Warehouse management > Setup > Packing > Packing profiles

A packing profile can be assigned to a worker(s) so that default values, including Container Packing Policies, are populated when the user enters the packing station.

You can create a packing profile for each physical packing station.

Important

We recommend setting a packing profile for each station, and each profile should have a container packing policy that points to a specific printer. This ensures each station has an assigned printer.

The Packing profiles form allows you to create or edit packing profiles.
