MetaPack

Process –

Upload of orders from external Sales Ordering System, orders are initially loaded onto the transient table for the first validation checks by the WMS.

Upon successful validation, the messages are fed to metapack and validated on their system (i.e. correct postcode /date/time etc)

Upon successful validation on Metapack the orders are then released in to the order well ready for allocation, if the orders fail validation on Metapack then an error message is displayed in the EDI sales order validation screen MetaPack tab.

Orders are then processed through to and including packing, at which point there will be an option to manifest the order on the MetaPack system which will have assigned a carrier dependent on the service indicator for the order, a label will be produced and a message sent to the WMS that when processed will despatch the order from the system.
