Ability to send Print Request with Multiple Drop-off Locations Specified (Pre-Processor Method)

Need to separate bot missions based on drop-off location due to Locus not being able to support multiple drop-offs for a single mission. Specifically when using the pre-processor method.

Problem/opportunity trying to be solved

Alphabroder has multiple drop off locations and utilizes the pre-processor method. We would need the ability to send the drop-off location in the print request messages back to the WMS so they can specify which printer to print the labels at and put the value on the label so users can properly prep cartons.

Quantify the problem/opportunity

Requirement for Alphabroder multi drop-off process. First of 8 sites - 800 bot deal.

What is the root cause of the problem/opportunity

Alphabroder has multiple drop-off locations and Locus currently has no way of grouping orders by pack task location when using the pre-processor method.

    Would we be able to combine this with the method of sending print request based off custowner as well? Especially with the preprocessor method.
