Consignment Types - Warehouse Fulfilments

Table of Contents

Purpose 

Warehouse Fulfilments are a Consignment Type available to CartonCloud accounts that have the WMS module enabled. While they require the WMS, they can also be used by customers who have both WMS and TMS enabled.  This type of Consignment enables the Pack Screen workflow. 

Benefits

  • Enhanced packing workflow: Using the Pack Screen creates a Warehouse Fulfilment and the associated packages. To use the Pack Screen, Sale Orders must be set up to generate Warehouse fulfilments.
  • Package-level data: Each package (Consignment Item) within a Warehouse Fulfilment contains dimensions and weight. 
  • Item-to-package tracking: CartonCloud records which item(s) were packed into which box, improving accuracy and traceability. 
  • Delivery tracking: Warehouse Fulfilments move through Shipped and Deliveed statuses, providing visibility after the order has left the warehouse. 

Warehouse Fulfilments Workflows

Enabling Warehouse Fulfilments allows for the Pack Screen workflow. 

The statuses a Warehouse Fulfilment progresses through:

  • Awaiting Sale Order Packing 
  • In Warehouse
  • Shipped
  • Delivered (Warehouse Fulfilment) 

How to enable Warehouse Fulfilments 

Warehouse Fulfilments are enabled from the Organisation Settings and can be further controlled at the Customer level (if you wish to only enable it for certain customers).
