Q&A



What Can the Packing WorkbenchDo For Me?

Packing of items is a common business scenario in anywarehouse. Items can be packed either on receipt,while they reside in inventory and during outbound

shipment to customers. Labels can be automaticallytriggered once the packing process is complete.

This presentation will explain how Oracle WMS usesthe desktop interface packing tool, which allows auser to perform packing, splitting, unpacking andreconfiguring of LPNs.



What is an LPN?

License Plate Number or LPN is any object that exists

in a location and holds items.

– Store information like item, revision, lot or serialnumber

– Track contents of any container in receiving,inventory, or in-transit

– Receive, store, and pick material by LPN – Pack, unpack, consolidate, split, and update LPNs

– Print labels and reports for container contents



What is the Packing Workbench?

The Packing Workbench allows you to pack material

through a desktop application window.

– Contents can be an Item, LPN, Serial Number or

GTIN – Enter or scan the contents to perform the pack, split,

unpack or reconfigure operation

– Product eligible for Pack transactions:• Inbound: Material in Receiving Subinventory not

delivered to Inventory

• Outbound: Inventory in a Staging Subinventory



Setting Up the Packing Workbench

The required setups to utilize the Packing

Workbench•

Create a Receiving Subinventory (For Inbound only)• Create a Locator(s) with the Type as “Packing Station”

(Outbound and Inbound)

Each pack: This option alwaysdefaults the pack quantity to 1. This isuseful if the operator must scan everyunit.

Ser ial tr iggered: This option allowsthe operator to scan the serial number.Warehouse Management does notrequire the operator to enter the itemif the serial number is unique.

Kitting: If an order was placed for aPTO item, the Packing Workbenchdisplays the BOM when an operatorscans a component of the BOM toassist the operator in building the kit.



PACK

– Scan or enter in the Packing Station (Source Defaults)

– Select Packing Process “LPN Pack” (This Defaults)

– Select the <Find> Button (Eligible material willdisplay)







PACK

– Generate or Scan LPN in the Into LPN field (This isyour outer Box LPN)

– Scan the contents that go into To LPN. The contentscould be an item, an LPN or a serial number. If item isscanned, the user also enters the quantity and ifapplicable, the lot information. If content is an LPN,

the content LPN is nested within the Into LPN.Note: You cannot Pack dif ferent del iveries into the

same I nto L PN







PACK

– Select <Close LPN> Button when you are finished packing

– LPN Information form will appear – Select <Done>




SPLIT

– Create or scan the Into LPN. This is the LPN intowhich the selected eligible material is packed.

– Scan a From LPN. This is the LPN from whichcontents will be removed and packed into the IntoLPN.

– The contents, lot, serial and quantity being split isentered. If full quantity is entered, the content LPN isnested within the To LPN.




SPLIT




UNPACK

– Enter or Scan a From LPN. This is the LPN that theselected eligible material would be unpacked

– LPNs must be nested to perform this transaction




UNPACK




RECONFIGURE

– LPN reconfiguration is carried out by scanning anLPN and selecting “Merge up” or “Breakdown”

method to unnest the LPN. – Breakdown mode results in one or more child LPNs

and all “container” only LPNs are destroyed.

– A “Merge up” mode consolidates the contents of allinner LPN(s) into the outermost LPN. All “inner”LPNs are destroyed.
