Wholesale orders, cartons and pallets

Ship business orders in cartons and pallets, with GST invoices, e-invoice and e-way bill files.

Please reach out to your account manager to enable B2B cartons and wholesale orders for your company.

Overview

Wholesale orders are business orders shipped in cartons and pallets, with SSCC labels, a GST invoice and the e-invoice and e-way bill file for the government portal.

Why use it

  • Sell to businesses from the same stock.
  • Label cartons and pallets to GS1 standards.
  • Prepare e-invoice and e-way bill data without retyping.

Before you begin

  • The B2B cartons add-on is enabled.
  • Your GS1 company prefix is entered in Settings → Stock → Cartons.

Buyers and wholesale orders

Business buyers expect cartons, pallets, SSCC labels and an e-invoice, not parcels. The B2B cartons add-on brings all of that to the same stock and the same warehouse floor you already use. Your O2M account manager can switch it on.

Available with the B2B cartons add-on.

Business orders from your channels (Shopify company orders, Amazon Business) are marked as wholesale when imported.

Cartons and pallets

  • Set each item's pack on the item page: units per carton, cartons per pallet, carton weight, size and barcode.
  • Each parcel of a wholesale order is a carton with an SSCC number. Enter your GS1 company prefix in Settings → Stock → Cartons.
  • Full sealed cartons are packed in one step; loose units at the pack station.
  • Carton labels (PDF or ZPL) and a packing list per carton.
  • Pallets group cartons for one buyer and delivery PIN code, are closed with a weight, and get their own SSCC, label and packing list.
  • One scan of a carton receives, counts or packs all its units; scanning a carton or pallet on a manifest hands over everything on it.

Invoice, e-invoice and e-way bill

One tax invoice covers the order's packed cartons, with the buyer's details, the discount on every line and freight as a line. O2M creates the JSON file the government e-invoice portal accepts for bulk upload (with the e-way bill part when you enter a distance). After uploading it, enter the IRN, acknowledgement and e-way bill number in O2M; they are printed on the invoice.
