Packaging Items (whwmd4105s000)
Use this session to define or view the packaging data and the dimensions for a packaging item. If you enter a package item in the Package Definition Levels (whwmd4120s000) or Item - Package Definition - Packaging Level (whwmd4140s000) session, the packaging data and the dimensions for the item you enter here are reused for the package definition level.
Packaging items that are indicated as being reusable are tracked into and out of the warehouse by business partner in the Packaging Items by Business Partner (whwmd4107m000) session.
Field Information
- Packaging Item
-
The code of the packaging item.
- Package Type
-
- Package Type
-
The package type defines whether goods are packed in the packaging item, for example, in a box, or put on the packaging item, for example, on a pallet. The use of packaging items, and the type of packaging items determine the way LN calculates item or handling unit dimensions.
- Internal
-
Goods are stored inside the package: for example, a box or carton. Because the goods are stored inside the package, the dimensions of the package represent the dimensions of the goods.
- External
-
Goods are stored on the package: for example, a pallet. The dimensions of the package must be added to the dimensions of what is on the package.
- Packaging

- Reusable
-
If this check box is selected, the item is reusable. Reusable items can be used many times: for example, pallets and shipping containers.
These items can be returned to inventory when empty. You can track reusable packaging items entering and leaving the warehouse. Tracking packaging items makes it possible for packaging items to be received back from customers and sent back to suppliers.
If this check box is cleared, the item is not reusable. The packaging items are not tracked.
- Accountable
-
If this check box is selected, LN records the transactions for a packaging item in a detailed manner. Also, you can build a shipping material account for a packaging item.
Default value
-
If the Reusable check box is selected, by default the Accountable check box is also selected.
-
If the Reusable check box is cleared, the Accountable check box is also cleared. You can select the check box if you want to maintain a detailed level log for the packaging item.
Note: The field is available if the Extended Packaging Item Registration check box is selected in the Warehouse Master Data Parameters (whwmd0100s000) session. -
- 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.
