Pallet management

Pallets allow you to group stock together, which can then be delivered and moved as one item, helping to streamline your stock management.

Pallets can be assembled in two ways, either manually or automatically, when packaging (racking) new stock.

To assemble a pallet manually, head to Production -> View -> Pallets, and click Assemble pallet. Select which location you are assembling your pallet into, and Breww will create an empty pallet for you.

To add stock to this new pallet, click Actions -> Add items to pallet, and select the product, batch and quantity to add.

You can remove stock from a pallet as long as it's not assigned to a delivery by clicking the Remove from pallet button next to the relevant stock in the pallet's Contents section.

If you are packaging stock and adding it to pallets as you go, Breww can automatically assemble your stock onto pallets for you. This means when you're done, you can simply print your pallet barcodes and stick them onto the appropriate pallet.

To do this, simply fill in the Number of products per pallet field when going through the packaging process with the number of this product you will add to each pallet. Breww will then create the required number of pallets and add the stock that has just been packaged.

If you are scanning containers or reserved non-returnable numbers when packaging, Breww will assemble them onto the pallets in the order that they were scanned. This makes it easy to ensure that the contents of your pallets in Breww match exactly with the pallets you've assembled.

If you have scanned some containers and in addition entered a "Number of non-returnable containers packaged", the new non-returnable (NR) container codes generated will be assembled on to the final pallets (i.e. Breww build pallets with scanned containers first, then assembles the NRs generated during the racking process onto pallets).

You can print labels for an individual pallet by going to the pallet and clicking the Print label button or for all of your pallets by going to Production -> View -> Pallets -> Actions -> Print all labels. They can also be printed immediately after packaging directly onto pallets from the packaging confirmation page.

Pallet labels contain the barcode that can be used to scan the pallet onto deliveries and site transfers, as well as a summary of its contents.

You can scan pallets onto a delivery or site transfer in the same way you can with containers and non-returnables. When scanning the container barcodes, simply scan the pallet barcode.

You can also manually assign a pallet to a delivery by clicking the Assign pallets button on the delivery page. This will show you all the pallets that could be used to fulfil this order.

As well as scanning pallets onto site transfers, you can manually move a pallet by going to Production -> View -> Pallets -> Actions -> Move pallets, selecting the pallets moved and the location you've moved them to.
