Revising Standard Pack Carton Recommendations

Enter the number of pieces, pallets, containers, and so forth which constitute a shipment.

For shipments that do not have piece information defined in the Pieces table (F4943), the system calculates the estimated piece count by converting the quantity in the transaction unit of measure to the shipping unit of measure.

To obtain the whole piece number, the system rounds the unit of measure down.

The weight and volume of the leftover quantities from all detail lines are added and the sum total is divided by the maximum piece weight and volume.

The system rounds the resulting piece weight or volume up to the next whole number. This number is added to the whole piece number to obtain the piece count.

Enter a code (46/EQ) that identifies a storage container or a shipping carton. A storage container can be an open container where items are stored on the container (for example, a pallet), or a closed container where items are stored in the container (for example, a box). You use the Container and Carton Codes program (P46091) to define storage containers.

Enter a number that indicates the standard quantity within a container.

Enter the total quantity in primary unit of measure for this location detail.

Enter a code that indicates whether a carton is located inside a larger carton.

Enter the total quantity in primary unit of measure for this location detail.

Enter a UDC (00/UM) that indicates the quantity in which to express an inventory item, for example, CS (case) or BX (box).

Enter a number that the system assigns to an item. It can be in short, long, or third item number format.

Enter the weight of goods currently in a location. The system calculates this amount from the weight from the item/unit of measure profile and the weight of the container if the level 1 unit of measure for this location detail has a storage container.

Enter the gross weight of one unit of the item in this unit of measure, or the weight of an empty storage container or shipping carton. The system enters these as the default values in the F4602 and uses the values in maximum weight calculations for specified locations during putaway.

Enter a UDC (00/UM) that identifies the unit of measure that the system uses to indicate weight for this item. You can specify ounces, grams, kilograms, and so on, as weight standards. The system uses this unit of measure for the item or overrides it for an individual item or container.

Enter a code that the customer uses to represent a carton in the system.

Enter a number that identifies a carton as an item. When you specify an item number, the system creates a relationship between the item number and the carton code for tracking and pricing purposes.

Enter a UDC (46/RS) that indicates the status of standard pack recommendations.

Enter a code that identifies a separate entity within a business for which you want to track items and costs. This entity might be a warehouse location, job, project, work center, or branch/plant. The Branch/Plant field is alphanumeric.
