We have introduced Rollup SKU as Box Scanning feature in Uniware, that enables the seller to deal with boxes/cartons that carry different variants of the same product. Instead of scanning each item one by one, the seller can now scan the carton using a single parent SKU, and still keep track of all the individual pieces inside.
Use Case Scenario
Let’s say you’re packing a box of sneakers — all same SKUs. Earlier, you had to scan each pair individually before dispatch. Now, with the box scanning feature, you just scan the carton once using the parent SKU (for the box), and the system automatically identifies the items inside. It speeds up the process, reduces manual errors, and gives a much clearer view of inventory movement.
In Uniware, box scanning feature is supported for the following:
| Traceability | multi-EAN support |
| SKU / Batching | A new import Rollup SKUs – CARTONS has been created to create/update a Rollup SKU, i.e a box/carton that carry variants of the same SKU. The carton will have a separate SKU having multiple components inside it. |
| SKU / Batching | We have enabled box scanning during inbound GRN. |
| SKU / Batching | We have enabled box scanning during inbound putaway. |
| SKU / Batching | We have enabled box scanning during inbound put at shelf. |
Applicability
Version: Standard, Professional and Enterprise clients
Traceability: As mentioned in the table abive.
