Integration

Containers can include SFC numbers or containers. The objects operators can pack into or unpack from a container are defined in Container Maintenance.

A numbering pattern is necessary to uniquely identify a container number, which is generated for each container. You define numbering patterns in Next Number Maintenance (see Next Number Maintenance).
