Section 4: Editing a Container & SKU (PC)

General

Desktop/PC

Introduction

Welcome to the CloudBox Link tutorial for setting up a new container and SKU using the desktop or web app version. This section walks you through how to properly connect your scale, capture container weights, and register new SKUs in your CloudBox system. The desktop version allows for a more detailed setup process with expanded automation options and integration tools.

Step-by-Step Tutorial

  1. Prepare the Container for Editing
    • Make sure your scale is tared (set to zero).
    • Place the container you want to edit on the scale.
    • Scan the CloudBox label (RFID or barcode) attached to that container.
    • Once scanned, select Edit Container.
  2. Changing the Assigned SKU
    • You can switch the SKU assigned to the container at any time.
    • Tap the SKU drop-down menu and search for the SKU you want to assign.
    • If you have a large SKU database, it may be faster to scan the product barcode directly.
    • When you uploaded your SKU list via CSV in the web portal, the Tracking ID was linked to each SKU’s serial number, which should match its barcode.
    • With the drop-down selected and the cursor flashing, scanning the barcode will automatically assign the correct SKU to the container.
    • Once assigned, any new inventory added to the container will automatically update based on that SKU’s predefined unit weight.
  3. Reweighing a Container
    1. To update the empty container weight:
      • Remove all inventory from the container.
      • Select Edit Container Information → Reweigh Container.
      • CloudBox will record and save the new empty weight for accurate future readings.
  4. Editing SKU Details
    1. To make changes to the SKU itself, tap Edit SKU.
    2. From here, you can modify:
      • SKU Name
      • Tracking ID (linked to your ERP/WMS serial number)
      • Expiration Date (if applicable)
      • Tracking Mode (switch between Weight Mode or Unit Mode)
    3. If you need to update the unit weight:
      • Add several SKU units into the container.
      • Type in how many units you added.
      • Tap Calculate, and CloudBox will automatically capture the new average unit weight value.

Helpful Tips & Tricks

  • Always tare the scale before making edits or weighing containers.
  • Make sure each METRC or BioTrack package ID is correctly linked in the web app for quick scanning.
  • Use Reweigh Container anytime you change packaging, lids, or containers.
  • When recalculating unit weights, use at least 5–10 items to ensure accuracy, especially for lightweight SKUs.
  • After making edits, run a quick cycle count to verify that your CloudBox data matches your compliance system.
  • Keep SKU names short but descriptive: this makes it easier to find and edit them in both the mobile and web app.
