Picking Costs for Cartons

Overview

If you ship full cartons for your customers, you can setup the system to charge by a carton amount instead of individual units.

E.g. you ship 1 x carton of 50 units, instead of the system charging 50 x unit picks, it will charge 1 x carton pick.

Enable Carton Charging

First step is to enable carton charging for the client(s).

Go to Clients > Overview > Search for client & then hit Actions > Edit

Then go to the Picking Cost tab and enable the carton picking cost toggle:

Just beneath that you can set the carton pick rate you want to charge for each carton, you can set the same amount for 1st and additional cartons, or set different amounts.

You can also over-ride these values on a product level (if, for example some cartons are much bigger / smaller than others), this is covered in the product section below.

Adding Carton Sizes

Next, you need to add a carton qty to each product so that the system knows how many units are in a carton.

You can do this manually by going to Products > Overview > {search for product] > Actions > Edit

Then go to the cartons tab and add a carton size;

You can leave the barcode and dimension fields blank if you do not have these for your cartons (these are used for other features on the system).

You can add multiple carton qtys, if the product is in an inner and outer carton for example.

You can also upload carton qtys in bulk using the product upload sheet found in Products > Extras > Upload Additional Info > Download Carton Template

Then fill in and upload;

Again, barcode & dimension data can be left blank if unavailable.

Adding Carton Override Pricing to individual Products

You can also set an individual carton picking cost for each SKU, which would over-ride the client default default carton pricing.

Navigate to Products > Overview > {search for product] > Actions > Edit

Then under the main general tab, go to the picking/storage cost sub tab:

And set your required carton pick rates for the product.

Pick charge when order contains cartons and units

If an order contains an amount of a product that does not equal a carton size, then the system will charge the difference as a unit pick fee.

E.g. Carton size is 10, but order ships 11 units - the system will charge 1 x carton pick fee and 1 x unit pick fee.
