Box Content - Assign/Remove Items in Bulk

When you are entering Box Content information, you can Assign or Remove items from a box in bulk.

Assign to a Box

Your first box is automatically created for you, but in case it was deleted or was not created, you can do so manually if required. 

If you need to create a box, click + New

Click the check box to the left of the items you want to include in your box. You can also click on the top checkbox to select all of the items in your shipment as shown below:

Once a check box is selected, you will see some new buttons appear called Assign to a Box and Remove from a Box

Choose the Assign to a Box and a list of available boxes will show for you to pick from. Pick the box you want all of your selected items to be assigned to and click the Assign button

You will now see that the items have been assigned to the selected box all at once

Copying Existing Boxes

Another way to assign in bulk is by copying boxes. If you need to create multiple boxes with the same items, copying boxes may save you some time!

Empty boxes cannot be copied.

To copy a box, click the action button next to the box name and select Copy Box from the drop-down menu.

You will be asked how many copies of this box would you like to make.

InventoryLab will determine the maximum amount of exact copies it can make based on the unassigned contents of the items in the shipment divided by the assigned items in the box to be copied.

The default value will be the maximum number of exact boxes that can be copied, but you can change the value manually if needed. The value must be greater than 0. If you attempt to change the value to something higher than the maximum number of exact boxes that can be copied, you will see a warning message.

After clicking OK, you’ll see a message letting you know the boxes are being copied.

Remove from a Box

Click the check box to the left of the items you want to Remove from your box. You can also click on the top checkbox to select all of the items in your shipment as shown below:

Once a check box is selected, you will see some new buttons appear called Assign to a Box and Remove from a Box

Choose the Remove from a Box and a popup will appear making sure you’d like to remove the selected items from their boxes. To continue with the removal, click Yes:

Removing A Box

If you need to remove a box, you can click the action button next to the box name and select Remove Box

A pop-up will appear to make sure the box should be Removed. If the box contained any items, those items will need to be reassigned to a new box.
