         <Paragraph>Use this session to link business partners
		  and packaging item combinations to shipping material account (SMA). The
		  business partner and item combination identify the shipping material account
		  for a packaging item transaction. The session is used to find the correct
		  shipping material account for a packaging item transactions.</Paragraph>
         <Paragraph>The business partner and item link to shipping material
		  account is based on effective dates. You can specify a future effective date to
		  make a new set of shipping material accounts available for the future. If you
		  do not specify an item, it indicates that an SMA is linked to a BP for all
		  items. If you do not specify a SMA , it indicates that an item is not
		  accountable.</Paragraph>

         <Paragraph>The following are the important characteristics of the

         <List>
            <ListItem>
               <Paragraph>Business Partner/Item</Paragraph>
               <Paragraph>This is the most detailed level tracking of packaging item
				transactions. The accounts are defined for a business partner and a specific
				item.</Paragraph>
            </ListItem>
            <ListItem>
               <Paragraph>Business Partner</Paragraph>
               <Paragraph>This is a more global level which can be defined by
				keeping the item field empty. This level can be used if you want to combine all
				items for a business partner or group of business partners in one
				account.</Paragraph>
            </ListItem>
         </List>
         <Paragraph>When linking accounts to transactions, LN first tries to
		  retrieve an account at the business partner/item combination level. If business
		  partner/item combination account is not found, LN falls back to the
		  more general business partner level and tries to find an account to link to the
		  transaction.</Paragraph>
         <Paragraph>In case shipping material accounting schemes are defined at
		  business partner level, all items for a business partner or a group of business
		  partners are linked to one account. The following options are available to
		  exclude specific packaging items from detailed transaction logging:</Paragraph>
         <List>
            <ListItem>
               <Paragraph>You can mark the item as not accountable. You must clear
				the <GUIRef href="/baanerp/wh/wmd/whwmd4505m000#whwmd405.acnt" role="manual">Accountable</GUIRef> check box for an item in the <GUIRef href="/baanerp/wh/wmd/whwmd4505m000" role="session">Packaging Items (whwmd4505m000)</GUIRef> session. Therefore, the item is not available for
				shipping material accounting.</Paragraph>
            </ListItem>
            <ListItem>
               <Paragraph>You can define an entry in the shipping material
				accounting scheme in which you keep the <GUIRef href="/baanerp/wh/wmd/whwmd4171m000#whwmd471.shma" role="manual">Shipping Material Account</GUIRef> field empty.</Paragraph>
            </ListItem>
            <ListItem>
               <Paragraph>You can define a dummy shipping material account and
				create entries for this dummy account in the shipping material accounting
				scheme.</Paragraph>
            </ListItem>
         </List>
         <Paragraph>When searching for a shipping material account (SMA) for a
		  transaction, LN searches for an entry in the shipping material accounting scheme that has an
		  effective date which is closest to the transaction date. Expiry dates are not
		  defined. The expiry date of an existing entry in the shipping material
		  accounting scheme is determined by the effective date of a new entry in the
		  accounting scheme.</Paragraph>

      <GeneralSection>
         <Paragraph>Multiple business partners can be linked to the same shipping
		  material accounting scheme. The following are the possible

            <Emphasis>Scenario 1: All packaging items linked to one SMA.</Emphasis>
