Known Process Limitations
- Shipments which include non-stock items of any type cannot be processed in batch pick lists. Such shipments can be processed as separate shipments or in wave pick lists.
- If the Automatic Packaging feature is enabled on the Enable/Disable Features (CS100000) form, a user can process in Pack mode only shipments packed to a single box. The processing of shipments packed in two or more boxes in Pack mode is currently not supported.
