Multi-parcel shipping with weclapp: scan the carton, one label per parcel

Scan the carton, assign the items, done: every parcel gets its own label, and weclapp gets all parcels back.

Large orders rarely fit into a single parcel. With the carton scan in Fulfillment 4 weclapp, you first scan the carton, then the items that go into it; at the next carton, the next parcel begins. Every parcel gets its own shipping label, weight and dimensions come from the carton item, and weclapp receives all parcels individually with a tracking number. How this works together with quantity and weight limits and where the carriers play along, you can read here.

How it works

01

Scan the carton

The carton is an item in weclapp with its own EAN. The scan opens a new parcel; the app takes dimensions and weight from the carton item. For standard cases, you store a default carton per shipping method, which is pre-filled and overwritten by a scan.

02

Scan items

All following item scans end up in this parcel. If the maximum quantity per parcel for an item is reached or the maximum weight per parcel is exceeded, the app asks for the next carton or automatically creates a new parcel. Carrier and small parcel rules warn you if cheaper shipping would be possible.

03

Next carton

Scan a new carton, keep packing. An empty parcel cannot be skipped; the app points this out.

04

Ship

One label is created per parcel, if you like already when the next carton starts. weclapp gets the parcels back individually with tracking numbers.

Who it's for

B2B shipping with many lines

B2B shippers with sales orders over many lines that are split across several parcels or pallets.

Heavy and bulky items

Shops with bulky or heavy items, where the carrier's weight limits determine how parcels are split.

Carton stock in weclapp

Businesses that manage their carton stock in weclapp and want to book it out automatically when shipping.

Limits, honestly

Cartons as items

Cartons must be created as items with an EAN in the weclapp article category "Versandmaterial". If you want to manage carton stock, you switch on "Stock tracking for cartons"; the app then books the cartons out of the selected warehouse when shipping.

Individually packed items

Items that are packed individually according to the master data are automatically split into their own parcels by the app.

Item scan first

The carton scan requires the item scan. Without EAN confirmation of the items, there is no parcel assignment.

Frequently asked questions

How does the app know the weight and dimensions of the parcels?

From the carton item in weclapp plus the item weights of the assigned line items, optionally plus a packaging weight per shipping method. You can correct deviations before shipping.

Can I repack a parcel afterwards?

As long as the delivery has not been shipped, you reset the progress and scan again. After shipping, labels can only be created again with the setting "Allow duplicate shipping".

What about pallets and SSCC?

SSCC pallet labels are created by the carrier integration, for example with Gebrüder Weiss, Dachser, or Swiss Post Cargo. The carton scan supplies the packages for this.
