Packing data types allow you to specify which type of data you want to collect during the packing process.

The system provides the following optional data types categories for collecting information during the packing process:

  • Packing Container

    Add data type to this category if you want the operator to collect information about the container number being packed.

  • Packing SFC

    Add data type to this category if you want the operator to collect information about each SFC number or container being packed into a container.

You define data fields for the data to collect in Data Field Definition Maintenance (see Data Field Definition Maintenance).

You then assign these fields to the data types of the Packing Container and Packing SFC categories in Data Field Assignment Maintenance (see Data Field Assignment Maintenance).

These packing data types are then assigned in the following fields of the Main tab page of Container Maintenance (see Container Maintenance):

  • Container Data Type

  • SFC Data Type

Pack/Unpack checks the packing data type to determine the fields to display for data collection.
