Package Definition Levels (whwmd4520m000)

Use this session to view and maintain package definition levels for the selected package definition.

Field Information

Package Definition

The code of the package definition.

Level

The level number of the packaging level within the package definition.

The level numbers start at one for the lowest level and increases sequentially without gaps. Each higher level holds or contains the package unit that is at the immediate preceding level.

For example, the lowest level can be pieces, the next level is a box that contains 10 pieces, and the highest level is a pallet that holds 20 boxes.

Example

  • Level 1: pieces
  • Level 2: bx1 (box of 10 pieces)
  • Level 3: pl1 (pallet of 20 bx1 = 200 pieces)
Unit

A unit of packaging in which an item can exist: for example, a piece, a box, or a pallet.

This unit serves as the package in which, or on which, an item is stored or handled. On the lowest level, this unit is the inventory unit for the item.

A unit can appear in only one package definition for each item.

The unit must be defined in the item's unit set.

Package Type

The package type defines whether goods are stored internally in package or externally on package. This information enables LN to have accurate dimensions of goods that are packaged in this manner.

Shippable

If this check box is selected, the package is suitable for shipment without being repacked. For example, pallets are generally a shippable type of packaging.

If this check box is cleared, the package is not shippable in its present form. For example, a fragile package or many types of loose pieces cannot be shipped without first repackaging them.

Exists for Partial Quantity

If this check box is selected, the package is regarded as existing, even if the package's content is partial.

Example

When a box is picked from a pallet, the pallet still exists in the location with the remaining quantity. Therefore, the pallet exists for partial quantities. However, for particular types of boxes, when pieces are picked from the box, the box is discarded and the remaining pieces should be represented as pieces. The box does not exist for partial quantities.

Length

The length of the package.

Unit

The unit in which the length of the package is measured.

Width

The width of the package.

Height

The height of the package.

Floor Space

The floor space an item takes up. The floor space is equal to Length multiplied by the Width of the Item.

Unit

The unit used to express the floor space of the container. This value is defaulted from the Derived Area Unit defined in the Unit Dimensional Relationships (tcmcs1101m000) session.

Volume

The volume an item takes up. The volume is equal to Length multiplied by the Width multiplied by the Height.

Unit

The unit used to express the volume of the container. This value is defaulted from the Derived Volume Unit defined in the Unit Dimensional Relationships (tcmcs1101m000) session.

Weight

The weight of the item.

Unit

The unit in which the weight of the item is expressed.
