Manage Brand Owners

Use this feature to add any brand owners of packaging that you use. Each Brand Owner has a unique GS1 Company Prefix that gets incorporated into the pallet tag SSCC serial number for traceability purposes. Brand Owners can be created by each user, or automatically imported in when connecting to another companies product list(s).

Manage Brands

Use this feature to add any brands of packaging that you use. Each Brand is linked to a brand owner and is used to filter your product list by brand to more easily found the product you want to create labels for.

Settings

The Settings page contains your companies information that is used on some of the different PTI label templates. From here, you can choose to share your product list with other companies, and also set a password for that product list so only verified users can access your products. You can also choose to accept ASN Data from other companies that are packing product using your brands. You can also create and manage additional users for your myPTI account.

The "User Settings" section allows you to select a default printer for your case and and pallet tags and print test labels to assure proper connection with your printers. It is ideal to have two seperate label printers, one for the case labels and one for the pallet tags, however, just one printer will work. You also set your default printer brands, dpi, and template so you don't have to select these every time you want to print labels. There are also options to use a Harvest date instead of a pack date, rotate the case labels vertically, and also add your company logo that is used on the custom BOL if you decide to use that option.

The "Product Lists" tab allows you to connect to other companies product lists that you pack product for.

ASN Data (Advanced Shipment Notice)

All ASN customer produce shipments now require the packer or the sales organization to send an ASN (Advanced Shipment Notice) manifest to the customer prior to the order being delivered at a Distribution Center. Each ASN manifest contains the pallet tag information and serial number data of each pallet. ASN Customers use this information in the ASN manifest and compares it to the actually pallet tag data on the truck at arrival to assure that no tampering was done to the load during delivery. (See tutorial video for more detailed instructions on this topic).

If you are a sales organization, or just have other companies packing product under your brand, and you need to send ASN manifests to Walmart, each packer can upload their ASN Data to you for processing.

Manage Labels

Once case labels and pallet tags are printed, you can manage them. The different types of things to manage include:

• Change the Pack Date
• Change the Ship Date
• Reprint case labels
• Reprint pallet tags
• Remove a pallet from the itinerary

Pack Sequence

The Pack Sequence form allows you to view all the product orders for a specific day all on one screen. The products can be either sorted by product name, or by order number. This is specifically useful for packing managers to be able to see what needs to be packed for the day. Once a specific product has been packed, a manager can then mark that product as "Packed". The shipping department can also mark these products and "Shipped". This way, somebody in the office (not in the warehouse or shipping area) can see what has already been packed and shipped, and what is still needed.
