Items can be automatically packed into a predefined Package Unit of Measure and Quantity per Package for added convenience. With the Pack-It action on shipping documents, you can complete this process in a single step.
How automatic packing works
If you standardize your packing operations, you can take advantage of the easy packing functionality. By setting a predefined package and quantity per package on the item card, you can automate the packing process while ensuring accurate dimensions for each package.
For example, if an order includes 5 units of Item A and its setup specifies 2 units per box, the Pack-It easy packing action will automatically create 3 packages:
- 1 package containing 1 unit
- 2 packages containing 2 units each
Setting up an item for automatic packing
To setup an item to allow for automatic packing, you must:
- Locate and open the Item card you wish to setup or create a new item.
- Specify the Package Unit of Measure and Qty. per Package Unit of Measure. These fields are located under the General section of the Item Card.
| Field | Explanation |
|---|---|
| Package Unit of Measure | Packages created automatically will use this as the Unit of Measure. |
| Qty. Per Package Unit of Measure | Packages created automatically will contain this quantity of Items per package. |
Once your item setup is complete, review the Packing your Items guide to learn how to automatically pack your items.
