Packing
8.2.2 Multilevel Packing
For the manual process of multilevel packing, the process steps are similar to those
for packing directly onto a pallet. In my example, I have now placed 280 promotional
t-shirts in the delivery document. 20 t-shirts fit into one cardboard box.
Change the value in the Part. qty column to “20” for material “OGB20001,” and
select this item. In the Material column, enter the material number of the box,
in this case, “OGPKARTON.” Select
. You now have a total of 14 cardboard
boxes, each filled with 20 t-shirts. Now go to the better overview in the
tree structure (see Figure 8.23). The cardboard boxes have a different number
range from the pallets as the boxes do not require SSCC numbers. To show you an
example, I have expanded box number 602, so that you can see the contents of 20
units of material OGB20001.
Figure 8.23 Overview of the Pallets and Boxes
There are three ways in which you can now pack and distribute the boxes onto
pallets: pack each box individually onto the corresponding pallet, always pack the
same number of boxes onto new pallets, or pack the boxes onto pallets via the
tree structure.
To pack the cardboard boxes onto the pallets individually, you can stay in the tree
structure. Double-click a box and select a pallet to pack the box on. Click . Repeat
this process until all of the boxes are packed onto the pallets. If you do not have
enough pallets, you can create these by clicking . In the pop-up that appears (see
