	<HelpTopic><AimSection><List><ListIntro>Use this session to view the <Link href="/baanerp/wh/glossary/glossary#PackagItem.wh" role="glossary">packaging items</Link> by business partner. This session allows you to track the number of containers the company:</ListIntro>

		<GeneralSection><Paragraph>Packaging items identified as reusable items in the <GUIRef href="/baanerp/wh/wmd/whwmd4105s000" role="session">Packaging Items (whwmd4105s000)</GUIRef> session are counted into and out of the warehouse per <Link href="/baanerp/tc/glossary/glossary#BusinePartne.tc" role="glossary">business</Link> partner. Two quantities are counted: the 'In' quantity and the 'Out' quantity.</Paragraph>
			<Paragraph>For a ship-from business partner, the initial 'In' quantity represents the number of packaging items belonging to that business partner, existing in the warehouse. The 'Out' quantity is first equal to zero. 'In' and 'Out' quantities are recorded per ship-from business partner and item for each packaging item that belongs to a specific ship-from business partner. The 'In' quantity tracks the number of packaging items getting in the warehouse within the receipt process, for example. The 'Out' quantity records the packaging items which are returned to the ship-from business partner.</Paragraph>
			<Paragraph>For a ship-to business partner, the initial 'Out' quantity represents the number of packaging items belonging to your company (as a supplier), that exist at the ship-to business partner's site. The 'In' quantity is first equal to zero. 'In' and 'Out' quantities are recorded per customer and item for packaging items that belong to your company as a supplier. Since these items are used to ship goods to that specific customer, your company needs to track them outside the warehouse. During the shipment process, the 'Out' quantity will be increased if packaging items are shipped together with goods. The 'In' quantity will register the number of packaging items incoming from the customer, for example within a return order.</Paragraph>
			<Paragraph>When the ship-from business partner is also a ship-to business partner, all packaging items are recorded for that business partner: self-owned packaging items and those owned by the business partner.</Paragraph>
			<Paragraph>The data in this session are automatically updated by <GUIRef href="/baanerp/wh" role="package">Warehouse Management</GUIRef> during the receiving and shipping processes. When packaging items are sent in bulk back to a supplier, or conversely received from a customer, and are not processed through the receiving or shipping sessions, this session is used as the means to update the quantities.</Paragraph>
