Understanding Container Codes

Container management tracks only empty container types. You set up both empty and full containers on the Item Master Revisions form. For the full container, you identify a container code. The record for the container code, which you set up on the Container and Carton Codes Revisions form, includes the item number of the empty item.

You can use the Container Management Extraction program (R41189) to extract transactions for full and empty containers and store this information to the Container Transaction File table (F41181).
