Define Settings for Managing Crates
This document describes the settings that you must define to manage crate on deliveries.
Outcome
Crates can be registered on an outbound delivery.
Before You Start
No prerequisites.
Follow These Steps
- In 'Packaging Type. Open' (DRS080), define a type for crate with parameter “Crate” set to 1. Crates can be included in packaging ledger and packaging actions. For crates, auto “create packaging” cannot be activated, package numbering method and formatting ID cannot be used.
- In 'Packaging. Open' (MMS050), define a crate packaging using the above type. Packaging group cannot be provided. If the packaging type has an order line creation method, provide an item that will represent the packaging for the packaging actions. If an item is connected to the packaging, it cannot be lot managed. The item should not be defined with container management in the warehouses it is used.
- In 'Dispatch Policy. Open' (MWS010), set the '240 Packing reporting method' field to 1, 2, 3 or 4.
