Packing Details (EI57)

The Packing Details folder in One-Step ASN Processing (EI57) is used to pack the Carton(s) for the BOL entered in the Header Section.

The following list defines every field on the Packing Details folder:

  • Carton Serial # - if you are packing a Carton for the first time, leave this field blank and the system will assign the next sequential Carton Serial Number to this Sales Order. If you are recalling an existing Carton, enter or scan the Carton Serial Number into this field; once the Carton Serial Number is entered, all of the information is recalled and displays on the screen.

    • If the MH-10 Options from the menu bar is set to 'Already Printed', you must enter a valid Carton Serial Number in this field.
