Introduction of Scan Package

1. Introduction

Option 1: Pack by Wave
  • The shipping labels are printed while the wave is still in progress. You can choose to scan the SKU, Picking Basket, or Pick List to print the shipping labels for the packages in the wave. Once all the shipping labels are printed, the wave will end.
Option 2: Pack by Package
  • After the wave is already ended, the user can scan the SKU, and the system will automatically match the package and print the shipping label.


💡 Note: If you choose Method 2 (Pack by Package), you will need to contact BigSeller customer support to enable it. Once enabled, this option cannot be turned off by yourself. You can check the status of this setting in the Inventory > Warehouses page.


 

2. Recommended Settings Options

2.1 Pack by Wave

Method to Print Shipping Label

  • Scan Picking Basket No.
    • You can directly scan the basket to print the shipping label for the corresponding package. It’s ideal for when you’re picking while sorting at the same time, as it saves time and ensures each package gets the correct label.
  • Scan Pick List
    • The advantage of this method is that you can batch print all the shipping labels for packages in the wave with one click
  • Scan Merchant SKU Label
    • If the products are well labelled, this is a scan to verify approach. When scanning each SKU in the package, the system will automatically print the airway bill for that package. This acts as a verification step to prevent missing or incorrect packing.

💡 Note: If you choose to Scan SKU label to print shipping label, there are three package match methods: Pre-Matching, Post-Matching, and Sequential Matching, which can automatically match specific package information based on the SKU entered during scanning.

2.2 Pack by Package

  • Use case 1: Set the Wave End Method to Picking Completed. This means pickers finish picking the items and end the wave first. Later, packers can scan the SKUs and print the labels, which can make the process faster.
  • Use Case 2: If the shipping label gets damaged after the wave ends and needs to be reprinted, this method allows you to scan package number / order number / tracking number to reprint shipping labels.

💡 Difference between Seqential Matching, Pre Matching and Post Matching

1)Sequential Matching: After scanning an SKU, the system matches the packages one by one where the SKU appears. You can only scan the remaining items in the current package.









2) Pre-Matching: After scanning an SKU, the system shows all packages that have that SKU. You can select any package, and then you can only scan the remaining SKUs in that package.









3) Post-Matching: The system will check if the SKUs you scan match exactly with the unprinted packages in the wave. This method works best when items are already sorted (e.g., in different baskets) and warehouse staff scan them one by one.--->The strictest matching method.



Step 2: After all packages' shipping labels have been successfully printed, you can end the operation.
