| # Item - Package Definition - Packaging Levels (whwmd4540m000) Use this session to view, add or change the package definition levels for the selected item. Related topics Packaging levels Package definitions To define package definitions Item The item that is linked to the package definition. Package Definition The code of the package definition. Level The level numbers start at 1 for the lowest level and increase sequentially without gaps. Each higher level holds or contains the package unit that is at the 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. The unit must be in the item's unit set. A unit can appear in only one package definition for each item. Quantity The number of packages of the previous level in the package definition that can be held by the current level. The number is expressed in the unit of the previous level as specified in the previous.cuni field. This number is calculated as follows: Conversion factor of current level / Conversion factor of previous level These amounts are both conversion factors to the inventory unit (base unit). For level 1 the value for this field is 1. For level 2 this value is equal to the conversion factor of the unit of that level. previous.cuni The unit of the previous package definition level. Note For level 1 this field must be blank. Package Type This field indicates if material is stored internally in package or externally on package. This information enables ERP LN to have accurate dimensions of goods that are packaged in this way. Shippable This field indicates whether a package is suitable for shipment without being repackaged. If this check box is selected, this package is shippable (suitable for shipment.) For example, pallets are generally a shippable type of packaging. If this check box is cleared, this package is not shippable in its present form. For example, a fragile package or many types of loose pieces cannot be shipped without repacking. |
