Carton weight validation for RF Packing

This enhancement adds validation for the To IDs for Packing. This validation ensures that the carton weight is not over the maximum weight assigned to the carton.

You must specify an allowable weight; the system then checks the Validate Carton Weight during Packing flag, validates and then you can complete the packing process. If the checkbox is OFF, then no validation is required.

You can also specify a percentage in the Packing Weight Tolerance Percentage field or leave that field blank. If you leave it blank, it will be validated against the value in the Maximum Weight field. You can use a tare weight or include that weight in the maximum weight. If you are over the threshold percentage for the tolerance, the Weight entered is over the allowed carton weight threshold message is shown.
