Package Type
the kinds of package, such as pallet, carton or container.
What it is for
The Freight and Forwarding screens are data capture only today: nothing in the system reads these records except the screens of this module, and nothing posts. The layout also places Container, Refrigerator and Vehicle, which are not set up and never show.
Every field in plain words
| Field | What it means | What to put |
|---|---|---|
| Package Type | The code | Required; unique |
| Name | What it is called | Required |
How to configure it
Nothing beyond the list.
Scenarios
- Some goods ship in reefers. Make a package type Reefer Container.
What it is connected to
If something looks wrong
- Save refuses and marks the code. The code is empty, or another record of this screen already uses it. Codes must be unique; type a new one.
