Packing Resources

The Packing Resource feature enables users to automatically derive the packing requirements for items on a shipment or in an order on a per-item basis. Customers can view, accept, and update the packing requirements generated by the system. Both TMS and OMS now use the same package derivation algorithms to compute package requirements for both orders and shipments. This algorithm includes a Compatible Resource concerning a Packing Resource that is defined by resource levels. Based on this definition, the system can determine the packing requirements regarding a packing hierarchy.

To use this feature, users must first configure the Packing Resource Policy. Please see the "Searching Policies by Policy Name" section in the Online Help for more information.
