Configure Packaging

When necessary, click configure packaging button when creating an ASN via turnaround.  The ASN packaging level screen  is displayed.

 

 

 

  1. If the packaging assignments do not accurately reflect how the shipment is packed, modify the fields as necessary.  

  2. Add an additional pallet when necessary.  In order to add a pallet,  the ‘total number of pallets’ field in the part packaging level section must be incrementally increased.  Pallet numbers are used to assign containers to a master pack.  Containers can be assigned to any pallet number to reflect the physical shipment.  For instance, pallet number 5 has one container from each part assigned to it.  When bar code labels are created, pallet 5 container assignments will be reflected as a mixed load and a mixed load bar code label will be generated indicating 2 containers.  

  3. Click save.

  4. Click cancel to return to the ASN part summary level.
