Packages

Pack items into a box with its own barcode, then scan the box to deliver or send all of it at once.

What a package is

A package is a box or pallet of items packed together in one warehouse, with its own number: an 18-digit SSCC. Its label carries that number as a barcode. Scanning the label later adds everything in the box to a delivery, goods issue or transfer in one scan.

Packing does not move stock. The stock moves when the delivery, issue or transfer that takes the package is validated.

Scanning items into a package

Use the package

Scan the package label on a delivery, goods issue or transfer. Every item in it is added at once.

  • If the document does not have one of the items, or wants less of it, the whole package is refused and nothing is added.
  • When the document is validated, the package is marked as gone out, with the document number. Scanning it again says where it went.
  • Scan a package on the home screen to see what it holds.

Package numbers

With your company's GS1 company prefix entered in Settings → Inventory → Barcodes, package numbers are proper GS1 SSCC numbers that other companies' scanners read too. Without a prefix Voltix uses its own numbers, which work inside Voltix only.
