Before configuring the Scan, Pack and Ship functionality, it is recommended that you read the packing chapters in Base Web UI User Guide. The user guide describes the packing functionality from a user perspective and provides more information on the differences between the packing approaches. In addition, a full list of the system values you need to configure your system are available in the document Appendix A. Both these documents are available in the QAD Document Library.
Reading Paths: Standard or Consolidation Packing displays the sections of this document that you should read, depending on the packing approach that your organization wants to implement.
