Using a Container as Part of an Order with Container Filling 2

When fulfilling some orders, especially VRT orders, it may be desirable to load a pre-filled container rather than dispense the product.

Applies to:

  • Container Filling 2

Selling the Container

Container Filling 2 can use a pre-filled container to fulfill part of an order at a site. To do this, when ready to load the container onto the transport, scan the container to select it in Container Filling 2 and click the “Sell” button.

Note: It is possible to pre-assign the container to an order using the “For Order” field on the container. This will skip the Order selection step, instead using the order selected in the “For Order.”

After clicking the “Sell” button a list of available orders will be shown. The search bar can assist in finding a particular order if necessary. Clicking the order will create a ticket assigning the container inventory as filling the part of the order and assigning the container to the customer.

Receiving the Container back

When the customer is ready to return the container, it can be checked back in by scanning the barcode and then clicking the “Check In” button in Container Filling 2. The operator may then check the container over and scale the contents back into inventory.

Unused inventory will be received back into the facility and credited to the order. Some interfaces may require receiving tickets from closed orders to be handled manually.
