Considerations for Packing Units

Every packing unit can be classified into a broader packing unit type meant for a specific kind of packaging and shipping.

Packing units are defined in Oracle Fusion Cloud Inventory Management. For example, the airline container packing unit is used to pack shipments that are delivered by air. Before assigning a packing unit to an item, consider

• What is the most commonly used mode of transport used to deliver shipments by your organization?

• What is the storage requirement for the items shipped from your organization?

Mode of Transport to Deliver Shipments

Consider which modes of transport are most commonly used by you organization to deliver shipments. Your organization's preferred modes of transport indicate the packing units most likely to be used during shipping.

Storage Requirement

Consider the weight and volume of the items being shipped from your organization to determine the packing unit to be used.
