Chapter 38: Working with Dunnage Weight (WDUN)

Dunnage weight is the weight of packing materials. Use the Work with Dunnage Weight menu option to define the weight of dunnage based on the cube of the items on a pick slip.

As pick slips are created during pick slip generation, the cube of the pick is used to determine the extra weight to be added to the pick slip for the packing materials. The extra weight is added to the weight of the pick and the total weight is rounded up to the next pound. This total weight is included in the calculation for best way shipping; see Chapter 33: Working with Shipping Rates (WSHR).
