Creating a Repack Order

Introduction

A repack order records the process of consuming existing stock and producing new stock in a different format. This guide walks you through creating a new repack order, adding input and output products, and setting up any charges.

Finding Repack Orders

To access repack orders, go to Menu → Movements → Repacks. This opens the repack order list where you can search, filter by customer, date range, or status, and create new orders.

Creating a New Order

From the repack list, click the Create New button.
A form will open with the following sections:

Order Details

Site — If your company has multiple warehouse sites, select the site where the repack will take place. If you only have one site, this is selected automatically.
Customer — Start typing to search for the customer this repack is for. This is required.
Reference — An optional reference for the repack (e.g., a works order number).
Expected Date — The date the repack is planned for.
Notes — Any additional information about the repack. These are visible to warehouse operators on the mobile app.
Repack Type — Optionally select a repack type to categorise the order (see Managing Repack Types). The type's colour is shown as a badge for easy identification.

Input Products

These are the products being consumed from existing stock.

Click Add Input Product to add a line.
Select the product and enter the quantity (in inner units) to be consumed.
Repeat for each input product.
At least one input product is required.

Remember: quantities are in inner units. If you are consuming 5 boxes that each contain 20 items, and the inner quantity is 20, you would enter 100.

Output Products

These are the new products being created from the repack.

Click Add Output Product to add a line.
Select the product and enter the quantity (in inner units) to be produced.
You can also enter a batch reference for the new stock. If left blank, the repack order number will be used as the batch reference.
Repeat for each output product.
At least one output product is required.

Charges (optional)

If there are costs associated with the repack (e.g., labour, materials, packaging), you can add them during creation:

Click Add Charge.
Enter a description, quantity, and unit cost.
The line total is calculated automatically.
You can add multiple charges.

Once all details are entered, click Save to create the order.

What Happens Next

Your new repack order is created with a status of Pending. The order number will be in the format RP-XXXXX (e.g., RP-12345) and a QR code is generated for the order.

From here, the next steps are:

Process the input lines — Allocate existing stock items to be consumed (see Processing a Repack — Input Lines).
Process the output lines — Create the new stock items being produced (see Processing a Repack — Output Lines).

Both sides need to be fully processed before the order can be completed.

Editing an Order After Creation

While the order is in Pending or In Progress status, you can:

Update the reference, date, notes, site, and repack type from the order view.
Add more lines — Add additional input or output products using the Add Line buttons.
Remove lines — Remove any line that hasn't been processed yet (no items allocated or created).
Manage charges — Add, edit, or remove charges at any time until the order is invoiced.
Upload documents — Attach files to the order for reference.

Quick Tips

The input and output products don't have to be the same — a repack can convert one product into a completely different one.
You can also create and process repack orders from the warehouse mobile app (see Repacks on the Warehouse App).
Use repack types to keep your orders organised, especially if you run different kinds of repack operations regularly.
