Package reporting is optional, but if you require it for your business it can be done during the pick list confirmation process or the outbound shipment process.
Pick confirmation process
Package reporting can be done on Line level and/or Header level, depending on the pick confirmation routine you have accessed and how the warehouse on the sales order was set up.
| Work with pickings routine |
This routine supports package reporting on both Line level and Header level.
Line level:
If the warehouse on the sales order is set up with package reporting on Line level, you can do it by clicking the Package reporting option, or via the Work with package reporting menu item. You select the package type and the sales order lines that go into each package.
Header level:
If the warehouse on the sales order is set up with package reporting on Header level, simplified package reporting will be available where you simply enter the number of packages without having to be concerned with what goes in each package. The system will prompt the following panels:
- 1st Package reporting panel: Enter the number of packages for the entire picking. If no packages shall be created you must enter 0 (zero).
- 2nd Package reporting panel: The system will generate as many package type lines as the number of packages entered. Package type is defaulted from the warehouse if a default package type has been defined. The total net weight of the pick list is retrieved and distributed equally among the packages. If a default package type is defined for the warehouse, the weight of the default package type from the Warehouse table is added to each line.
If freight is defined per packages, the freight fee is automatically calculated and displayed on the panel. If freight fee per weight is defined, weight for each package has to be entered to let the system retrieve the freight fee.
If manner of transport is changed, the system will automatically search for a new freight fee depending on number of packages or total weight for the packages on the panel. Accept/change any automatically calculated/retrieved freight fee or change any freight fee that was manually entered on the order at sales order entry.
