Pick & Pack asks you to scan a tote at two points in the fulfilment flow: assign a tote when you start picking an order, and scan a tote when you start packing an order.

Pick & Pack asks you to scan a tote at two points in the fulfilment flow: assign a tote when you start picking an order, and scan a tote when you start packing an order. Both screens use the same scan zone — a text field, a submit button, and a Scan with Camera button — no matter which scan input your warehouse uses.

Assigning a tote to start picking

When an order needs a tote, assign one before you pick the first item.

Assigning a tote

  1. On the Assign Tote screen, scan or type the tote barcode.

    • If your device uses the camera scanner, tap Scan with Camera to open the scanner, or type the barcode into the field instead.

    • If your device has an RF or Bluetooth scanner connected, scan the tote. The barcode fills the field and the tote assigns automatically — no extra tap needed.

    • If you enter barcodes manually, type the barcode and tap the submit arrow, or press Enter.

  2. Pick & Pack assigns the tote to the order and opens the pick screen.

Printing a packslip instead of scanning a tote

If you don't have a tote for this order, tap Print & Use Packslip below the barcode field instead of scanning one.

  1. Tap Print & Use Packslip.

  2. Pick & Pack generates the packslip and sends it to your label printer, then opens the pick screen — the same result as a successful tote scan.

The order reference on the packslip acts as the tote identifier for this order, so you don't need a physical tote for it. Keep the printed packslip with the order as you pick and pack it.

If the packslip can't be generated or doesn't send to the printer, Pick & Pack shows an error and stays on the current screen. Check your printer connection and try again.

Scanning a tote to start packing

When an order is ready to pack, scan its tote to open the order on the pack screen.

Scanning a tote

  1. On the Scan Tote screen, scan or type the tote barcode.

    • If your device uses the camera scanner, the scanner opens automatically. Tap Scan with Camera if you need to reopen it, or type the barcode into the field instead.

    • If your device has an RF or Bluetooth scanner connected, scan the tote. The barcode fills the field and submits automatically — no extra tap needed.

    • If you enter barcodes manually, type the barcode and tap the submit arrow, or press Enter.

  2. Pick & Pack opens the order on the pack screen.

Note: The status dot next to your name shows when an RF or Bluetooth scanner is ready. If a scan doesn't match a tote or order, an error message appears above the scan zone and the field clears so you can try again.
