Packaging materials and registration

As a first step towards a fully-fledged packaging item inventory solution, the packaging transactions in the Shipping Material Accounts (whwmd4670m000) session are now aligned with the regular inventory transactions triggered by the inbound and outbound flows of empty/standalone packaging material from and to business partners.

When a packaging item with the Accountable check box selected is moved independently (empty/stand-alone), packaging and inventory transactions are generated. It is not required to first link a packaging definition (handling unit template) to this packaging item.

Additionally, inventory transactions related to packaging items can be filtered out in sessions such as the Warehouse – item - Stock Point Transactions (whinr1500m000) and Item – Warehouse – Inventory Transactions (whinr1510m000).

Note: Because this feature is a first step in a long process, it can be activated with a hidden parameter in the Custom Parameters (tcmcs0195m000) session. It is not visible in the user interface.
