Packing Instruction Determination

Use

This function enables the system to find a packing instruction by specific characteristics. The condition technique is applied for this.

You define a packing instruction/reference packing instruction that refers to specific characteristics, such as material/reference material and ship-to party. If you now want to pack this specific material for this specific ship-to party, the system can find the pre-defined packing instruction and use it to create one or more HU proposals that exactly fit the requirements of the customer. Packing instruction determination thus automates the packing process.
