Package Functionalities
The Engineering uses the Package type functionalities to make the product’s packages. The functionalities are:
1020 – Shrinkwrap
1021 – Package
1022 – Pallet
1023 – Strap
1025 – Box Machine
1040 – Bag Machine
1094 - Roll Core
Note: Find this functionality's description at Creating Label Products - Setting functionality 1094 – Roll Core.
1086 - Roll Core (Package)
Note: Find this functionality's description at Creating Label Products - Setting functionality 1086 – Roll Core (Package).
The Package functionalities may be combined among each other. This way the same product may have a pallet and shrinkwrap. In this case, the functionalities are executed in the following order: Shrinkwrap > Strap > Package > Bag Machine > Box Machine > Pallet.
It is also possible to use the same packaging characteristic type (e.g., box) more than one time in the same component in Estimates. This is useful for scenarios where your product has inner and outer cartons, for example.
Find bellow the detailed information of each functionality.
