Processing single item orders with "Singles" waves

The Shipment Wave tool allows you to create shipment waves to best suit your fulfillment operations. Singles waves offer a streamlined process to allow you to quickly process orders with single items. 

*Please be sure to enable the following System Config setting: Thermal Packslip Fallback. This will cause thermal packing slips to print with the shipping label. 

Create a "Singles" wave to begin. 

Create a "Singles" wave

1. Navigate to Warehouse > Shipment Wave. In the Create Wave pane, you can configure a number of wave parameters to suit your needs. To learn more about Shipment Wave parameters, check out this article: Create Shipment Waves

2. Enter the name of the Processing Container.

3. Select the dropdown menu for Wave Type, and select Singles. 

4. Press the [Create] button.

5. When the wave prints, you will receive ONLY picking labels, with a wave header and wave barcode. Packing slips will print with the 4x6 shipping label. Example:

(Please note: Only "singles" waves printed on 2x1.5in label media will include Pick Label barcodes. All other formats will omit the barcode.) 

Audit and Ship Singles Waves 

   1. Open the Shipment Audit tool by navigating to Warehouse > Shipment Audit. 

   2. Scan the wave header barcode. 

   3. Scan a lot or pick label, OR select a shipment from the list on the lefthand side to begin processing a shipment.
