Ability to Scan and Verify the UPC code of the product get shipped for the individual order. So, this will eliminate the WRONG item being shipped and Wrong Quantity being shipped. Also "Ship Order" button activates only when the right product(s) is scanned and right quantity is scanned for the order. Products that does not come with UPC may be shipped by manually entering item SKU in the barcode scan field.

Hell if you all could add an inventory add-on I would gladly pay an additional money per month for such an add-on.

Hey, everybody; we need your help in figuring out how to design this type of feature. Can you please give us some use cases of how you'd like it to function? The more information you can give us about how you need it to work will help us in working out how to develop it. Thanks!

Taken from another project, but I thought it sounded good... staff scan the barcode on the packing slip to bring up the contents of the customer's order. staff find all the products in their warehouse/shop and scan the products using barcode scanner. The software cross references the products scanned against the customer's order. If the correct item is scanned, it is ticked off. Staff fold up the packing slip, to show the customer's delivery address and stick it in one of those document enclosed wallets and stick on customer's package. Once the order is complete, the customer is notified, letting them know their order has been completed and is awaiting dispatch. When the courier arrives, staff scan packing no again and this notifies the customer that the parcel has been dispatched.

Here's a scenario that we'd like to see: 1. Staff enters order number OR selects order OR scans barcode on packing slip to bring up order. 2. A list of the order contents is displayed in a modal window along with order quantities. 3. As the staff scans each product and places it in the box, a corresponding "verified" quantity column shows how many of each item has been scanned next to how many are supposed to be in the order. 4. In the case where there are a product doesn't have a barcode to scan, we can manually enter the product quantity in a "verified" column via a html form spinner control 5. Once every product gets verified via a scan or manual entry the modal window disappears, the order is marked are "verified" and the order is now ready to be weighed and shipped. Essentially we do the same thing with just paper packing slips right now. We have a 'verified' quantity column and mark the product quantity in this column as we add product to the box. Before we close up the box we compare the ordered quantities against the verified and then we're good to go.

1)read barcode on packing slip (or label) 2)screen shows everything that needs to be in the package 3)scan item by item a)if correct item, screen flashes screen and item dissappears from list (or item quantity reduced by one) b)if incorrect item (or more scans of item than required) red screen and beep c)repeat until nothing on list 4)insert packing slip in envelope 5) close envelope

We totally agree with the comment that was left by indestructibledog. We defiantly need to have "Staff enters order number OR selects order" option. Obviously we need to be able to add, edit or delete Barcodes associated with each products.

Agree with most of the comments above ability scan the pick ticket and bring the order to screen, then verify each item and its qty by scanning UPC codes

I agree, I think the idea is to have the user require as little as possible when it comes to touching the keyboard. For example, have them be able to scan the barcode on the order. It brings up order, then scan in items. Once all items are scanned in properly, automatically print out shipping label. This is how our custom shipping solution works at the moment, and requires less training. If an error or some validation error pops up, then the user would need to interact with keyboardmouse. It should also support custome barcodes, since regular UPC codes dont exist for unique items. We would like to base it on a barcode made from the product sku. Thanks!

In between the step where the last item is scanned in and the label is automatically printed, please include an option to have the actual package weight automatically captured using a USB scale and shipping cost automatically updated. If it's automated, this extra step takes virtually no added time and it can save a lot of money. If it's not automated, (both taking of the weight and updating cost) this step is likely to forgotten/skipped when packers are in a hurry.

Come On Angel! You can do it...

  • April 22, 2013
This would be great! Any updates?

The ideal workflow! 1. We would print all packing slips from the "Orders" screen for all orders unshipped orders for the day and pick them. 2. Then we would scan the order on the packing slip and scan all the order lines expected. 3. ShipStation would then verify the order was picked complete and allow the user to click the scale button to load the weight. Ideas: It would be good to have the "Items Ordered" section display the items for the order and provide some indicator which products on the order remain un-scanned.

Any updates on this? Ideally, I see it as browser based/mobile friendly. Using say an iPhone, you can pull up the pick list, scan the items with the camera or additional barcode laser scanner. As you scan the items, it either green lights you, for the correct item, or red lights you requiring removal and scan of correct UPC. When the order is completely picked, the label is pushed to print.

We also would like to have the ability to scan UPC codes for the individual products. I think this is a great idea

  • August 7, 2013
Truthfully it seems like this would be better done without shiprush. A web based application does not seem like it would be fast enough if you wanted to scan in your entire pick list. There are plenty of warehouse solutions if you are shipping enough volume with mobile scanners. Just have a employee double check all the SKU's and it works fine (not the one doing the picking!). I would rather see the Tech's working on shipping rather then warehouse management. From how old this thread it, i would say that they agree.

  • August 7, 2013
This is not Shiprush. It's ShipStation. And it's about shipping order accuracy, not just warehouse management. I don't have another employee available to do the checking.

As our business is doing bigger, in order to control the inventory better, we hope the packing slip can show the bar code of each item, and we can scan the bar code on the packing list to update our inventory. Thank you.

  • September 5, 2013
You have just made my day! Do you have any broad estimate of when to expect the feature? Obviously, it's too soon for a definite ETA.

  • September 5, 2013
yes!
