This field is to specify the kind of package the part must be in so the parts can be used in certain specific kind of machine, processing, handling, etc. This is particularly helpful if a part can be packaged so the automatic machine can accept them directly.

These items may be sorted in any order by clicking on and dragging the box on the left side, to the (vertical) position desired. This order will be the order displayed in the pull downs when using this list in other modules within the system. Suggestion: Have the one most used at the top of the list.
