Specify No. of Layers to Add to add the number of layers to the container type that is provided by Infor LN. During the calculation of the container structure, the number of layers is calculated. This is performed by dividing the number of containers with content by the number of containers per layer. The result is added to the loading unit number, which is stored as the customer container number of the pallet.

Note: The calculation requires the No. of Layers to Add setting. Adjust this setting in the Pattern for Formatting Customer Container Type field of the respective customer or trading partner code.
