Defining Container Details
You can define a container, a parent container for the container, and inventory controls for the container using the Container Details window. The Sequence Number and associated Container you define are used to assign the container to delivery lines on the Delivery Lines window. See: Defining Delivery Line Details.
The Container Contents region displays all delivery line items assigned to the current container (if the Container Contents check box is checked).
Prerequisites
To define container details:
1. Navigate to the Ship Confirm Delivery window.
2. Query the delivery containing the delivery lines to which you want to assign containers. See: Confirming a Delivery
3. Choose the Containers button.
The Container Details window displays.
4. Define a Sequence Number for the Container.
5. Select the Container you want to assign to a delivery line in the delivery.
6. Optionally define the Parent Sequence Number, which is the Sequence Number of the container in which you want to pack the current container.
7. Select the Quantity Unit of Measure for the container.
8. Define the number of containers you want to create with the current Sequence Number.
For example, if you selected Dozen in the Quantity UOM field and define the Quantity as 1, you would create twelve containers with the same Sequence Number. When you assign this container to line items, those line items would be packed in any of the twelve containers you created.
9. Define the inventory controls for the container: Subinventory, Location, Revision, Lot Number, and Serial Number.
10. Define the Master Serial Number.
11. Define the Weight Unit of Measure for the container.
This unit of measure is used by the Calculate Container Weight Special menu option to calculate the gross weight of the container (and all items in the container).
12. Specify the Gross Weight for the container.
The Gross Weight field is filled each time you run Calculate Container Weight.
