Shipment order details

Shipment order details sent from the host include values for carton break codes and break quantities, if applicable to the item. These values display on the shipment order detail after the Notes field. If no values are assigned from the host, these fields remain blank, but can be populated during manual order entry if required.

Carton break

Code that identifies items must be in a separate carton from other items that do not have the same carton break. The value in this field determines whether any of the detail items can be put in the same carton. For example, if a shipment order with five detail lines has two details with a P1 carton break code, these items can be put in the same carton. If the other three detail lines have a different carton break code (for example, P2), those items are put in a separate carton.

Break quantity

Multiples of this number is packed into a single carton until only leftover quantities remain. For example, if a shipment order detail is for a quantity of 12 each with a Break Quantity of 5, either 5 or 10 each can be packed into a single carton (depending on available space). The balance of 2 is placed in a separate carton. The value in this field is only used in the cartonization process during allocation.
