Packing is part of delivery- and shipment processing. When you process a delivery, you can select delivery items for packing and assign them to handling units (HUs) .
As an example, you could pack delivery items in boxes, pack the boxes on pallets for delivery to the customer, and load the pallets onto a truck.
The
Packing
component and related packing information enables you to:
Update the stock situation of packing materials
Monitor returnable packaging stocks at the customer's or forwarding agent's place of business
Help you find you what was in a particular container (for example, if a customer maintains that they have received an incomplete delivery)
Make sure that the weight and volume limits have been adhered to
Ensure that products have been packed correctly
