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:
- Part/Site/Customer/Delivery Address/Packing Instruction
- Part/Customer/Delivery Address/Packing Instruction
- Part/Site/Customer/Packing Instruction
- Part/Customer/Packing Instruction
- Part/Site/Packing Instruction
- Part/Packing Instruction
- 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.
Prerequisites
- At least one packing instruction for customer order must exist.
- A capacity requirement group, part number, site, customer and delivery address must have been defined.
System Effects
- A packing instruction is defined for a combination of attributes.
- The default packing instruction can be retrieved to the customer order line and used for automatic packing in
the customer order shipment process.
- When retrieving the packing instructions, the Sales Qty of the customer order line and the Min Qty value of
the default packing instructions for customer order page are compared with the respective combinations. When the
existing Sales Qty is modified and if there is only one combination where the defined Min Qty is greater than the
Sales Qty and there are no other packing instructions for that data set, that packing instruction will remain
same on the customer order line.
