Dock Staging
JustFood provides the capability for warehouse employees to place warehouse shipments, in advance of the shipment time, in a staging dock. Before the warehouse shipments are posted, warehouse employees must perform a validation of the warehouse shipment.
Prerequisite
Before you can perform dock staging in JustFood, the Dock Staging extension must be installed.
Dock Staging Process
The dock staging process in JustFood is as follows:
Dock staging must be turned on for locations and warehouse shipments.
During the warehouse pick process, the one or more items that make up a warehouse shipment must be assigned to one or more place containers.
Before the warehouse shipment can be posted, the one or more warehouse shipment containers must be validated.
After the warehouse shipment has passed validation, the warehouse shipment can be posted.
Dock Staging Functionality for Warehouse Picks and Warehouse Shipments
The dock staging functionality affects the JustFood warehouse pick and warehouse shipment process as follows:
Warehouse Picks: When dock staging is turned on, before a pick can be registered, on the Warehouse Pick page, for each place pick line, a value must be entered in the Place Container No. field. When dock staging is turned off, the Place Container No. field is optional.
Warehouse Shipments: When dock staging is turned on, before a warehouse shipment can be posted, the warehouse shipment must pass a load validation.
