      Fields

      The following fields are present on this tab :

      Packaging

      This code is controlled in the packaging table. It specifies the number of products, expressed in sales units, that the packaging can contain. It is initialized once the product has been entered, based on the sales unit used and the shipping site:

      • If the sales unit of the order is initialized to the sales unit of the customer product, the packaging is initialized to that of the customer product
      • If the sales unit does not exist for the customer product, the sales unit of the order is initialized to the sales unit of the product. In this case, the packaging is initialized to that of the product-site, or, if there is none, to that of the product category.
      • If you modify the shipping site of the line and it is different from the shipping site on the order header, the packaging is once again initialized to that of the customer product, or, if there is none, to that of the product-site.

      This information can be modified.
      Once the line has been entered and validated, the packaging is not reinitialized if you modify the shipping site of the line. You must enter it manually.

      This information and the packaging capacity are used upon preparation or shipment to carry out the packaging.
      During the declared packing, this packaging code is entered if it is displayed in the Deliveries or Picking tickets original documents.

      If you are granted the proper authorizations, you can access the packaging record.

      • Length (field PCKLEN)

      Length of the package expressed in the volume unit specified.

      Code of the unit in which are expressed the values of the Width, Lengthand Height fields.
      This unit has already been defined in the Units table.

      • Volume (field VOL)

      This is the total volume of the packages of the document. The volume is automatically calculated by the load preparation function, but it can be modified.

      The volume unit is defined by the volume unit of the first packaging from the delivery lines. If other products in the delivery do not have the same volume unit, the volume of the packaging for these products is converted to the volume unit for the first packaging in the delivery note. The conversion between these units is applied as defined in the table Unit conversion. The volume unit does however remain modifiable.

      Code of the unit in which the package volume is given.
      This unit has already been defined in the Units table.

      • Width (field PCKWID)

      Width of the package expressed in the volume unit specified.

      • Tare weight (field PCKWEI)

      Enter the package tare weight expressed in the volume unit specified.

      Package

      • Package no. (field PACNUM)

      The parcel number, automatically fed by the counter, cannot be entered.

        • SSCC code (field SCCCOD)

        This field contains the package number, defined using the SSCC codification.
        The management of the SSCC numbers (Serial Shipping Container Code) is to trace the shipped logistical units by means of a standardized code
        as per the EAN Gencod standard.

        The SSCC contains 18 numbers. It is structured so as to ensure its uniqueness in the international context. This structure is composed of a root and a sequence number counter defined respectively by the parameters SSCCROOT - Root of the SSCC code and SSCCCOU - Counter identifier

        This field is used to select a label format for the print.

        Grid

        • Product (field ITMREF)

        This is the product reference.

        • Description (field ITMDES1)

        • the issue is a multi-lot one
        • all characteristics of the stock to be issued are not entered (lot, sub-lot, serial no., location)

        If the product is managed with serial numbers, only this number is necessary to determine the stock to issue.
        If this is not the case, the lot, sub-lot and location (depending on the management method for the product) are necessary.
        There is no selection window for this field. The selection window is available on the lot field and makes it possible to choose the requested lot and sub-lot. When the lot is selected, the sub-lot it instantly initialized. Otherwise, it is also possible to enter a sub-lot number which does not exist. An information message will report it. Same remarks as for the lot number in this context.

        • Serial number (field SERNUM)

        When the product serial numbers are managed in Issue & Receipt or Issue mode, each serial number is present on one single stock line: the serial numbers are automatically displayed.

        But when the product serial numbers are managed in Global receipt & issue mode, the serial number is not a differentiating criteria of the stock line: a range of X serial numbers is present on one single stock line. The Serial detail box has to be checked at the Product-site level so that the serial numbers are taken into account in the packing. The ranges of serial numbers are automatically defined except if the selected line is already partially packed.

        To modify the automatically defined numbers or to select them manually, click Serial no(s). to pack from the Actions icon available at the beginning of the line.

        This field gives the quantity of products to order in packing units. By default the minimum purchase quantity or the quantity of considered requirements is suggested.
        After the entry, the quantities in purchase units or stock units are calculated.

        It is possible to specify a packing unit by supplier.
        This product can have several packing units:

        • A packing unit defined on the product record (from the Packing units table). These units are proposed during stock transaction entry.
          The number of packing units that can be entered is subject to the NUC - Number of packing units activity code.
        • A packing unit linked to the supplier (defined on the product-supplier record).
        • Two customer packing units (from the product-customer record). These can be used as sales units in order entry.

        Only packing type units from the units of measure table can be selected.

        • PAC-STK conv. (field PCUSTUCOE)

        Conversion factor used to calculate the quantity in stock units from a quantity entered in packing units: Quantity in STK = Qty in PAC * conversion factor.

        This conversion factor can be accessed if the packing Unit field (PCU) has been entered, and has a value different from the Stock unit field (STU). It can be initialized using the conversion factor table if the combination exists.

        This field indicates the product management unit in which are expressed:

        • The stock
        • The standard price
        • The BOM link quantity, etc.

        This information is always displayed, regardless of the transaction used. It cannot be modified.

        • Qty. proc. (field QTY)

        It is the allocated quantity expressed in UOM unit.

        • Processed STK qty. (field QTYSTU)

        Quantity in stock unit calculated from the ordered quantity in order unit.

        If the entered quantity is not a multiple of the order unit, a warning message is displayed. By default the minimum purchase quantity or the quantity of considered requirements is suggested. Under no circumstances the quantity entered is lower than these quantities.

        You can modify this quantity if the order unit is a product packing unit, whose coefficient can be modified (see Packing unit table on the Units section of the Product record) but cannot be used with the other units (product purchase unit, supplier purchase unit, supplier packing unit, stock unit).

        If you modify the quantity in stock unit, the factor expressed between the order unit and the purchase unit is adjusted.

        • Weight (field NETWEI)

        Net weight of the delivery. This is the sum of the unit weights of the products (of the sales unit) multiplied by the quantities in SAL of the various lines constituting the delivery. This weight is automatically calculated but it can be modified.

        The weight unit is defined by the weight unit of the first product in the delivery. If other products in the delivery do not have the same weight unit, the weight of these products will then be converted to the weight unit from the first line in the delivery note. The conversion between these units is applied as defined in the table Unit conversion. The weight unit does however remain modifiable.
