Packing profiles are used heavily during the packing process to control screen flow and options as well as how labels are printed.
The Packing Profiles page allows you to create or edit packing profiles.
New or Edit Packing Profile
Click New to create a packing profile. Click Edit to edit a packing profile.
This opens a pop-up window where you can enter the following details:
FIELD | DESCRIPTION |
Name | The packing profile name. |
Description | A detailed packing profile description. |
| Containers | |
| Generate Container ID | Turn on this toggle to automatically generate the container ID when a new container is created. If disabled, you must enter the desired container ID. |
