		<GeneralSection ID="GeneralSection_item_dimensions_by_unit_fmd1110"><Paragraph>For each <Link href="/baanerp/tc/glossary/glossary#000001" role="glossary">item</Link> that is processed by <GUIRef href="/baanerp/fm" role="package">Freight Management</GUIRef>, you can select a <Link href="/baanerp/tc/glossary/glossary#Units.tc" role="glossary">unit</Link> and specify the dimensions as they apply to transportation. You can overwrite the default values. The default values of the item dimensions are taken from the <GUIRef href="/baanerp/wh/wmd/whwmd4500m000" role="session">Items - Warehousing (whwmd4500m000)</GUIRef> session.</Paragraph>
			<Paragraph>Often, items are repacked for transportation. Items can be packed in more voluminous packing material for protection or they can be packed together in boxes, pallets, and so on.</Paragraph>
			<Paragraph>For example, milk cartons are put on trays, sealed together, and put on pallets for transportation. To plan for the transportation of milk cartons, you must know the size of a pallet. For that purpose, pallets are defined as a unit in SSA ERP. In the current session, you could select pallet as a unit for the milk carton item and specify the dimensions of the pallet.</Paragraph>
			<Paragraph>If you define a unit for an item and specify dimensions for the unit, the unit and the dimensions are defaulted to freight orders in which the item is listed. If you do not define a unit for an item, the item default data are defaulted to the freight orders. The default value 0.0000 in an item dimension field in the <GUIRef href="/baanerp/fm/fmd/fmfmd1110m000#dimensions" role="groupbox">Dimensions</GUIRef> group box means that this dimension is not available for load building or rough planning.</Paragraph>

			<FuncDesc>The portion of the <Link href="/baanerp/fm/glossary/glossary#000079" role="glossary">piece unit</Link> that is taken up by one item. For example, if the piece unit is a box that can contain 10 items, enter 0.1 Note that in such cases, a rounding factor for the piece unit must exist that allows fractions. The <GUIRef href="/baanerp/fm/fmd/fmfmd1100m000#inverse.pieces" role="formfield">Units per Piece</GUIRef> field shows the reverse proportion, that is, 10 instead of 0.1.</FuncDesc>

				<Title xmlns:ssa="http://www.ssaglobal.com" xmlns:HTML="http://www.w3.org/TR/REC-html40">Units per Piece</Title>
			</Header>
			<FuncDesc>The proportion between the <Link href="/baanerp/wh/glossary/glossary#000337" role="glossary">inventory unit</Link> of the item and the <Link href="/baanerp/fm/glossary/glossary#000079" role="glossary">piece unit</Link>, which indicates how many items one piece unit can contain. For example, if the inventory unit is INV and the piece unit is LMT (loading metre), and the proportion between the inventory unit and the piece unit is 100, this field will show the following value: 100 INV/LMT, which means that the loading metre can contain 100 items.</FuncDesc>
