Master boxes: Definition and configuration

A Master Box is a box that groups multiple products under a single barcode. By scanning this code, the system automatically identifies all products and their quantities, allowing you to register multiple items with a single scan, rather than one by one.

This mechanism is available in three processes of the fulfillment flow:

Process	What is it for?
Reception	Register the entry of multiple products from a box in a single scan.
Picking	Select all products in a box at the same time during order preparation.
Packing	Automatically assign products from a box to a shipping carton during packing.

⚠️ Important: Before using a Master Carton in any of these processes, you must first configure it in the platform. Without this configuration, the system will not recognize the barcode as a Master Checkout.

What do you need before you start?

• Access to the Inventory on the Fulfillment platform.
• The barcode that will identify the Master Box.
• The name descriptive for the grouping.
• The products (with their quantities) that make up the box.

Configuring a Master Box

Access the barcode grouping section.

From the main menu, go to: Inventory → Stocks → Bar code grouping..

Here you will find the list of all the Master Boxes already configured in your account.

2. Create a new grouping

Click on the button “Add group”.

A form will open where you will have to fill in:

Field	Description
Barcode	The unique code that will identify this Master Box when scanning.
Name	A descriptive name to easily identify the grouping.

3. Assign the products

Within the same form, add the products that make up the Master Carton:

1. Search and select each product.
2. Indicates the quantity of each contained in the box.
3. Repeat the process until all the necessary products are added.
4. Click “Save” to register the Master Box.

Important notes

• You can set up as many Master Boxes as you need, as long as each one has a unique barcode.
• If you scan a code that is not configured as a Master Box, the system will process it as an individual product.
• To modify or delete an existing grouping, access again to Inventory → Stocks → Bar code grouping. and select the corresponding grouping.
