Creating a Package Unit of Measures

The Package Unit of Measure page defines the package types used within your business and allows you to efficiently pack your items into predefined packages.

To create new Package Unit of Measures, you need to:

  1. Open the Package Unit of Measure list.
  2. Populate the Code and Description fields.
  3. For packages with standard dimensions, you can define attributes such as Weight, Length, Width, Height, Cubage, and Pallet Spaces. These values are automatically applied when packing from a document but can be manually adjusted as needed..

You can also link your Package Unit of Measures directly to your Ship-It provider which allows for increased accuracy in the calculations of shipping costs.
