Fulfillment

Fulfillment (/fulfillment) covers everything between a paid order and a parcel on the van. Six tabs, in the order work actually flows through them.

The office view lives here. The people doing the work use Floor Mode, which shows the same jobs one at a time on a scanner-first screen.

What you can do here

Queue The orders ready to pick, and, where work is handed out, the other floor work: receiving, putaway, counting, refills and moves.

Batches The pick batches on the floor, how far each has walked, and the route they follow.

Pack Scan-verified packing and automatic box selection from your catalog.

Shipping Rate-shop, buy, print and void labels — plus manifests, pickups, exceptions and freight.

Production With Assemblified: each work order from its materials picked to its finished goods put away.

Release Advanced. Hold picking work back and release it to the floor in batches.

Multi-order picking Enhanced plan. Pick several orders in one walk, each into its own tote.

Production

With Assemblified connected, the Production tab follows each work orderWork orderAn instruction to build something — the document in Assemblified that names what is being made, how many, and which components it consumes, and which asks Floormode to pick those components. Read more → through the warehouse, one row each: announced, picking, staged, in production, awaiting putaway, put away.

• The materials are picked on the floor to the work order’s staging binStaging binA bin holding goods marshalled for a next step — components waiting for a build, or parcels waiting for despatch — rather than stock available to pick. Read more → , WO-STAGE-01 — see Production pick. They leave stock when Assemblified reports the build that used them.
• The finished goods are booked onto the same bin, the workbench, the moment Assemblified reports the build, and a put-awayPutawayMoving received goods from the receiving area to the bin they belong in. With the receiving policy **Straight to a shelf** it happens during receiving; with a dock policy a put-away task follows the receipt (after the inspection, where the policy inspects). A work order's finished goods that Floormode books onto the workbench bin `WO-STAGE-01` get a put-away task too; an output that needs the receiver (serial numbers, or a date Floormode cannot work out) is received on its receipt instead. Read more → task brings them to a shelf. An output that needs the receiver — serial numbers taken at receiving, or a date Floormode cannot work out — waits on its receipt instead.

Without Assemblified the tab stays empty. See Assemblified for the stages in full.

Key concepts

• Pick batchPick batchA set of lines one picker walks in one trip, sorted into pick-path order so the building is crossed once rather than repeatedly. Read more → — a set of lines one picker walks in one trip.
• Pick pathPick pathThe order bins are walked in — zone, aisle, side, bay — which is what turns a list of lines into an efficient single pass through the warehouse. Read more → — the route order picks are sorted into: zone, aisle, side, bay.
• Pack jobPack jobOne parcel's worth of work at the pack station: scan every item, choose the box, record the weight, and verify before a label is bought. Read more → — one parcel’s worth of scan verification at the pack station.
• CartonizationCartonizationChoosing the cheapest suitable box for an order from your box catalog, using item dimensions — and splitting into several boxes where one will not do. Read more → — choosing the cheapest suitable box from your catalog.
• ReleaseReleaseLetting held picking work reach the floor, in a batch rather than continuously. Warehouse software traditionally calls this a wave. Read more → — letting held picking work reach the floor.

Where to next

• Floor Mode — the same work, on the floor.
• Carriers & packaging — carrier accounts, printers and the box catalog.
• Fulfillment settings — auto-assignment, refills and routing.
