Carton Weights and Measurements (PS30)

Adding Weights and Measurements to a Carton ID:

1. The following list defines every field on the Carton Weights and Measurements screen:
   • Carton ID - the Carton ID field displays valid Carton IDs for this Pack only. This field is populated in one of the following ways:
     • When a Carton is currently open in the 'Carton ID' field on the Carton Details folder and the Weight/Measures button is clicked.

     • When a Carton ID line in the list box is double clicked.

     • When a valid Carton ID is entered directly into this field. The Carton ID must belong to the Pack.

     Note: Empty Cartons cannot be entered into the Carton ID field.

   • Box Type - the Box Type field is automatically populated if you have a 'Default Box Type' set up in Company Control Initialization (CC00/Packing Station). You can enter or select from the query a new Box Type.

   • Weight - enter the Weight of the Carton manually, or if you have a Scale set up, you can click Get Weight and the Weight field automatically populates with the weight of the Carton.
     • Note: If the Weight entered for a Carton exceeds the Maximum Weight entered for the Box Type in Maintain Packing Station Tables (PS09/Box Types), the following warning displays: "This carton has exceeded the Maximum Weight for its Box Type. OK". Click OK to close the message window. You can accept the entered Weight, thereby overriding the Maximum Weight.

   • Est. Weight - the Estimated Weight is for display purposes only. This field displays the accumulated total Weight for all of the Products in the Carton from Maintain Inventory Masters (IM13/Stock).

   • +-% - the +-% Weight field is for display purposes only. This field displays the difference between the Actual Weight and the Estimated Weight.

   • Length - the Length defaults to the Length of the 'Default Box Type' set up in CC00/Packing Station. You can enter the Carton Length in this field if the Default Box Type is not set up or if a change is required.

   • Width - the Width defaults to the Width of the 'Default Box Type' set up in CC00/Packing Station. You can enter the Carton Width in this field if the Default Box Type is not set up or if a change is required.

   • Height - the Height defaults to the Height of the 'Default Box Type' set up in CC00/Packing Station. You can enter the Carton Height in this field if the Default Box Type is not set up or if a change is required.

   • Volume - the Volume is calculated as the Length x Width x Height. This field cannot be edited.

   • Est. Volume - the Estimated Volume is for display purposes only. This field displays the accumulated total Volume for all of the Products in the Carton from Maintain Inventory Masters (IM13/Stock).

   • +-% - the +-% Volume field is for display purposes only. This field displays the difference between the Actual Volume and the Estimated Volume.

2. Once all of the information is entered click Update Carton. The Carton ID List Box updates with the information and the information in the fields clears with the exception of the Box Type (if a 'Default Box Type' is set up in CC00/Packing Station).

1. Double click the Carton ID line in the list box to recall the Carton ID information.
