Associate Workflow - Prep +Pack

The Prep + Pack functionality in Hopstack allows you to handle both individual and bundled products efficiently, including prep instructions and FNSKU label management — all directly from the packing screen.

✅ This new workflow eliminates the need to prep items separately in a different step. You can now handle prepping and packing in one place, making the process faster and more seamless.

🔹 Step 1: Select Packing Options

Navigate to the packing screen.
Choose your packing method as usual.
Add the box details — you can create single or multiple boxes depending on your shipment.
Once the box is added, you'll be able to add items into it.

🔹 Step 2: Adding Items to a Box

You can add items to the box in three ways:

✅ Method 1: Manual Entry / Scanning

Enter the SKU or UPC code in the input field.
The system fetches:
- Prep instructions
- Option to download FNSKU labels
- Field to adjust the quantity going into the box
Save the item into the box.

This is primarily for standalone (non-bundled) products.

🔹 Step 3: Handling Bundled Products

When dealing with bundles, the flow adjusts to ensure all components are verified:

Select a group that contains bundled items.
The system will show:
- Product details
- Prep instructions
- Option to download FNSKU (only after component verification)

🧩 Bundle Workflow:

The system prompts you to scan each component of the bundle.
You must verify the required quantity per component.
Once components are scanned and confirmed:
- You can download or print the FNSKU labels.

🔹 Step 4: Additional FNSKU Label Actions

There are multiple places from where you can download/print FNSKU labels:

Option 1: While Adding Items to the Box

Scan the bundle component
Confirm the bundle
Print/download the FNSKU label

Option 2: While Editing Items Inside a Box

You can:
- Download FNSKU
- Print FNSKU
- Delete item from the box
Prep instructions are visible at this stage as well for quick reference
