TABLE OF CONTENTS

A Cell is a group of Locations, typically setup around a packing station, for the purpose of fully picking orders from within the Cell. Groups of Cells with the same product configuration can be grouped into a Cell Group. This allows flexibility in pulling Batches assigned to the Cell Group into any Cell where that product configuration should exist.


Cell Groups

A Cell Group is used to identify Cells that should have the same product configuration. Every Cell must be assigned to only one Cell Group. If none of the Cells have a similar product configuration, then there can be only one Cell within a Cell Group.


Create Cell Group

  1. Go to Maint -> Cells -> Cell Groups
  2. Click on Create New
  3. Enter the Name and Batch Size values
    • Batch Size will determine how many orders are grouped together when creating Batches
    • The maximum number allowed in Batch Size is 100
  4. Click Create
    • NOTE: It is not necessary to assign Cells from this page. Cells will be assigned as they are created.
