Palletizing Plans
The Palletizing Plans page shows the results of the palletizing calculation for all submitted orders. Orders can be submitted via the Orders page or through the REST-API interface.
The Palletizing Plan page consists of three areas:
- A list of orders on the left side
- A 3D visualization area on the right side
- A 2D layer pattern visualization area on the right side below the 3D visualization area
By clicking on the arrow of any order, a list unfolds and shows the individual calculated pallets for this order. For every order the pallet type and the number of layers are displayed. By clicking on a pallet the visualization of the pallet (3D) and the layers (2D) are triggered.
The list of orders can be filtered by populating the above fields with the respective values.
| Field | Explanation |
|---|---|
| Date | Show only those palletizing plans for the specified delivery date |
| Order ID | Show only the palletizing plan for an exactly specified order id |
| SSCC | Show only the palletizing plan in which this SSCC code is included |
| Pallet Type | Show only the palletizing plans which are palletized on the specified pallet type |
The orders can be sorted either by Delivery Date or by Order ID.
With several check boxes the display of the page can be modified:
| Checkbox | Explanation |
|---|---|
| Show layer information | Shows the 2D layer information below the 3D pallet |
| Show logo | Shows the customer logo on the individual packages |
| Show text | Shows the customer name on the individual packages |
| Show load volume | Shows a wire frame indicating how tall a pallet can be loaded depending on the pallet type |
Context Menu in Order List
With a right-click on a pallet in the order list the following context menu is displayed:
| Menu Item | Action |
|---|---|
| Copy SSCC to clipboard | Copies the SSCC code to the clipboard |
| Copy Order ID to clipboard | Copies the Order ID to the clipboard |
| Show Pallet in Pickstation | Shows the pallet in the Pickstation screen |
| Print Pallet Report PDF | Generates a multi-page PDF report for the selected pallet (see below) |
| Recalculate | Triggers a new calculation for the selected order (e.g. after master data changes) |
Pallet Report PDF
The PDF report is a multi-page A4 document containing all relevant information about a single pallet. An example report can be downloaded here: PalletReport_example.pdf
 Page 1 – 3D View |
 Page 2 – Article List |
 Page 3 – Layer Views |
 Page 4 – Stacking Matrix & Layer Summary |
Page 1 contains the company logo, application title, project name, Order ID, SSCC code, and a 3D screenshot of the pallet as shown in the interactive visualization.
Page 2 shows the article list – one row per article per layer, sorted by layer number and then article ID.
| Column | Description |
|---|---|
| Layer | Layer number (bottom = 1) |
| Pattern | Name of the layer pattern used |
| Art.ID | Article ID |
| Article Name | Article name as defined in the SKU Master |
| Pkg.ID | Package type ID |
| Package Name | Package type name |
| Qty | Number of cases in this layer for this article |
If the article list does not fit on page 1 together with the 3D view, it continues on a separate page.
Page 3 shows each layer as a 2D top-down view arranged in a 4-column grid. The label above each cell shows the layer number and the pattern name. Manual top-off layers are labelled "Manual".
Page 4 contains two tables:
Stacking Matrix – A pivot table showing the stacking cost for each combination of bottom and top layer pattern used in this pallet. Green cells indicate an enabled combination; grey cells indicate a disabled combination (marked with ✗).
Layer Summary – Lists every layer with its pattern name and the stacking cost applied when placing it on top of the previous layer.
| Column | Description |
|---|---|
| Layer | Layer number |
| Pattern | Pattern name (or "Manual" / "TML" for special layers) |
| Stacking Cost | Cost value from the stacking matrix (— for the first layer) |
