Merging industrial packs in the Traece™ Field App allows you to combine two or more packs of dimensional lumber into a single pack, streamlining your inventory management. This feature is particularly useful for consolidating materials with similar characteristics, reducing inventory clutter, and maximizing storage efficiency.
Here’s a guide on how to merge industrial packs using the Traece™ Field App.
Merge Packs
To begin the merging process:
Click on Inventory in the Navigation Bar
Click on Industrial Packs
Select the pack you want to merge
Click on the Actions icon (the three dots)
Click on Merge Pack
Material Information (Step 1/2)
You will land on the Material Information page
Click on Merged into Pack to select the pack you want to merge into, and click Select
Alternatively, use the Scan button to scan the tag of the pack you want to merge into
Note: You can only merge packs that share the same species, thickness, and grade.
Click Next Step to proceed
Merge Information (Step 2/2)
Review and confirm the merge information. You can update specific details of the pack depending on the contents being merged. This includes adjusting certain dimensions, tags, characters, and barcodes to ensure the merged pack accurately reflects the combined materials.
Note: If you merge packs with differing dimensions—such as average board widths, average board lengths, pack widths, or the number of rows—a Recalculate button may appear when you attempt to update the pack dimensions. This button will only be seen in certain situations where recalculation is needed. When it appears, you must select which dimension to recalculate to accurately reflect the correct available board feet of the merged packs.
Note: After merging the packs, the original packs will be archived automatically. The location and status of the pack that absorbed the other packs will remain unchanged.
Confirm the Merge
Click Merge Pack to complete the merging process.
Important Note: Editing Restrictions After Merging
Once packs have been merged, split, or partially sold, you will not be able to edit any of the dimensions of the packs. Ensure all information is correct before completing these actions to maintain accurate records and inventory control.
By following these steps, you can efficiently merge packs in the Traece™ Field App for better inventory management.
