Which settings send a unit to a pack station

What this shows. The settings that decide whether picked goods are delivered to a pack station and wait for packing.

There are two paths: a carrier (cart) with boxes, and a closed discrete pallet.

How to read it​

SettingWhereEffect
CompletionPicking policyComplete: the cart is unloaded where it stands, never routed. Confirm at the drop location: the router is asked at start.
Pack stationWork area card (pack_station_location)Must be a location of type Pack. Empty means no routing for that area.
Pallet Drop Cell TypesPicking policy for discrete palletsAsked at the first deposit only if the list holds Pack. The list is read from the revision frozen on the pallet.
Zone of the drop locationLocation's putaway zone and the work areas that list that zoneExactly one distinct station must answer. Two different stations or none gives no routing.

What you see: the station's queue (packing_queue_list, asked on RF screen PACK00 and shown on PACK01) lists the unit with its box label and order number. A box or pallet that was not routed does not appear in any queue.

Not built​

Consolidation, staging and shipping are not routed. A unit that finishes Pack is Completed. See 00.
