Infoplus Support

The Shipping Station Mobile Floor App provides a quick way for warehouse personnel to ship an order in Infoplus at the point when parcels are ready to leave the warehouse.

NOTE: The Ship Parcel Order Desktop App can also be used to ship orders. The Desktop App is typically used by administrators to specify shipping details (when needed) and ship the order in Infoplus. 

The Shipping Station Mobile Floor App can be completely driven by a keyboard. It also works with a mouse and/or touchscreen, and allows for use of a scanner. In addition, the App is optimized for viewing full screen, on a tablet, or on a smart phone. 

• Use the Mobile Floor App on cartonized or non-cartonized orders. On non-cartonized orders, you will need to indicate the weight of each carton. If you have connected Scale(s) and turned on the Scale Settings in Infoplus, the Shipping Station Mobile Floor App will automatically detect weight readings from the scale. 
• If you track the production lot for SKUs (i.e., food items), the App will prompt you to scan each SKU. This will only occur if your item records indicate this requirement.
  
• Through the Mobile Floor App, you can also print and reprint parcel labels. If you have connected printer(s) and turned on Auto Print in Infoplus, the Shipping Station Mobile Floor App will automatically print labels during the shipping process. You can also reprint labels for shipped orders.

NOTE:  The minimum acceptable weight is the estimated weight for orders/cartons with estimated weights <= 2 lbs

Ship Cartonized Orders

The following steps will ship orders that have been cartonized, picked, and packed. 

1. Access the Shipping Station Mobile Floor App. Two ways:
   From the Dashboard: Click the Mobile Floor Apps tab and then click the Shipping Station App.
   From the Quick Actions shortcut: Press a dot (period) on your keyboard. Then select the "Shipping Station" App from the list of Quick Actions.
   
   
2. If you are prompted to select a Warehouse, click on the appropriate Warehouse. The screen requesting a value will appear.
   
   

   

   
   
3. Scan or type the Order Number or Tracking Number for the parcel to be shipped. Press Enter or click Next.
   
   
4. If Production Lot Tracking is required for the Order, you will be prompted to scan each item in the carton (screenshot below). Scan or type in each SKU, pressing Enter or clicking Next after each.
   If you are not tracking production lots, jump to Step #5.
   
   

   

   
   

5. If the order is eligible for shipment (pick and pack work is complete and it is cartonized), the Ready to Ship screen will appear.
   
   
   NOTE: If you want to reprint parcel labels, click the More button and select Print Labels. A separate browser window will open with the parcel label.
   
   
6. When you are ready to ship, click Next. A message at the top of the window will indicate the order was completed and the App will be ready for the next shipment. The completed Order record will now show a status of "Shipped" and you can track the shipment in Infoplus.
   
   
   
   
7. To move to a different App in Infoplus, click the menu icon in the upper left corner.
   NOTE: To access the Desktop Dashboard (vs. the Mobile Dashboard), click the Desktop menu option. 

Ship Non-Cartonized Orders

The following steps will ship orders that have not been cartonized, but have been picked, and packed.

1. Access the Shipping Station Mobile Floor App. Two ways:
   From the Dashboard: Click the Mobile Floor Apps tab and then click the Shipping Station App.
   From the Quick Actions shortcut: Press a dot (period) on your keyboard. Then select the "Shipping Station" App from the list of Quick Actions.
   
   
2. If you are prompted to select a Warehouse, click on the appropriate Warehouse. The screen requesting a value will appear.
   
   

   

   
   

3.  Scan or type the Order Number or Tracking Number for the parcel to be shipped. Then click Next. The "Building Carton No. 1" screen will appear.  
   
   

   

   
   

4. If you have connected Scale(s) and turned on the Scale Settings in Infoplus, and placed the carton on the scale, the weight of the carton will automatically appear in the Weight field. If you are not using Scale Settings, type the Weight for the first carton and press or click Enter. The screen requesting carton dimensions will appear.

   
   

   

   
   

5. Entering dimensions or selecting a predefined Carton Type is optional.
   - If you select a Carton Type from the drop-down menu, dimensions will be filled in for you.
   - If you enter dimensions or select a Carton Type, press or click Enter to move on.
   - If you do not want to enter dimensions or select a Carton Type, press or click Escape. 
   
   

   NOTE: The only Carton Types that will be available in the drop-down menu will be Carton Types that match the carrier service (e.g., USPS) on the order you are shipping (associating carriers to Carton Types is an option when creating carton types), and Carton Types that are not associated with any specific carrier.
   
   The "Building Carton No. 2" screen will appear. 
   

   
   

   
   
   

6. Continue to enter information for additional cartons as needed. When you are finished, press or click Escape. The Total Cartons screen will appear.
   
   

   

   
   

7. If you are finished, click Next and jump to Step #8. 
   If you want to add or remove cartons, or change the carrier, click the More button.
   
   

   
   
   - Click Add Carton to add another carton to the shipment.
   - Click Delete Carton to delete a carton from the shipment. You will be prompted to enter the Carton number to be deleted. NOTE: You can also delete a carton by clicking the X next to the carton listed under Total Cartons.
   - Click Change Carrier to change the carrier for the shipment. You will be prompted to select a Parcel Account (i.e., Fed Ex) and Service (i.e., 2-Day). After changing the information, click Next. If you decide not to change the carrier, click Cancel in the Change Carrier screen. This will cancel the carrier change, not the shipment.
   
   

8. After clicking Next in the Total Cartons screen, the Ready to Ship screen will appear.
   
   

   

   
   

9. If you have connected printer(s) and turned on Auto Print in Infoplus, parcel labels will automatically print at this point. A message under the "Ready to Ship" text will indicate the printing of labels. If you do not have Auto Print turned on and you want to print parcel labels, click the More button and select Print Labels. A separate browser window will open with the parcel label.

10. When you are ready to ship, click Next. A message at the top of the window will indicate the order was completed and the App will be ready for the next shipment. The completed order will now show a status of "Shipped" in Infoplus and the integrated Shipping program (Easy Post) will track the shipment.
