packaging and contents. A handling unit can contain items registered in Warehousing and
other handling units. A handling unit has a structure of packaging materials
used to pack items, or is a part of such a structure. A handling unit includes the following attributes: - Identification code
- Packaging item (optional)
- Quantity of packaging items (optional)
If you link an item to a handling unit, the item is packed by
means of the handling unit. The packaging item refers to the type of container
or other packing material of which the handling unit consists. For example, by
defining a packaging item such as Wooden Crate for a handling unit, you specify
that the handling unit is a wooden crate. Item In LN,
the raw materials, subassemblies, finished products, and tools that can be
purchased, stored, manufactured, sold, and so on. An item can also represent a set of items handled as one kit,
or exist in multiple product variants. You can also define nonphysical items, which are not held
in inventory but can be used to post costs or to invoice services to customers.
The following are examples of nonphysical items: - Cost items (for example, electricity)
- Service items
- Subcontracting services
- List items (menus/options)
