How to scan AWBs and pack orders in easySales

By easySales Team · Updated 11 Jun 2026 · 2 min read

AWB scanning lets your warehouse team verify and pack orders by scanning the barcode on the shipping label. The right order opens instantly, products are checked off as you scan them, and the order is marked packed automatically. This guide covers where to find the scanner, how packing works, and how it ties into processing groups.

In a busy warehouse, the costly mistakes happen at the packing bench: the wrong item in the box, or the right box sent to the wrong customer. AWB scanning closes that gap. Your team scans the barcode on the shipping label, the matching order opens on screen, and every product is checked off as it goes into the parcel.

What AWB scanning does

Scanning the AWB barcode matches the parcel to its order and walks the packer through it. It works with standard barcode scanners and plugs straight into processing groups for high-volume dispatch.

Open Scan → Packing and scan the AWB barcode on the shipping label.

Scan, verify, pack

  1. Scan the AWB barcode on the shipping label — the matching order opens. easySales matches it against the AWB it stored for that order, so the right parcel always opens.
  2. Use the warehouse column to see the aisle and row where each product sits.
  3. Scan each product's EAN; the remaining quantity counts down and the line turns green when it reaches zero.

Frequently asked questions

In the left-hand menu, open the Scan section (the barcode-scanner icon) and choose Packing.

The order opens when the scanned barcode matches the AWB easySales stored on it. If nothing opens, make sure the AWB was generated in easySales for that order. With some couriers the printed label carries a longer barcode than the stored one (it adds a parcel suffix) — easySales still matches it by prefix, but a totally different barcode won't resolve, so scan the label whose AWB lives on the order.

As you scan a product's EAN, its remaining quantity counts down and the line turns green when it reaches zero. When every line is green, the order is fully scanned.

When you press Finish Scan, the order is flagged as Packed, so the rest of the team can see what's ready to ship. It's a packed flag on the order, not a change to its order status.

The warehouse column shows the aisle and row for a product only when that product has its location set; otherwise the cell is blank. Add the location on your products so pickers can find them quickly during scanning.

Yes. Scanning is built into processing groups, so you can pick and pack a whole batch of orders in one continuous flow instead of opening each order separately.
