Abstract: A system and method of processing orders comprises receiving an order for at least one item, planning the order including enabling a computer system to select a container size for storing the at least one item, and overriding the container size selected by the computer system by manually determining and selecting a container having a size different than the container size selected by the computer system to store the at least one item. An override input indicating the container size of the manually determined and selected container is provided to the computer system. The computer system automatically selects a container size equal to the container size indicated in the override input during the planning of subsequent orders if the package size of items are equal to that of the first order.

Abstract: A system for and method of managing product shipment comprises installing a host computer and first communication port coupled to the host computer at a first warehouse. A second communication port is installed at a second warehouse remote from the first warehouse to establish data communication with the first communication port. An rf system is operatively coupled to the second communication port for reading product data and communicating product data to the host computer through the first and second communication ports so that the system can identify products to be shipped from the remote warehouse and verify the shipping accuracy irrespective of how the storage or receipt of the products is tracked.
