Packing Transactions
This section includes these transactions:
Packing By Order
Use the Packing by Order transaction to pack items for an order before releasing the outbound or confirming picking. There are two ways that you can pack items using this transaction:
- Using pre-packed items:
Use this packing method if the items on the order line are already packed in a container structure that meets the shipping requirements. You can confirm that the container structure is correct, or, if there are problems with the container structure, you can break it up and rebuild the structure manually.
- Packing items without a
pre-defined structure
Use this packing method if the items on the order line do not need to match a specific container structure. Using your own discretion, you can create any container structure that is appropriate for the situation.
You may need to use multiple packing methods for an order.
