| Fields & Definitions for Part Package Setup |
When parts are purchased, they may have several different kinds of packaging. Some examples of the way parts may come are:
in boxes at the convenience of the vendor
in reels for automatic machine operations in tubes for automatic and semi-automatic operations
in crates for protection and handling
on pallets for handling
in barrels for storage
in six-packs for convenience
in bulk
The user may identify these packaging properties in the item master descriptions for parts so that the rest of the company will know what to expect in the way of storage and handling when the parts arrive and must be stored or issued to production. The package descriptions entered may be up to 15 characters long. |
