Classifications
Classifications allow an administrator to manage carton production based on predefined priorities. Typically, classifications are used to make sure that cartons are produced in a sequence that aligns with the product shipping schedule.
Classifications can be in the following states:
Expedite: These packages have a higher priority than any other classification.
Normal: These packages have a normal priority and will be produced after Expedited cartons, but before Last cartons.
Last: These packages have the lowest priority and will be produced after all Expedite and Normal cartons.
Stop: These packages will not be produced while in the stop state.
Although not all customers need or use classifications, they can be very helpful in managing carton production to make sure that cartons for products that ship first are created first, cartons for products that ship second are created second, and so on.
