Pallets (Admin Portal)

Overview

Pallets are typically used as a base for assembling, storing, and transporting goods within a warehouse or during shipment, allowing you to stack and handle them as a single unit load. Skustack's Pallet feature streamlines your operations and improves overall efficiency, allowing you to manage items by the pallet and eliminating the need for individual unit processing. Within the Skustack system, pallets are treated as distinct groups of units that are not associated with specific bins upon creation.

Creating Pallets individually is only possible through the Skustack application, while importing Pallets in bulk can be done through the Skustack Admin.

Manage Pallets

The Skustack Admin portal lets you easily search for existing Pallets or create new ones, print Pallet labels, and more.

Create Pallets

Creating a Pallet with product quantities and lots that are not currently in your inventory may be necessary prior to receiving PO pallets in your warehouse. This step serves as preparation ahead of the arrival of the PO, enabling the swift and easy receipt of items by the Pallet and eliminating the need for individual unit processing.

You can import Pallets in bulk using the Import Product Info tool:

1. Navigate to Products > Tools > Import Product Info.

2. Select Import Pallets.
   
   

   
   

3. Download a file template (available file formats are CSV, Excel, and Tab Delimited).
   
   

   
   

4. Populate the file columns for each imported product:

   1. Pallet Reference Number (required) - Mandatory field for pallet’s unique identifier in Skustack.

   2. Product ID (required) - Mandatory field. Enter the desired SKUs on separate rows.

   3. Lot Number - Optional field for the product’s Lot number. Required only when product’s IsExpirable is True.

   4. Expiry Date - Optional field for the product’s Expiry date. Required only when product’s IsExpirable is True.

   5. Serial Number - Optional field for the product’s Scan and Ship serial numbers. Required only when product’s RequireSerialNumberScanWhileShipping is True. Accepts multiple comma-separated values.

   6. Qty (required) - Mandatory field. Enter the respective product’s quantity to appear in the pallet.

5. Return to the Import Product Info tool, upload the file, and click Import.
   
   

   
   

A queued job will be created where you can monitor the task's status. Once completed successfully, the new pallet will be created and can be found in your Manage Pallets list.
