[v2.6] Palletization

Overview

The Pallet Estimation feature utilizes a simple calculation to provide an estimated pallet count per demand line and per submission.

Pallet building is often a subjective, ad-hoc process. This estimate is valuable in determining how many pallets to expect. The result can be used in routing consolidation and for building pallets and loads.

You can configure default pallet dimensions to reference when estimating the number of pallets. That number then serves as the denominator for the calculation, with the demand line’s volume being the numerator.
