Packer's Workstation
General Information
The Packer's Workstation is a powerful tool for processing
orders requiring special attention at one more stages of order
processing. Where the Packer's Workstation processes orders on an
order-by-order basis, it is complemented by the Batch Order
Processing function which processes an entire group of orders
in one single pass.
Depending on the design of order processing at your company, one
or more of several tasks are completed using this function,
including scanning and packing contents, creating boxing schemes,
weighing boxes, printing order packing paperwork, charging credit
cards, etc.
Note: The Packer's
Workstation can only be used by one user at a time unless the
Advanced Warehouse
Module is installed with your M.O.M. system.
