Exercise #6: Design a Mixed Pallet
TOPS Pro features a module known as MixPro Pallet, which allows you to
design a pallet for display with any number of different size boxes. In this
exercise, we're loading a pallet for shipment to a warehouse store, where
the pallet will be displayed directly on a busy aisle. This mixed pallet
load includes several shipcases of snack foods – 15 cases of chocolate
bars, 32 cases of peanut bars and 30 cases corn chips, all of which have
different shipcase dimensions.
To design a pallet for display, you'll start from the Control Panel and work
through four simple sets of procedures, in this order:
1. Select and define a pallet.
2. Create new shipcases.
3. Add the shipcases to the pick list.
4. Define the unitload (pallet) parameters.
Step 1: Select and Define a Pallet
