1-Scan-Shipping in pixi Web

Once you have picked the items from the warehouse, the process is roughly the same:

  1. The item is scanned at the Scan-In station and the 1-Scan-Shipping™ scan has been successfully confirmed.

  2. Pack the item immediately, without placing it in the box system.

  3. The invoice is printed immediately.

  4. Stick the label to the package. This is now ready for shipment.

  5. The Ship-Out is completed when an invoice has been scanned at the Ship-Out station.

Notes:
- The use of 1SS is only possible if the database setting 1-Scan-Shipping (pixi Control Center > Database Settings > Shipping) is activated.
- Orders with a Shipping Date are not considered by the 1SS. These must be placed in a box and sent on the date specified.

Special 1SS Parameters

Grouping by Item on 1SS Picklists (Group by Item)

Picking, packing and shipping a large amount of the same item from one or a few locations can be done efficiently by using the 1SS parameter Group by Item. A picklist profile that has this parameter enabled, will generate picklists where the same item is preferably put on the same list.

Only for Single Item (EAN)

This section here details this parameter (available for 1SS picklists).

Scan-In of a 1SS Picklist

After the 1SS picklist has been created, you can do the Scan-In for the items on the picklist.
Further information on the structure of the Scan-In user interface can be found here: Scan-in User Interface.


Follow these steps:

  1. Navigate to Logistics > Scan-In in the pixi Web application.

  2. To load the picklist, enter the Picklist Number with the prefix "pic" (e.g. pic1234) and click Scan-In.
    The picklist number is then displayed in the lower part of the page. The 1SS icon is also displayed after the picklist number.

  3. Now scan the Barcode of the picked items or enter it manually and click Scan-In.

  4. If the data provided is correct, the Scan-In of the Item is carried out:

    • The Item Name and Item Image are shown in the item information on the left.

    • the Process Information on the right shows the following data:

      • Top: 1-SCAN-SHIPPING™

      • Middle:

      • Bottom: Invoice Nr.: {Invoice Number}, e.g. "Invoice Nr.: SHOP0000120"

    • (Optional) If the option Select package type (e.g. for Amazon Seller Fulfilled Prime) is activated for the shipping vendor to be used, the package type must be selected from a drop-down list. The package type can be determined either by scanning the code of the package type or manually selecting it in the drop-down. If the item dimensions are properly maintained, pixi will automatically determine and use the package type. Screenshot


    • Using the pixiDesktopLauncher, the Desktop application pixi Invoices is opened to

      • create and print the invoice for the order associated with the item and

      • Create the polling file required for the shipping label, provided the database setting 1-Scan-Shipping - Automatic Ship-Out (pixi Control Center > Database Settings > Shipping) is activated.

      Note: Due to problems with the Google Chrome browser, we currently recommend using Mozilla Firefox. Google Chrome users must manually confirm the pop-up message each time they access the desktop Invoices using the pixiDesktopLauncher. This selection can be saved in Mozilla Firefox, Google Chrome does not currently allow this.

      • The item's Stock will be decreased
        If a picklist contains items that are spread over several bins, the stock of the item is reduced in ascending order of the bin sort number.

      • The order line status is set to EIN

  5. (Optional) If the automatic Ship-Out is not carried out with the 1SS, the Ship-Out for the created invoice must be carried out manually.

  6. Proceed to the next Item. This is not possible unless an invoice has been created for the previous item!

To clear a previously loaded picklist, enter "pic" and click Scan-In.


1SS for Orders with a Single Item

In the Picklist profile settings, you can specify that pixi only creates Picklists for a single item (Only for single Item (EAN)). This functionality is helpful if, for example, you want to send promotional goods. If you have already created such a Picklist, follow the steps below for shipping:

  1. Open the Scan-In page.

  2. Scan the Picklist.

  3. pixi opens a dialogue window to confirm the number of shipping labels to be printed. Click Confirm.

  4. pixi prints the shipping labels automatically.

    • If the prompt for the package type for the Shipping Vendor is activated, this only needs to be selected for the first order.

    Note: If you use this option, you can only use the scan-in again after the shipping labels for all orders were printed.

  5. The process is finished.


Note: If Chrome is used, problems may occur when printing invoices via the desktop client, as not all invoices are printed automatically. In this case, the following settings should be changed in Chrome:

  1. Open the following path in Windows Explorer:

    • ..\AppData\Local\Google\Chrome\User Data\Default\

  2. Open the Preferences file in a text editor

  3. Add this entry and save the file

    • "protocol_handler":{"excluded_schemes":{"pixi":false}}
