Steps
Selecting fulfilments to add to a wave and create wave
This is done by setting a prioritisation logic. Most commonly, fulfilment are added to a wave based on their expiration date and time. The fulfilment about to expire first, gets priority at the time of wave creation. Some other logics include:- Prioritise fulfilment by type, where fulfilments from a Click& Collect order get prioritised over the fulfilment from a home delivery order.
- Prioritise fulfilments based on delivery types. fulfilment with a 1 hour delivery are prioritised over express and express delivery is prioritised over standard. In such scenario, a hierarchy of delivery types is preset.
Generating standard or custom pick list
The pick list has items to be picked for a particular wave. The items are not displayed per fulfilment but per wave. If an item belongs to two different fulfilment in a wave, the item will only be listed once in the pick list with a total quantity required across the entire wave.There are two variations of the pick list:1. Default pick list
2. Custom pick listThis functionality is only for wave rubixified clients. The custom template is stored in the PICK_N_PACK_CUSTOM_PICK_LIST retailer setting.. For more information about the setting, see . The default value stored in the DEFAULT_INVENTORY_CATALOGUE retailer setting is used to retrieve inventory data used in the custom template. The user (the locRef for the Store) must also have `GRAPHQL_VIEW` permission for GQL queries on the ACCOUNT and RETAILER level so that they can read from the inventory catalogue. Make a PUT grant API call to endpoint `http://<ACCOUNT_ID>.sandbox.api.fluentretail.com/api/v4.1/user/<locRef>/grant` with the following payload:Example PayloadAPI endpoint: .sandbox.api.fluentretail.com/api/v4.1/settings/retailer/1/PICK_N_PACK_CUSTOM_PICK_LISTMethod: PUT Authorization: Retailer Token(Optional) Scanning items to pick via the ENFORCE_BARCODE_SCAN setting.
This feature allows you to scan the barcode of the item on the picking screen. Ensure that the Variant Product (SKU) has a valid barcode.If you are using the REST API to create product variants, the barcode is provided as the SKU attribute as shown below:If you are using GraphQL, the barcode is provided as a value to the GTIN field of the Variant Product(SKU).After you scan the barcode, the item counter is incremented on the pick screen. After scanning the items for a wave, the user clicks the CONFIRM ITEMS button to confirm that items are picked. At this step, the following changes are executed in the background:- RESERVED quantities of an item are converted to SALES.
- Picked items are allocated to fulfilment in the wave.
