Standard Packing Transactions
By default, the transaction type being packed in Standard Packing mode is a shipment. However, if your organization needs to pack something other than shipments, you can change the transaction type being packed. Using the system values in
System Values: Standard Packing Mode, you can configure the system to pack any PRECISION transactions stored in the XMSHDR0 database tables.
A transaction being packed in Standard Packing mode is known as an output transaction. In Standard Packing mode, the input transaction from which the unpacked items are determined and the output transaction onto which you record the packing information are the same transaction. Therefore, you do not need to be concerned with input transaction system values. For the purposes of this document, Standard Packing mode refers to the transaction being packed as a shipment.

There are a number of ways to improve transaction processing times within the Scan, Pack and Ship screen:
• You can define a function to automatically execute on loading a transaction. It is also now possible to configure preconditions that must be satisfied before this action is run.
• You can define a function to automatically execute when the All items packed state of a shipment changes during the packing process. It is also possible to configure preconditions that must be satisfied before this action is run.
Transaction Search Fields
The shipment reference is the default search field for the output transaction. Configure the output search field using the system value key OUTPUT_SHIPMENT_SEARCH_CONFIG. The following code example is the output search field configured for SNPKSD.
[{
"label" : "Shipment",
"field" : "reference",
"fieldContext" : "shipment reference"}]
