Build Pallet with Sorting By Carton
This topic introduces the transload workflow for an organization/customer whose "Transload Receive Mode" has been set as Build Pallet with Sorting by Carton. In this mode, the products are received in cartons, which are sorted by different destinations and then stacked onto corresponding pallets. These pallets are scanned during loading and then shipped.
Add/Import Receipt
The inbound receipt can be created by importing from edited templates or EDI.
Inbound Receiving
Upon the arrival of the products at the warehouse, finish window check-in and then transload receiving task.
- Log into Item Transload. In Window Check In > Entry List, create an entry and finish window check-in. A transload receive task is created and a specific assignee is appointed for this task.
-
The assignee then finds and finishes the transload receive task in the Transload app on the work phone. Refer to the following instructions.
a. Log into the Transload app on the work phone.

g. Tap Print New Pallet to generate a new LP and it will be automatically entered into the text box.
h. If Batch Scan is selected, scan all the cartons that are bound to the previously selected destination. If Single Scan is selected, scan just one cartonto be placed on this pallet, and create the next LP and scan the carton to be placed onto this pallet; repeat this procedure until all the cartons of this destination are scanned. The scanned cartons are listed below.
i. When all cartons for all the destinations are scanned and placed onto respective pallets, tap Close Step.
