Consolidating Packages

The Consolidate Packages feature is an automatic method of packing orders in 3PL Warehouse Manager that works best when most of your orders are shipped using the same package type. You must have your package types defined in the system before utilizing this feature—see Defining Packaging Materials for further instructions.

Please note that using this feature indicates you have already packed each individual order into separate packages. The use of this feature also overwrites any previously defined package data.

To use this feature, navigate to Orders > Find Orders, then select one or more orders to individually consolidate into the selected package type. Hover over Manage > Consolidate Packages, then select the appropriate packaging material.

Once the packages are consolidated, you receive a confirmation message. The new package data is reflected on the SmartParcel page, as well as all other places in the system where package data appears.
