The Dock Services (DS) mechanisation project requires (international) growers that import via Dock Services from 2024 to:
sticker their boxes with QRcoded labels
deliver a uniform packing list which meets the mechanisation projects requirements
This help-centre article describes how to
Print batch stickers with QR code
Create a goods movement delivery
Generate the uniform packing list
Print Batch Stickers with QR code
Create a batch in Floriday by choosing 'Supply', 'Stock' and create batches:
Select the trade items from your catalogue for which you want to create batches. Make sure to select the correct packing configuration (either 999 or 884 Rosebox) and correct pieces/stems per box then Insert the number of packages. Click 'Confirm'.
If you need to update your catalogue with trade items or packing configurations, please read this article on managing your catalogue and managing your packing configurations.
You have now created batches which have a unique Batch Reference (e.g. 9100053703647) which will also show on the sticker.
Select one or more batches and select 'Print' in the green banner at the bottom of the screen.
Choose 'Print QR Stickers'
You can now download the PDF Batch Stickers or Print the stickers from this page if your label printer is connected to Floriday.
The unique batch reference number is visible on the sticker.
Create a goods movement delivery
Select the batches which you want to include in your delivery and select 'Create Delivery' in the green banner at the bottom of the screen
Choose option 'Move'
Complete the fields in the goods movement delivery order:
for delivery location, choose your unpackers/agents warehouse location. If you don't see that option, please contact your unpacker/agent and request them to give you access to deliver to their warehouse.
in the reference field, you can include the shipment/pack list number
Confirm the delivery and choose to fulfil the delivery.
Step 3
Generate the uniform packing list
If you have not chosen to fulfil the delivery when you created it in step 2, you can find the delivery in Fulfilment > Fulfilment Orders.
In the Order Fulfillment screen you can:
choose to delete all load carriers because this is not relevant for your delivery
drag trade items from left to right if you want to include or exclude them from this delivery
Change or rearrange the order of the trade items if needed (the trade items will appear on the packing list in the same order that you see them in this screen)
Add or change the shipment number if you did not include this in the previous step by clicking on the 3 dots behind the product and choose 'add service code'.
Save and Submit the delivery. You can download the packing list by clicking on the option Packing List in the top right corner. If you do not see this option, please contact Support@Floriday.io and request to give you access to the feature 'Packing List'.
When downloading the packing list, the following details are required to be filled:
Sorting Profile. You can fill the sorting profile in settings > preferences. Choose the 'packing list preferences' to configure the required sorting profile. Ask your agent/unpacker to provide you this information.
Agent: Select the name and nummer of your agent/unpacker. Ask your agent/unpacker if you're not sure which number to use.
Freight Forwarder: Select your Freight Forwarder.
Save and Send the downloaded packing list by email to Importpre-Info@royalfloraholland.com.
Tips
External warehouse overview
If you return to Supply > Stock after processing the delivery order, you will see that an External warehouse (the blue warehouse) is visible.
By clicking on the external warehouse, you as a supplier can keep track of the batches that you have moved to that external warehouse.
In this overview you can see that batches are in transit. This status lasts until the batch has been signed in by your logistical agent.
Adding a destination to a batch
You can specify a certain auction location or date to the batch. Select the batch(es) and choose 'Edit destination' in the green banner at the bottom of the screen
Edit the destination and save
The batches are now allocated with a auction location and date information, which can be useful information for your unpacker/agent.
Combining batches
You can combine batches of the same trade items if the trade items have the same characteristics and packing configuration. The 2 batches will be combined into 1 batch. This is useful to avoid multiple lines of the same product on the packing list.
To combine a batch select the batches that you want to combine and click on Transform.
Choose the option 'combine batches'
In the Combine batch overview you can choose to create a new batch, with a new unique batch reference, or you can choose to combine the batches with one of the existing batch reference numbers.
