Overview

• A packing summary is the combination of all new orders SKUs, item descriptions, and quantities to be picked. The summaries are commonly used to bulk pick items which can then be brought to a central packing station for packing using packing slips as a reference.
• Use packing summaries to easily identify the quantities of each SKU to bulk pick for the orders selected.
• You can either generate a packing summary as a PDF or as a CSV.

Configure your Packing Summary PDF

To configure your packing summary, navigate to Settings > Packing Slip > Configure your Packing Summary here. From here you will see different options for your packing summary. Click Download sample next to each one to see a sample.

• Items Summary: The item summary will generate a PDF that has a list of the items, regardless of the orders they belong to. This is best used for picking orders, but can not be used for packing orders. You can optionally include colour, size and bin location by ticking these boxes on the settings. 
• Order Summary: The order summary is a PDF that consolidates many packing slips on one page. This can be used to both pick and pack your orders. 
• Order Summary with Item Barcodes: The order summary is a PDF that consolidates many packing slips on one page and includes barcodes for the items should you need to scan as you pack. This can be used to both pick and pack your orders.
