Usage |
|---|---|
Container Codes |
Launches the Container and Carton Codes application (P46091). You define the dimensions, weight, capacity, and purpose (for example, whether a storage container is shippable) of each container to use in the warehouse. You can also define container pieces and enter Advance Ship Notice information about a shipping container. |
UOM Conversion |
Launches the Unit of Measure Conversions - Item application (P41002). You can define a unit of measure structure to process an item. A unit of measure structure describes the relationship between the smallest unit of measure and larger units of measure, such as eaches to boxes, boxes to cases, and cases to pallets. |
Container BOM |
Launches the Container Bill of Material application (P46098). You can specify the pieces that constitute a container. The system uses this information on the Advance Ship Notice. |
Pallet Standard Pack |
Launches the Pallet Standard Packs application. You can specify standard pack information for higher-level packaging, such as pallets. |
Item UOM Definition |
Launches the Item Unit of Measure Definition application. When the system creates an item standard pack row, it also creates a row in the Item Unit Of Measure Definition table (F46011) for the related item and unit of measure to calculate the gross weight. |
Mixed Sequence |
Launches the Mixed Item Packing Group application. You can assign items to a user-defined mixed item packing group. |
Access the Item Standard Pack Revisions form.
- Item Number
A number that the system assigns to an item. It can be in short, long, or third item number format.
- Item Dimension Group
A code (system 41/type 01) that identifies a group of items that share the same dimensions. An item dimension group defines the dimensions for all items that belong to the group. After you setup an item dimension group, you can assign items to the group through Classification Codes (P4101).
- Mixed Package Group
The unique identifier for a group of item numbers that can be packaged in a mixed sequenced standard pack.
- Container Code
Enter a UDC (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.
- Customer Carton ID
Enter a code that the customer uses to represent a carton in the system.
- Standard Pack
Enter a number that indicates the standard quantity within a container.
- Recommendation Sequence
Enter a number that indicates the order in which the system chooses a carton. The system selects the carton with the lowest recommendation sequence first.
