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.
