Distribution - Packaging

Login to see Training flows specific to your business

Packaging is commonly purchased in Cartons which are broken and sold in inners (sleeve or 6 pack etc).

Assembly type of PACK is used.
Cartons are broken into packs by the system when picking - reducing the work involved in managing stock

Packaging items printed for a customer or customer group (either internally or externally) cannot be sold to others

Printed items commonly require a deposit to be held.

Deposits are linked to the individual SKU and automatically consumed when the stock status is changed to "Run Out"
An alert is sent to sales when the remaining qty of stock is nearing the sell rate X lead time for repurchase

Pricing Contracts are common

Pricing contracts are checked prior to price lists, default prices etc.
Pricing contracts can be added to from any sales order
Customers can have a fixed order discount % that applies to any order
Customers can have an invoice discount - that creates a credit note when they underpay

Packaging is a consumable high volume product - customers order regularly

Offering an alternative brand item is common - example customer reports that a garbage bag breaks often

Set the existing item to runout status
Configure a replacement item
Daily Purchase Order will order the replacement once orders for the runout have consumed available stock
Sales Forecasting will consider the runout sales as part of the replacement item sales to forecast purchasing
