		handling units have user-defined internal packaging item <GUIRef href="" role="manual">Box B</GUIRef>.</Paragraph>

      <Paragraph>Using the dimensions of the previous example, the dimensions of
		the parent including the child handling units are as follows:</Paragraph>
      <GeneralSection>
         <SectionTitle>Width</SectionTitle>
         <Paragraph>The width of the parent handling unit is equal to the width of
		  the external packaging item <GUIRef href="" role="manual">Pallet</GUIRef>, 1 m.</Paragraph>
      </GeneralSection>
      <GeneralSection>
         <SectionTitle>Length</SectionTitle>
         <Paragraph>The depth of the parent handling unit is equal to the depth of
		  the external packaging item <GUIRef href="" role="manual">Pallet</GUIRef>, 1 m.</Paragraph>
      </GeneralSection>
      <GeneralSection>
         <SectionTitle>Height</SectionTitle>
         <Paragraph>The height of the parent handling unit is 1.825 m. The surface
		  areas of the pallet and the boxes determine whether the boxes must be stacked
		  to fit on the pallet. The value in the <GUIRef href="/baanerp/wh/wmd/whwmd5130m000#whwmd530.hght" role="manual">Height</GUIRef> field of the <GUIRef href="/baanerp/wh/wmd/whwmd5130m000" role="session">Handling Units (whwmd5130m000)</GUIRef> session shows the height of the stacked boxes of both
		  types added with the height of the pallet. If the pallet carries internal
		  packaging items or items with different heights, ERP Enterprise uses the aggregated
		  surface areas of both types of boxes, the surface area of the pallet, the
		  height of the box or item with the greatest height to determine the dimensions
		  of the handling unit. ERP Enterprise calculates the height of the handling unit as follows:</Paragraph>
         <ProcedureList>
            <ListItem>Divide the aggregated floor space of the internal packaging
			 items, no matter the type of packaging item, by the floor space of the external
			 packaging item</ListItem>
            <ListItem>Multiply the result with the height of the internal packaging
			 item with the greatest height</ListItem>
            <ListItem>Add the result of step 2 to the height of the external
			 packaging item</ListItem>
         </ProcedureList>
         <Paragraph>The aggregated floor space of Box A is 5 * 0.25 = 1.25. The
		  aggregated floor space of Box B is 20 * 0.1 = 2. The aggregated floor space of
		  Box A and Box B is 1.25 + 2 = 3.25. The surface area of the pallet is 1 m2.
		  3.25 / 1 = 3.25. In the example, the height of Box A is 0.5, which is greater
		  than height 0.3 of Box B. Therefore, you must multiply 3.25 by 0.5, the result
		  of which is 1.625. Finally, add this result to the height of the pallet: 1.625
		  + 0.2 = 1.825.</Paragraph>
      </GeneralSection>
   </GeneralSection>
   <GeneralSection>
      <SectionTitle>Weight</SectionTitle>
      <Paragraph>The gross weight is the aggregated weight of the items contained
		in the child handling units and the aggregated weight of the external packaging
		items of the parent and the internal packaging items (of either type) of the
		child handling units. The net weight is the aggregated weight of the items
		contained in the child handling units.</Paragraph>
