How to create a Container?

Container: where one or more products are placed. It is assumed that a container is of a type (box, pallet, container) and is uniquely identified. In other words, it has a number that uniquely identifies a particular container and cannot be repeated. A container can contain only one product (single-product) or multiple products (multi-product).

Note: Before creating a container, you should define the existing types of containers. To learn more, check out this article: How to configure Volume Types.

Please Note

When creating a Container, you should consider the following:

• The "Code" of the Container must be unique.
• The "Barcode" of the Container consists of: Prefix + 5 digits.
• The Container Indicator is IA 97; whenever a Container Barcode is scanned, it will be of type 97 + Prefix + 5 digits."
