    • The total information is a breakdown of the original order quantities for the item being sorted.
    • The displayed Master (EA), Inner (IP), and Case (CA) Unit of Measure values displayed reflect the Pack Key Unit of Measure values.
    • You can edit a displayed Unit of Measure value. The system validates any adjusted values with the Pack values for the item.
