Containers can include SFC numbers or containers. The objects operators can pack into or unpack from a container are defined in Container Maintenance
.
The system archives a container when all SFC numbers that are packed into this container are archived (see Archiving).
Note
When all SFC numbers are unarchived and removed from an archived container for returns management, the system does not unarchive the container (see Integration of Service (RMA) Orders).
