Setting up a package type for cartonization

Set up a package type record to provide a general description of a package, such as a standard box, pallet, or dry ice container.

You can assign a package type to a product or package in these functions:

  • Product Setup
  • Product Catalog Setup
  • Product Extended Unit Conversion Setup
  • Product Cartonization Package Setup

You can also use the package type in the carton ID, which is set up at the company and warehouse levels.

  1. Select System Administrator > Setup > Table Code Value.
  2. Select Package Type in the Table List field.
  3. Click New.
  4. Specify the type of package and a description.
  5. Click Save.
  6. Optionally, specify a code in the Package Type Used for Carton ID Label that represents the package type in the carton ID.

    You can specify up to three characters. If you leave the field blank, the value in the Type field is used in the carton ID.

  7. Select the Standard Package Type to indicate that the package is available for use with most items.
    When you select this option, you are not required to specify this package type on Product Setup, Product Catalog Setup, and Product Extended Unit Conversion Setup records.
  8. Click Save.
