Specify this information:

Package Type

Specify the package type that is required for the product. You can leave the field blank if the product can ship in a standard package.

Shelf to Ship Package

Select this option if the product can be shipped as it is stored in the warehouse without any further packing. If the unit for a line item corresponds to the unit on this record, a carton ID is assigned to the product and it is included in the carton count.

Calculate Dimensional Size on Unit

Select this option to specify the dimensions of the product in the converted unit. If you leave this field blank, the product dimensions from Product Setup are used to determine the dimensions for the unit conversion product.
If you selected Calculate Dimensional Size on Unit

Unit Dimensional Sized Measure in Cubic

Specify the unit of measure (UOM) to use to determine the size of product in the unit on this record. If you select AO Default to use the UOM from SA System Administrator-System-General, the UOM is displayed beside the field.

Tare Weight

Specify the weight of the package without the product.

Height/Width/Length

Specify the height, width, and length of the product in the converted unit. The cube value is automatically calculated.

If you sell products that can be nested during shipment, specify the dimensions for the products when they are nested. For example, suppose you sell bowls individually or in pack of four. The dimensions in inches for an individual bowl are 2x6x6. The dimensions in inches for a pack of four nested bowls are 4.5x6x6.
