SETUPS 1.

Container type setups are done in inventory -> Setups ->Item ->Container

2. Crate a container Item in item master.

3.Setup Container-Load Relationships for Containers and Items You set up Container-Load Relationships if you intend to use auto-pack functionality. The relationship determines the product items that can be automatically packed into specified containers, and in what quantity. Shipping > Setup > Container Load Details > Organizations > [OK]

Select the Container Item. Select the Load Item. Define the Maximum Quantity of one the of the Load Item that should be placed in the Container Item. Note: You can specify container-item relationships or container-container relationships. Continue creating container-load relationships for all containers and items you plan to use. Container-load relationships are used for packing whenever the Percent Fill Basis Shipping Parameter is set to Quantity and also when you use the Auto-Pack and AutoPack Master features to pack items into containers. Select the Preferred Flag toggle to use the container-load relationship as the preferred relationship between items and containers (and containers and containers).

You could potentially have multiple load-relationships between items and different containers. When you select the Preferred Flag toggle for a container-load relationship, Auto-Pack and Auto-Pack Master will use the Preferred relationship when packing that item. For example, if you have two container-load relationships for Item Aone with Container A, which is the preferred LPN/container, and one with Container Bthe maximum load defined in the relationship with Container A will be used when you select Auto-Pack or Auto-Pack Master for packing Item A. You must set the Preferred Flag for one of the Container-Load Relationships you have for an item in order to use Auto-Pack or Auto-Pack Master for that item. If you do not set the Preferred Flag for one of the relationships for an item, you will receive an error message. Save your work. 4. Define LPN/container related shipping parameters Shipping Parameters

Select the Percent Fill Basis. Select from Quantity, Weight, or Volume. This is used to determine whether or not containers have met their minimum fill percentage and also used to determine how autopack should work based on quantity, weight, or volume.

For example, if you define a container-load relationship in which CONTAINER A can hold quantity 5 of ITEM A, you select Quantity in this field, and you define the minimum fill percentage for CONTAINER A to be 75 percent, you must have at least quantity 4 of ITEM A in CONTAINER A to meet your minimum fill percentage. If you select Weight or Volume, the Percent Fill is calculated based on the weight or volume (physical attributes) you have defined for your items. Shipping Parameters: Shipping Transaction

From the Shipping Transaction tab set the Enforce Packing in Containers display list to Yes if you want Shipping Execution to display an error message during Ship Confirm when you try to ship a delivery that contains unpacked delivery lines. Note: You must define shipping parameters for each warehouse. Save your work.

4. Auto pack it

To determine how many LPNs/containers are needed, Auto-Pack will use the Percent Fill Basis Shipping Parameter. If Percent Fill Basis is set to Quantity, Auto-Pack will look for Container-Load Relationships set up for the item and the Detail Container, as well as for the Detail Container and the Master Container. If these Container-Load Relationships are not set up, then Auto-Pack will use the weights and volumes for the item and the available capacities defined for the LPNs/containers.
