    Configuring scales in JTL-WMS and JTL-Packing Bench Setting the use of scales in the shipping methods

    General info

    When a shipping method has been preset for the goods issue process or when you choose a shipping method for which the option Measure weight with connected scale is enabled, you need to determine and record the total package weight in goods issue with a connected scale to complete the goods issue process.

    Scale malfunction: In case of a communication error between the scale and JTL-WMS or JTL-PackingBench, please check whether the scale is switched on. Should the scale be defective, remove the scale from the workstation settings on your packing bench by selecting None as the scale type. After the scale has been removed from the workstation settings, the weight stated in the item master data is used to calculate the total package weight. If the weight is not stated in the item master data, you need to record the weight manually.

    In JTL-WMS, there is a real-time view of the weight currently being recorded by the scale in all goods issue dialogue boxes (A). The display is positioned at roughly the same spot in all goods issue processes of JTL-WMS and JTL-PackingBench, i.e. in the upper right corner of the respective goods issue dialogue box.

    Determining the shipping weight in goods issue

    1. Enter the goods issue for the item and put it on the scale.

    The current weight is displayed in both the live view (marked with A in the below screenshot) and the input field (marked with B).

    Entering the weight of another package: When you add another package to a sales order, the weight is entered separately for each package. The weight of the first package is saved when you click Add package.

    A: Live view of measured weight: This is where the weight currently measured by the scale is displayed.

    B: Weight input field: The determined weight is pasted into this field. If no scale is connected, enter the weight into the field manually.

    C: Shipping method (can be changed manually): This is where the preset shipping method is displayed. The shipping method can be manually changed in the drop-down menu.

    1. Once you have entered all items and have weighed your package(s), click on Pack.

    The goods issue process is complete. The weight is copied to the delivery note in the Packages panel.

    You can also access the weight in the customer master data in the Package tab at any time.
