 Packing with Packing Instructions

Use

Customers often specify precisely the quantity in which their goods should be packed in a specific combination of packaging materials to enable their goods receipt process to run smoothly. These requirements for specific packing procedures often cause considerable costs for the vendor of the goods concerned.

Packing instructions enable the vendor to automate the packing process. Depending on specific characteristics, the system creates proposals for handling units based on the previously defined packing instructions. Based on this proposal, the vendor can pack the materials according to customer requirements, and then create the HU in the system, by confirming the proposal.

The vendor can even pack goods ready for shipping and in keeping with customer requirements, as a part of the production process.

Integration

Packing with packing instructions can be used in both repetitive and discrete manufacturing and anywhere in the system that has packing functions (such as the delivery, the shipping notification, and so on).

Features

  • With packing instructions, you can carry out preliminary packing, or actually pack materials ready for shipping, from production.

  • Packing instructions can also be used to pack a material in shipping.

  • The system can create HU proposals from packing instructions that are defined in the outline agreement and specify the amount of materials that are to be packed in a specific way in specific packaging materials.

  • The system determines packing instructions based on various characteristics, such as material, ship-to party, and so on.

  • You can create a handling unit in the system on the basis of this HU proposal.
