Orderwerks has 2 different processes available for Pick-Pack for users. There is a simple, non-saved Pick-Pack feature which doesn’t enforce any details, and is more meant to be utilized by businesses that aren’t interested in more detailed Pick-Pack features. This is the default for accounts.Our more robust offering is the Pick-Pack Module that you can enable and which allows further options such as specifying Lots for Packing List Items and Carton Counts for Packing Lists.
