or if certain items cannot be packaged together. Shipping a single delivery order in multiple packages provides flexibility for how each item is packaged, without the need to create multiple delivery orders.

基础配置

In order to split a delivery order across multiple packages, the Packages setting must be enabled. To do so, navigate to Inventory ‣ Configuration ‣ Settings, then enable the checkbox next to Packages. Click Save to confirm the change.

Ship items in multiple packages

To split items in the same delivery order across multiple packages, begin by navigating to Inventory ‣ Delivery Orders, then select a delivery order that has multiple items, a multiple quantity of the same item, or both.

On the Operations tab, select the ⁞≣ (menu) icon in the line of the product that will be shipped in the first package.

This makes a Detailed Operations pop-up window appear. In the table at the bottom of the pop-up window, the Reserved column shows the total quantity of the product included in the delivery order.

If the full quantity will be shipped in the first package, enter the number from the Done column in the Reserved column. If less than the full quantity will be shipped in the first package, enter a smaller number than the one that appears in the Reserved column. Click Confirm to confirm the Done quantities and close the pop-up.

Repeat the same steps for every item quantity that is included in the first package. Then, click Put In Pack to create a package with all of the selected items.

For the next package, follow the same steps as detailed above, marking the quantity of each item to be included in the package as Done before clicking Put In Pack on the delivery order. Continue doing so until the full quantity of all items are added to a package.

Finally, after all of the packages have been shipped, click Validate to confirm that the delivery order has been completed.

小技巧

After one or more packages are created, a Packages smart button appears in the top-right corner of the delivery order. Click the Packages smart button to go to the Packages page for the delivery order, where each package can be selected to view all of the items included in it.
