    A packaging specification defines packing levels and materials for transporting and storing products. It describes quantities of a product that can be packed into various packaging materials in a specified sequence. The specification is used by warehouse employees and integrated systems to determine packaging during processes like putaway, picking, and automatic packing. It has a header, levels with target quantities and element groups of packaging materials and work steps.

    Packaging specification

    A packaging specification is master data. The packaging specification defines all the
    necessary packing levels for a product in order, for example, to put away or transport
    the product. For a product, a packaging specification mainly describes in which
    quantities you can pack the product into which packaging materials in which
    sequence.

    Use
     In printed form, a packaging specification is a set of instructions for the
    employee in the warehouse. More specifically, the work steps that you enter
    in a packaging specification are intended as information for the employee. In
    this way you can, for example, give the employee exact instructions as to
    where to place the label on a box, or how a product should be stacked onto a
    pallet.

     The system can determine packaging specifications during various processes


    (see below). Processes that determine packaging specifications use only
    parts or specific attributes from the packaging specification.

    Structure
     Header

    Attributes such as the name of the packaging specification, user name of the
    creation user, status, and so on.

     Contents

    A packaging specification contains a product. However, some packaging


    specifications contain more than one product, or refer to other packaging
    specifications.

     Level

    You can map various packing levels in a packaging specification. Each level
    contains a target quantity, which defines how many times you can pack the
    previous level into this level.

     Element group
    For each level there is exactly one element group. However, you can reuse
    element groups in several packaging specifications.

     Elements

    Elements consist of a packaging material and/or a work step.

     Step

    A text with an identification, which you can use in one or more packaging
    specifications.

     Packaging material

    A product that is defined with a packaging material type in the product master.

    Example for a Packaging Specification and Its Structure:

    Header: Name: PS1, Status: New

    Contents: product A, 1 piece

    Level 1: Target quantity one, element group EG1

    Element group EG1:

     Element E1: packaging material ‘Small box’, work step ‘Place 1 piece upright
    in each box’

     Element E2: additional packaging material ‘Label’, work step ‘Place label on
    upper left’

    Level 2: Target quantity 50, shift quantity 10, element group EG2

    Element group EG2:

     Element E3: packaging material ‘Pallet’, work step ‘Place boxes layer by layer
    onto pallet’

    Integration
    The following figure shows which processes use the packaging specification, and
    using which components:
    In both the Inventory Collaboration Hub (ICH) and in Extended Warehouse
    Management (EWM), you can use the same packaging specification for an inbound
    delivery or an ASN that you then use for the process Automatic Packing .

    Example
    Palletization data in EWM

    In your warehouse, you put away product A onto pallets for 50 pieces. Create a
    packaging specification with a level that contains the main packaging material Pallet
    and the contents Product A. For this level, enter the target quantity 50.

    In the process ‘Putaway’ for the inbound delivery, the system splits the quantity in
    the inbound delivery across multiple warehouse tasks, due to this packaging
    specification For example, if a quantity of 100 pieces is delivered, then the system
    creates two warehouse tasks for 50 pieces.

    Functions of the Packaging Specification


    The following functions are possible for packaging specifications:

     Create, copy, and activate (see also: Creation of Packaging Specifications)

     Search (see also Packaging Specification Determination)

     Distribute into multiple systems.
