List of used Boxes
In the Boxes section, you can see all the boxes that are already in use. All boxes, which are not displayed in the overview, are free.
If an invoice was created, the order in the box is complete and the invoice can be printed and shipped out.
pixi distinguishes between normal boxes and express boxes with a fixed Shipping Date.
Remove all Items from Box
You can select one box and click the Empty Box button to remove all items from the selected box (only for boxes without an invoice).
Warning: Removing all items from the box will not automatically increase the item's stock. This needs to be done manually!
Box Detail
The box detail view contains additional information:

You can open the detail view by either double-clicking the box row you wish to open or by clicking the box number.

Open Items
Items that were not scanned yet are displayed in this section.
Put Item to Box
In case e.g. the barcode of an item is damaged or not existing at all, you can still do the Scan-In for this item.
Select it and click the Put into Box button. The item's barcode will be populated in the input field on the Scan-In page.
If the item was already on a picklist, the list is loaded before pasting the barcode.
Set Item to "Not Available"
If an open item can not be shipped to the end customer, then the item can be set to "Not Available" (NLB), which will effectively remove the item from the list and it is not considered open anymore.
To set an item to NLB, click the Not available button.

Printing Invoices
Click the Print Invoice button on the Boxes list page or Details page to open the pixi Desktop Invoices client and re-print the invoice which was already created for this shipping box.
Invoice copies can only be printed for boxes that have an invoice. In case an invoice was not created yet, the button is disabled.
You can set the printer settings in Administration > Shipping Station. The settings made for printers will apply to printing from the Boxes page.
Printing Partial Invoices
In case an order is packed only partially into a box, but the invoice should be created immediately, you can create a partial invoice manually for the box. Specifically, if a selected box doesn't have an invoice, the Print button is enabled, allowing you to print the invoice. A pop-up window will guide you through the process if you are assigned the permission: Create partial invoice in Web. But if a selected box already has an invoice, everything will continue to function as before. The Print button will remain enabled, irrespective of permissions.
If the order has a shipping lock, you will not be able to create an invoice. For orders with a customer lock, the Print button is always disabled.
Please note: This functionality has only been changed for users with this permission. If you select the Invoices and Credits 'Do not print' print option on the Shipping Station page, the Print button will be enabled, the invoice will be created but not printed. For users without this authorization, nothing changes and the Print button is still disabled if they select the 'Do not print' option.
