Container type
This function is used to create, display, modify or delete a container type.
It makes it possible to define the handled container (level) nesting notion.
The container type represents the packing nature of a product and it specifies the level it has to occupy in its palletization program.
The container type list is defined with alphanumeric codes, which are composed of a maximum of 1 characters, with a title and a short title associated with one another.
The container level represents the space that a container of this type should occupy in the palletization program of an item.
Warehousing manages 5 parameterizable container levels, which could be:
- Level 1: Pallet
- Level 2: Layer
- Level 3: Box
- Level 4: Bag
- Level 5: CU or SU (based on the level 5 management mode: Normal=CU ou Unit=SU)
Only level 5 is mandatory and unique.
The grouping code is used for the merging of flows.
The number of container types and their codifications are left totally free.
Prerequisite
Refer to documentation Implementation
Screen management
Entry is performed from a simple grid.

Presentation
The container type must have a significant value of its level because, associated with a container code, it is present in all the product database.
The group code is used within the framework of the preparation mode with merging of flows and makes it possible to transfer stock objects having the same container to the allocation store.
The container management mode is used to define le level 5 container type:
- "Normal"management: the level 5 container is a CU container. This container type is solely reserved for products managed with CUs.
- "Unit" management: the level 5 container is a PAC container. This type of container is solely reserved for prpducts managed with CUs.
