Packaging
WarehousePro contains options for registering packaging when receiving and delivering goods. This concerns so-called logistical packaging such as pallets, crates, containers, etc.
There are 2 options: Manual selection based on a list or automatically linked to carriers (packages).
Manual selection
This functionality offers the possibility to manually select which packaging items are received or delivered when receiving purchase orders or delivering sales orders.
Within SAP Business One, follow the menu path Administration > Setup > WarehousePro Settings > Packaging > Configuration . Define at least one item group that can be used for the packing list boxes.
Use the Show list at Outbound or Show list at Inbound parameters to determine whether this item group may use a packaging selection moment during the relevant processes. In addition, it is also possible to start return processes for packaging via the Show return list at Outbound or Show return list at Inbound.
If activated, the relevant screens are presented on the WarehousePro Client during goods receipt or delivery processes.
Freight costs
By default, a packaging item is added to the target document as a "normal" item in an extra line. By setting a Freight cost rule, the price of this item is not entered as unit price in this document, but as Freight costs in the SAP document. This has the advantage that document discount is not applied to packaging.
If no freight cost rule is linked to the item group packaging, the SAP Business One pricing will be used. Versions of WarehousePro from before 3.1.1.0 will use a fixed price list.
Warehouse
Set up a warehouse on which the packaging items must be taken or put when they are used. If the warehouse in question is divided by warehouse locations, then one location must be designated. If the packaging items are stock keeping units, it is necessary that a clear setting is determined for each item group. All packaging is then (virtually) posted to and from this warehouse or warehouse location.
If packaging items are stored separately at different locations in the warehouse, this can be specified per task group. In this case, the task group with which a task is carried out determines where the packaging items are booked from or to.
Packaging limitations for business partners
If necessary, this list of items can be limited for specific business partners. To do this, follow the menu path Administration > Setup > WarehousePro Settings > Packaging > Business Partners . Add business partners for which a limitation must apply. It is also possible here to select a complete business partner group (via the Business PartnerGroup check mark).
Specify which items may be used for this business partner or group. Only the items from the specified packaging definition can be selected for this.
When items are specified for a business partner, only these items can be used during packaging selection.
Carrier packaging
Another possibility is to link packaging items to SAP Business One Packaging. This functionality is only possible when delivering stock and not when receiving. SAP Business One currently does not support Packaging on Inbound processes.
Before this can be arranged, Packaging types must be set up in SAP Business One. To do this, follow the menu path Administration > Setup > Inventory > Package Types .
These types of packaging can be linked to packaging items via WarehousePro settings. To do this, follow the menu path Administration > Setup > WarehousePro Settings > Packaging > Packages .
In the example abovewhen a Container is used as a carrier, one item “Rolcontainer” will be added to the delivery document.
The price determination of the packaging items comes from the establishment as indicated in chapter 2.1.1.
