Enter Default Packing Instruction

Explanation

This activity is used to define packing instructions which will be retrieved to customer orders based on certain criteria. This task should be performed by a system administrator or an equivalent person.

When entering a packing instruction, the following combinations of attributes can be used with priority orders:

  1. Part/Site/Customer/Delivery Address/Packing Instruction
  2. Part/Customer/Delivery Address/Packing Instruction
  3. Part/Site/Customer/Packing Instruction
  4. Part/Customer/Packing Instruction
  5. Part/Site/Packing Instruction
  6. Part/Packing Instruction
  7. Capacity Requirement Group/Packing Instruction

In addition to the attributes mentioned above, Min Qty and UoM can be specified for each of the seven combinations. Min Qty can have a positive / NULL value. If the Min Qty has a positive value, UoM field is required. UoM is automatically filled when the part is selected. For a combination that does not have a site, part UoM will be fetched from the part catalog. For a combination that has a site, part UoM will be fetched from Sales Part's/Non-Inventory Sales Part’s/Package-Part’s Sales UoM. Users must remove the automatically fetched UoM, when saving a combination without Min Qty and UoM. However, combinations with the Min Qty are prioritized when fetching packing instructions for the customer order line.
