| # 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 ERP Enterprise 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. Length The length of the package. Unit The unit in which the length of the package is measured. Width The width of the package. Height The height of the package. Floor Space The floor space an item takes up. The floor space is equal to Length multiplied by the Width of the Item. Unit The unit used to express the floor space of the container. This value is defaulted from the Derived Area Unit defined in the Unit Dimensional Relationships (tcmcs1101m000) session. Volume The volume an item takes up. The volume is equal to Length multiplied by the Width multiplied by the Height. Unit The unit used to express the volume of the container. This value is defaulted from the Derived Volume Unit defined in the Unit Dimensional Relationships (tcmcs1101m000) session. Weight The weight of the item. Unit The unit in which the weight of the item is expressed. |
