# MANUALLY DE-KITTING A LOGISTIC UNIT ON THE PDA

## This tutorial guides you through breaking down a logistic unit into consumer sales units from your PDA.

 

### **Benefits of the feature ✨**

- **Logistics flexibility:** Quickly convert your grouped packaging into individual units according to your shipping needs.
- **Optimized stock:** Readjust the availability of your individual products in real time to avoid stockouts.
- **Time savings:** Carry out the operation directly in the aisle without going through the Shippingbo web interface.

 

### 1. Prerequisites

- This feature requires PCB to be enabled, which is set up by following the dedicated tutorial: **[ENABLE PCB](https://knowledge.shippingbo.com/activer-le-pcb?hsLang=fr)**.
- As this feature requires PCB, it requires the use of a configured PDA
  
  ➡️ More information on PDA setup here: **[INSTALL THE SHIPPINGBO APPLICATION ON PDA](https://knowledge.shippingbo.com/installer-lapplication-shippingbo-sur-pda#4-activation-et-configuration)**.
- The logistic unit (UL) to de-kit must first be created and stored in a location in your warehouse.

 

### 2. How de-kitting a UL on the PDA works

De-kitting lets you break down a logistic unit (UL) in order to return its consumer sales units (UVC) to available stock.

Let's assume:  
**- a logistic unit HISTO-6** that contains **6 units** of the UVC (sku product) **HISTO-FIR**.  
\- Several HISTO-6 logistic units stored in location E-26 

 

**2.1 Access the de-kitting menu**

1. On your PDA, in the Shippingbo application, go to the **Stock management** menu:
   
   ![](https://knowledge.shippingbo.com/hs-fs/hubfs/image-png-Sep-01-2026-02-26-01-3435-PM.png?width=285&height=433&name=image-png-Sep-01-2026-02-26-01-3435-PM.png)
2. Click on the **De-kitting** section:  
   ![](https://knowledge.shippingbo.com/hs-fs/hubfs/image-png-Sep-01-2026-02-26-51-5735-PM.png?width=285&height=436&name=image-png-Sep-01-2026-02-26-51-5735-PM.png)

 

**2.2 De-kit the UL**

1. Scan the barcode of the **Logistic Unit (UL)** that you want to de-kit:
   
   ![](https://knowledge.shippingbo.com/hs-fs/hubfs/image-png-Sep-02-2026-12-36-03-1617-PM.png?width=285&height=436&name=image-png-Sep-02-2026-12-36-03-1617-PM.png)

**💬 Good to know:**

You can either **scan the UL** or **scan the UVC**. If you scan the UVC, Shippingbo asks you which UL you want to de-kit:

![](https://knowledge.shippingbo.com/hs-fs/hubfs/image-png-Sep-02-2026-12-38-33-6873-PM.png?width=285&height=431&name=image-png-Sep-02-2026-12-38-33-6873-PM.png)

      2.   Scan the **location** where the resulting UVC will be stored:

![](https://knowledge.shippingbo.com/hs-fs/hubfs/image-png-Sep-01-2026-02-35-19-9957-PM.png?width=285&height=433&name=image-png-Sep-01-2026-02-35-19-9957-PM.png)

**⭐ Key point:**

You can store the UVC in the same location as the original UL or choose a new dedicated picking location.

If you want to de-kit a logistic unit and store it in the same location as the other logistic units, make sure you have checked **Multi-Product** in the location configuration: 

![](https://knowledge.shippingbo.com/hs-fs/hubfs/image-png-Sep-01-2026-02-47-13-3544-PM.png?width=670&height=305&name=image-png-Sep-01-2026-02-47-13-3544-PM.png)

➡️ Checking this option will allow both logistic units and UVC to be stored in the location.

       3.   Then scan the number of logistic units to de-kit:   
![](https://knowledge.shippingbo.com/hs-fs/hubfs/image-png-Sep-01-2026-02-39-06-6491-PM.png?width=285&height=433&name=image-png-Sep-01-2026-02-39-06-6491-PM.png)      4.   Confirm the operation by clicking on **Validate**. The scanned UL is then dissolved and the UVC are added to the stock of the selected                    location.

**💬 Good to know:**

Breaking down the UL immediately updates the stock levels in your WMS. The UVC created can be reserved immediately for your orders awaiting preparation.

 

### 3. Enabling de-kitting on the PDA

This feature is available as soon as the PCB option is enabled.

➡️ More information in the dedicated tutorial: **[ENABLE PCB](https://knowledge.shippingbo.com/activer-le-pcb?hsLang=fr)**.

 

 

### 4. Practical example

You have a carton (UL) containing 12 bottles of olive oil (UVC) located in location **A-02-01**. Today's orders require individual shipments.

From your PDA, go to **Stock management \> De-kitting**. Scan the barcode of the UL, then scan the destination location **A-02-01** (or a picking location such as **PICK-01**) and validate. The UL disappears from the inventory and 12 UVC units are immediately available for picking.

 

**⚒️ Framework and responsibilities:**

 Before fully using the feature described in this tutorial, we strongly recommend running **a test phase** with your own settings to check that the result matches your expectations. As the customer remains **fully responsible** for the actions carried out in the Shippingbo account, these tests are essential to use the tool with complete peace of mind.
