Tracking Pallet Data
A pallet is a portable platform used to store and transport inventory. Some companies group items by pallet for operations planning. The Enterprise Operations Plan module does not use pallet information for calculations. However, you can record pallet information if your company needs it for reference or for use in an executive information system.
