Using the Pallet Repacking function allows for the contents of an entire

automatically close the pallet (and container) and print out the required

To use the function, first the destination pallet is identified and if not
already known, the pallet type is entered. Next the source container /
pallet is identified. The destination container details are entered and if
required the type and weight may be amended. This last step is then
repeated for as many pallets / containers you wish to consolidate or add
to the destination pallet. When you are complete you then use a
function key to exit the function and trigger the closing of all pallets /
containers, plus print all labels and documents. If required, the operator
may be prompted to enter the pallet height.

Cross Docking
Matrix WMS CORE+ offers a Cross Docking Option Pack which provides the ability to move inventory from the receiving area to a temporary holding
location, post pick activity area or direct to the loading lanes, without the need to put the items into storage.
1. Flow-Through Cross Docking: Receipt, putaway and storage of Cross Dock items in a dedicated Warehouse Zone in/between/next to the
Receipt and Ship Docks. Storage duration in this Zone is expected to be anywhere between a number of hours up to 5 days. All Pick Methods
can be used in conjunction with Flow Through Cross Docking. Supports all inbound order types.
2. Pre-Allocation Cross Docking: Receipt and Putaway directly to Post-Pick Activity Zone or Ship Dock, with no intermediate storage, using pre-
allocation to allocate orders to expected receipts. Allows for Pallet break-down and sortation to redistribute received inventory across multiple
orders and ship docks (aka Retail Cross Docking). Requires a Pre-Advice or ASN as receipt order and optionally the Post Pick Grid Sortation
Option Pack.
3. Full SSCC Pallet Cross Docking: Receipt and Putaway to the Ship-Dock of pallets, using their SSCC pallet barcode receipt, pick and vehicle
loading. Pallets can contain one or more inventory items. Requires an ASN as receipt order.
• Directly pick from receipt dock to Post Pick Activity Zone or Ship Dock using streamlined picking process
• (Automatically) Pre-Allocate inventory to orders prior to actual receipt of inventory in warehouse
• Receive and Pick Pallets using SSCC pallet barcode (SSCC Pallet Cross Docking)

Key features of using CORE+, Insequence and IFL as part of the I2M SMART solution:
• Inbound Receiving and Putaway as per any of the existing CORE+ processes,
• Predefined Zone to use for inventory handled by Insequence,
• Single pick face per SKU (within predefined zone) with minimum quantity triggering replenishment,
• attributes (e.g. serial number, etc),
• IFL set up as a Carrier/Service Level in CORE+,
•
• Insequence receives and sequences demand from the manufacturer,
• CORE+ Inventory Query API used by Insequence,
• CORE+ [Outbound] Order Create API used by Insequence to provide sequenced demand orders,
• Non sequenced outbound orders can also be processed via the existing CORE+ processes,
• Demand Orders include Carrier/Service Level for IFL, Consignment ID, Load Sequence,
• CORE+ pick notification API to Insequence to inform of allocated pick tasks,
• Insequence used for picking onto racks and production of paperwork,
• CORE+ Pick Confirmation API used by Insequence to confirm the picking activity and container,
• CORE+ Move Confirmation API used by Insequence to confirm the completion of picking activity for an order and its location,
• CORE+ used for the loading and dispatch of orders.
• IFL Despatch Advice API used to notify IFL of the orders to be delivered to the manufacturer.
• IFL used to manage the delivery to the final destination at the manufacturer.

Key features of using CORE+, and Pack Manager as part of the Co-Pack SMART solution:
• Copacking activity is scheduled and managed by PackManager to build Finished Goods from Component parts, both of which are stored as
inventory within CORE+ (Build-to-Stock),
• Initial inbound receiving, putaway and Storage of inventory of component parts (as their own SKUs) occurs via CORE+ using existing processes,
• Final outbound instruction to dispatch, allocation, picking, packing loading and shipping of existing inventory of either component parts and/or
finished goods occurs via CORE+ using existing processes,
• CORE+ SKU interface to PackManager is used to inform the Copacking function of SKU and related Pack Configuration information. (If CORE+
kitting functionality was previously used then associated kit line information is also included),
• PackManager controls the Bill-of-Materials per Finished Good. Consumables are by default managed within the Copacking tool they can
however also be treated as inventory within the WMS (but strongly advised against),
• PackManager requests the component part inventor
interface,
• The Outbound Order type CPK is used to help visibility / reporting from CORE+,
• Order Lines contain predefined stage route ID (LINE01-LINE20) to guide the picking and movement to the appropriate location (matching a
production line) in the shipdock COPACK01,
• Unique Consignment IDs are advised to be populated on the orders provided so to remove the need for transport planning manually in the
WMS,
• CORE+ Dispatch Advice interface is used to inform PackManager of the handover of requested inventory,
• PackManager production line are used to perform copacking activity, producing the desired finished goods, including controlling a QA process
and GS1-128 compliant pallet labelling,
• CORE+ ASN inbound order interface is used by PackManager to inform CORE+ of the palletised Finished Good SKUs (and returning
component SKUs if appropriate),
• The Inbound Order types CPF (finished goods) and CPR (returns) are used to help visibility / reporting from CORE+,
• Trusted Receipt and Putaway is performed, with the CORE+ Receipt Confirmation interface used to notify PackManager of the transfer of
inventory.
• CORE+ Inventory Snapshot and adjustments are available if desired to keep PackManager aware of inventory levels.
