Prepacking advice

Through schedule requirements (EDI X12 862), it is communicated how quantities of parts must be packed. The Small Lot/Delivery Batch Number is an identifier used for packing. A small lot/delivery batch may need to be packed in one or multiple containers and controlled outside the staging area.

Because suppliers can have too many small lots at the time of trailer build, the Prepacking Advice functionality has been introduced. With this functionality, multi-item handling units in inventory can be prepacked based on projected shipments. These multi-item handling units are destined for a projected shipment and are presented when the outbound advices are generated.
