Command barcodes allow warehouse operators to execute specific actions in the ShipHero Wholesale interface by scanning a printed code. This streamlines the packing process by reducing the need for manual keyboard or mouse interaction.
Key actions include:
- Adding or removing products to a box or pallet LPN.
- Adding pallet or box LPNs to the packing layout.
- Adjusting the weight and dimensions of your boxes and pallets.

Example Workflow: Adding Items to a Pallet LPN
Follow these steps to add products to a pallet using a barcode scanner:
- Scan the Pallet LPN to identify the specific pallet you are working on.
- Scan the "Add +" command barcode to put the system into Add mode.
- Scan the SKU(s) to select the product from the list. Quantities are confirmed in a later step.
- Scan the "OK/Confirm" command barcode to validate the selection.
- Scan a Packaging Command — select "One SKU in new package", "Multiple SKU in new package", or "In the same package".
- Scan the SKU(s) again to increment the physical quantity being packed.
- Scan the box barcode to assign the items to a specific container.
- Scan the "OK/Confirm" command barcode to save progress and complete the action.
