Calculating Containers
The Calculate Weight/Volume Special menu option not only calculates weight, volume, and fill percentage, but also:
- deletes existing container information for the departure or delivery (depending on whether you select the Calculate Weight/Volume Special menu option from the Departure or Delivery window),
- calculates the number of required containers for the delivery lines based on container/item load relationships,
- displays a warning if the number of required containers exceeds the maximum number of containers allowed for the vehicle (if calculating the number of containers from the Departure window), and
- displays a warning if extra containers are added to meet minimum fill percentage requirements for containers.
Prerequisites
The Master Container or Detail Container information must be defined for the delivery lines in the delivery or departure for which you want to calculate containers. If you define both the Master Container and Detail Container information, only the Master Container information is used. See: Assigning Containers to Delivery Lines
