Pack station

A React block (a whole screen) in Beamline's Inventory app.

A packing bench. Scanner, scale and printer each said, on the warning tone when away. Find the shipment by scanning or typing its number (none found said). Its items are scanned through scan-flow, worded as a verification: each scan fills its line, a wrong or unknown code is refused where it was scanned, a count can be set by hand; the lines left can be verified by hand, recorded with who did it. Verified says how (all scanned, or so many lines by hand) and that verifying changes no stock. Then the label: weight from the scale with when it was read (or typed when the scale is away), package, service with its price and days and the customer's choice said, Buy the label with the price; a refusal (a quote expired) is said and nothing is bought. A bought label shows its carrier and tracking, prints, and offers Reprint, which prints the same label; a shipment found already labelled skips verification and offers Reprint, never a second label.

Use it for

A packing or dispatch bench: verify what's in the box against the order, then buy and print the label.
Where verifying must never imply stock moves or a second label.

Not for

Picking across bins (scan-station).
Splitting an order into shipments (shipment-split).

Anatomy

header: the tool's mark, Pack, scanner, scale and printer
find: shipment number or barcode, Find, none found
items: the shipment, scan-flow worded as verification, the lines left with Verify by hand, verified and how
label: weight, package, service, Buy; or carrier, tracking, prints, Print or Reprint

States

nothing on the bench, none found, mid-scan, a wrong code, verified by scanning or partly by hand
label locked until verified, quote expired, bought, printed, reprinted, already labelled
scanner, scale or printer away
phone: one column
right to left: mirrored
reduced motion: through the tokens

Keyboard

The scan field takes a scanner's Enter; Tab through find, the lines, Verify by hand and the label's fields

Motion

Scans move through scan-flow's own motion; nothing runs at rest.

A packing bench.

Packing a shipment, mid-scan

The tent and two of the four gas canisters are scanned. Scan the rest (5060012345688 for a canister, 5060012345695 for a mug), or verify the lines left by hand, which records who did it. A wrong code, such as 5060012345664 for the 450 g canister, is refused where it was scanned. Once every item is verified, the label opens with the scale's weight.

States

A shipment already labelled offers Reprint, never a second label. With nothing on the bench, find a shipment such as S-77120. The scale and printer can be away. A quote can expire when the label is bought.
