The module supports the entire life cycle of packaging structures (pallets, KLTs, stacking frames, mixed packaging) – from definition and assignment to documents through to physical processing.
Packaging structure definition: Multi-level hierarchies with master data (master, single, accessory, content)
Automated assignment: Packaging structures can be linked to documents such as sales orders, purchase orders or transfers
Variants & alternatives: Context-specific packaging alternatives can be stored and copied
Fill levels & weights: Capture and validate quantities, units and weight parameters
Validation & release: Logic checks (quantity, depth, type) ensure that only correct structures are used
Logistics integration: Supports picking, goods receipt, goods issue, transfer and packing processes
Material attributes: Information on length, weight, volume and materials for better planning
Image support: Visual identification of packaging materials such as pallets, containers or covers
Traceability & reservations: Integrated with item, variant and lot/batch tracking
Customer requires specific packaging materials per order: Structure is copied, validated and automatically linked to the sales order.
Goods issue requires Pick & Pack including accessories: Accessories are included automatically via predefined structure lines.
Warehouse uses returnable containers regularly: Standard structure is duplicated and optimized by weight.
Different packaging alternatives for item groups: Suitable alternative can be selected per customer or region.
Shipping documents (delivery note, invoice, packing slip etc.): Packaging data is automatically included.
