Introduction
The Loading Unit module allows the operator to manage loading units, their creation, movement within the warehouse, and their sale. Loading Units can be created manually or via WMS Mobile. Typically, Loading Units are used by companies that manage the warehouse in pallets or by those that create a shipping Loading Unit containing all the items to be shipped during the sales process.

Loading Unit Picking List / Packing List
Offers an innovative method for managing the picking of loading units, as opposed to the traditional picking procedure based on individual items. This functionality is particularly useful when shipping goods to a customer, allowing for the grouping of items within predefined loading units.
