    Fields

    The following fields are present on this tab :

    Packaging

    This code is controlled in the packaging table and initialized by default by the corresponding code from the product-site record. 
    It indicates the number of products, expressed in sales units, that the package can contain. The packaging code comes from the Product-Site record depending on the sales unit chosen. In the case of a line creation, if the unit chosen does not correspond to the sales unit of the product or to the customer sales unit, the packaging code and the capacity are not initialized. In this case, it is then necessary to manually enter them. This information remains modifiable and is used upon preparation or shipment of the product to carry out the packaging.
    Upon declared packing, this code is specified only if it is present in the original document Deliveries or Picking tickets.
    If granted the proper authorizations, the user can access the packaging record.

    • Length (field PCKLEN)

    • Volume (field VOL)

    This is the total volume of the packages of the document. The volume is automatically calculated by the load preparation function, but it can be modified.

    The volume unit is defined by the volume unit of the first packaging from the delivery lines. If other products in the delivery do not have the same volume unit, the volume of the packaging for these products is converted to the volume unit for the first packaging in the delivery note. The conversion between these units is applied as defined in the table Unit conversion. The volume unit does however remain modifiable.

    Code of the unit in which the package volume is given.
    This unit has already been defined in the Units table.

    • Width (field PCKWID)

    • SSCC code (field SCCCOD)

    This field contains the package number, defined using the SSCC codification.

    as per the EAN Gencod standard.

    The SSCC contains 18 numbers. It is structured so as to ensure its uniqueness in the international context. This structure is composed of a root and a sequence number counter defined respectively by the parameters SSCCROOT - Root of the SSCC code and SSCCCOU - Counter identifier

    • the issue is a multi-lot one
    • all characteristics of the stock to be issued are not entered (lot, sub-lot, serial no., location)

    If the product is managed with serial numbers, only this number is necessary to determine the stock to issue.
    If this is not the case, the lot, sub-lot and location (depending on the management method for the product) are necessary.
    There is no selection window for this field. The selection window is available on the lot field and makes it possible to choose the requested lot and sub-lot. When the lot is selected, the sub-lot it instantly initialized. Otherwise, it is also possible to enter a sub-lot number which does not exist. An information message will report it.

    • Qty. to pack (field QTYPCU)

    Quantity in packing units.

    This field gives the quantity of products to order in packing units. By default the minimum purchase quantity or the quantity of considered requirements is suggested.
    After the entry, the quantities in purchase units or stock units are calculated.

    It is possible to specify a packing unit by supplier.
    The product can have several packing units:

    • the packing units entered in the table of the product record ( Units tab). They are proposed during stock transaction entry.
      The number of packing units that can be entered is linked to the NUC activity code.
    • a packing unit linked to the supplier ( Product-supplier record).
    • two customer packing units ( Product-customer record). They can be used as sales units in order entry.

    Only packing type units form the units of measure table can be chosen.

    • PAC-STK conv. (field PCUSTUCOE)

    The PAC-STK conversion factor is used to calculate the quantity in stock unit from a quantity entered in packing unit: Qty in STK = Qty in PAC * coeff .
    This coefficient can be accessed if the packing unit has been entered, and has a value different from the stock unit. It can be initialized using the conversion factor table if the combination exists.

    This field indicates the product management unit in which are expressed:

    This quantity can be modified if the order unit entered is a packing unit for the product where the factor can be modified (see the packing unit grid in the Units tab in the Product record), but it is not accessible for the other units (Purchase unit of the product, Purchase unit defined for the supplier, Packing unit for the supplier, Stock unit).

    If the quantity in stock unit is modified, the factor expressed between the order unit and the purchase unit will be adjusted.

    • Weight (field NETWEI)

    Net weight of the delivery. This is the sum of the unit weights of the products (of the sales unit) multiplied by the quantities in SAL of the various lines constituting the delivery. This weight is automatically calculated but it can be modified.

    The weight unit is defined by the weight unit of the first product in the delivery. If other products in the delivery do not have the same weight unit, the weight of these products will then be converted to the weight unit from the first line in the delivery note. The conversion between these units is applied as defined in the table Unit conversion. The weight unit does however remain modifiable.
