| # Package Definition Levels (whwmd4520m000) Use this session to view and maintain package definition levels for the selected package definition. Related topics Packaging levels To define package definitions Package Definition The code of the package definition. Level The level number of the packaging level within the package definition. The level numbers start at one for the lowest level and increases sequentially without gaps. Each higher level holds or contains the package unit that is at the immediate preceding level. For example, the lowest level can be pieces, the next level is a box that contains 10 pieces, and the highest level is a pallet that holds 20 boxes. Example Level 1: pieces Level 2: bx1 (box of 10 pieces) Level 3: pl1 (pallet of 20 bx1 = 200 pieces) Unit A unit of packaging in which an item can exist: for example, a piece, a box, or a pallet. This unit serves as the package in which, or on which, an item is stored or handled. On the lowest level, this unit is the inventory unit for the item. A unit can appear in only one package definition for each item. The unit must be defined in in the item's unit set. Package Type The package type defines whether goods are stored internally in package or externally on package. This information enables LN to have accurate dimensions of goods that are packaged in this manner. Shippable If this check box is selected, the package is suitable for shipment without being repacked. For example, pallets are generally a shippable type of packaging. If this check box is cleared, the package is not shippable in its present form. For example, a fragile package or many types of loose pieces cannot be shipped without first repackaging them. Exists for Partial Quantity If this check box is selected, the package is regarded as existing, even if the package's content is partial. Example 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. |
