Cartonize Orders

Set up cartonization in Infoplus to automatically assign the right size boxes/shipping containers for each order.

Before you can Cartonize an order, the Items that are on the order need to have the following required fields populated:

Length (in):

Width (in):

Height (in):

Note: If the Item on the Order is a Kit on Demand (KOD), the above dimensions are not required.

Access the "Item" Table.
From the Quick Actions shortcut: Press a dot (period) on your keyboard, then select “Order” from the list of Quick Actions.

Infoplus uses Cartonization to assign carton type and the amount of cartons needed for an order before shipping. 

NOTE:  You can cartonize orders as part of a Fulfillment Plan or as a separate process using the steps below.

To use Rate Shopping orders must have run through the Pre-Cartonization process or have been Cartonized by running the process in the steps below.

All orders must be in a status of "Processed" to be cartonized.
