====== Mobile Packing Flow======
=====Overview=====
This flow is available in the scanner mode. In the mobile packing flow the system do not display the maximum quantity to pack. The flow is used for a second verification whether the picked quantities are correct.

===== Mobile Packing Flow steps=====
====1. Initiate the flow====
Select the Mobile Packing function in the Sales menu of the Mobile Client.
====2. Select a packing line====
Select a packing line where the items that have to be packed are located.
{{ :implementation:functionalguide:packing:mobileselect.png?600 |}}
====3. Identify moveable location====
Scan the moveable location on which the items currently are or press the ‘Select moveable location’ button and select it from the list.
After identifying the moveable location, select a customer/ address from the list.
====4. Pack item====
Then identify items by scanning or selecting from a list (press the ‘Select a product’ button.) Add the quantity with the + / - buttons. There is no limit to the entered quantity, but the system will display an error message if the entered quantity exceeds the picked quantity still available on the moveable location. Press the right arrow to proceed. After the first item is packed onto the logistic unit, the system creates a LUID for it.

=== 4.1 Consolidated packing of serial and batch items ===
During Mobile Packing, the system can consolidate equivalent picklist lines for serial-number-managed and batch-managed items.\\
This behavior is useful when identical items are picked from multiple locations or logistic units, but are later physically mixed together on the same moveable location or SSCC.\\
Previously, operators had to process serial numbers according to the original picklist lines or batch groups. This required scanning the serial numbers in a predefined order, even though the products were already physically mixed together during the picking process.
**With consolidated packing operators can:**
* Add the total quantity in a single step
* Scan serial numbers in any order
* Use serial numbers from any grouped picklist line
**After selecting:**
* The packing line
* The moveable location
* The customer/address
* And the item
The system automatically groups matching picklist lines.
**The consolidation is supported when the grouped lines have:**
* The same item number
* The same quality status
* The same best before date
* Compatible batch or second batch information
On the quantity entry screen, the system automatically proposes the total quantity picked for the grouped picklist lines on the selected moveable location.
=== Example 1. ===
^ Picklist line ^ Quantity ^ Serial numbers ^ Pick location ^
| PLL1 | 3 | SN1, SN2, SN3 | Location1 |
| PLL2 | 1 | SN4 | Location2 |
| PLL3 | 6 | SN5-SN10 | Location3 |
All items are picked onto the same moveable location.
In this example, the default quantity displayed on the quantity screen is "10".
**The operator can:**
* Accept the proposed quantity
* Or enter a smaller quantity
The entered quantity defines the maximum number of serial numbers that can be scanned.
After confirming the quantity, the system allows the operator to scan any serial number linked to the grouped picklist lines on the selected moveable location.
**Example:**
- Enter quantity "4"
- Scan: SN7, SN2, SN10, SN4
The system validates that the scanned serial numbers belong to the selected item and are available on the selected moveable location or SSCC.
=== Example 2. ===
^ Picklist line ^ Batch ^ Serial numbers ^
| PLL1 | Batch1 | SN1, SN2 |
| PLL2 | Batch1 | SN3, SN4 |
| PLL3 | Batch2 | SN5, SN6 |
Previously, operators had to process the batch groups separately.
**With consolidated packing enabled, the operator can:**
- Select quantity "6"
- Scan SN1, SN5, SN3, SN6, SN2 and SN4 in any order
The scanning order no longer depends on the original picklist lines or batch groups.
=== Example 3. ===
^ Batch ^ Best before date ^ Serial numbers ^
| Batch1 | BBD1 | SN1, SN2 |
| Batch1 | BBD2 | SN3, SN4 |
| Batch2 | BBD2 | SN5, SN6 |
**In this example:**
* SN3, SN4, SN5 and SN6 can be scanned together because they share the same best before date.
* SN1 and SN2 must be processed separately because they belong to a different best before date group.
**Note:** Be aware about the following, picklist lines are not consolidated when they have different best before dates or different quality statuses. In such cases, the serial numbers must be processed separately.
====5. Add chart====
It is possible to add items from another moveable location, if the items were picked for the selected customer. Select the ‘Other moveable location’ button.
====6. Finish SSCC====
If there are at least one item packed onto the logistic unit, the ‘Finish logistic unit’ button will be available. When pressing this button, the packing onto the logistic unit is finished. The system prints the SSCC label //(Packing: finished logistic unit event (500) print event)// and displays the shipping dock where to logistic unit has to be moved.
When there are still picked items on the moveable location, the packing can be continued onto another logistic unit.
After packing all the picked items for the customer from the moveable location, the system will ask whether to finish the SSCC or proceed with the packing from another moveable location.
