	<HelpTopic><AimSection><Paragraph>Use this session to view or change the package definition levels for the selected item. In this session, you can adjust the general-level packaging levels for the item.</Paragraph>
		</AimSection>
		<GeneralSection><Paragraph>The information displayed in this session is created in the <GUIRef href="/baanerp/wh/wmd/whwmd4130m000" role="session">Item - Package Definitions (whwmd4130m000)</GUIRef> session by inserting a package definition for an item.</Paragraph>
			<Paragraph>You can enter a packaging unit for the item. If you enter a packaging item, it will be able to track the packaging items. The quantities of packaging items are registered per packing item using the <GUIRef href="/baanerp/wh/wmd/whwmd4107m000" role="session">Packaging Items by Business Partner (whwmd4107m000)</GUIRef> session. If you enter a packaging item, some of the packaging data and the dimensions are derived from the item data as entered in the <GUIRef href="/baanerp/wh/wmd/whwmd4120s000" role="session">Package Definition Levels (whwmd4120s000)</GUIRef>.</Paragraph>
			<Paragraph>If you enter no packaging item,you can manually enter the packaging data and dimensions.</Paragraph>
			<Paragraph>This session shows the unit information for a level, such as the unit, the quantity per unit, and the conversion factor.</Paragraph>
			<Paragraph>At level 1, the field <GUIRef href="/baanerp/wh/wmd/whwmd4140s000#whwmd440.pqty" role="formfield">Exists for Partial Qty</GUIRef> is selected and cannot be edited.</Paragraph>

			<FuncDesc>This field indicates if the package exists for partial quantities when picking. For instance, when a box is picked from a pallet, the pallet still exists in the location with the remaining quantity. Therefore the pallet exists for partial quantities. However, for particular types of boxes, when pieces are picked from the box, the box is discarded and the remaining pieces should be represented as pieces. The box does not exist for partial quantities.</FuncDesc>
