When the Aptean EDI extension is used in conjunction with the Aptean Packaging extension,

  • You can view the packaging item entries associated with the sales order lines on the EDI Messages page post processing.

  • You can view all packaging entries linked to a sales order under the ServiceAllowanceChargeHeader group when the Packaging Summary field value on the EDI Port Options page is set to Yes. However, sales order details will not appear under the ServiceAllowanceChargeDetail group on the EDI Messages page.

  • The system ensures that all defined items are registered on the Packaging Types page.

  • The system displays item-bound packaging lines under the ServiceAllowanceChargeDetail group on the EDI Messages page when the Packaging Summary field is set to No. Order-bound and manually updated packaging lines appear under the ServiceAllowanceChargeHeader group. The system has been optimized to handle packaging efficiently through the Aptean EDI 810 port.

  • The system updates packaging details based on the ApteanEDI944Level4 XML file through the Aptean 944 Level 4 Inbound port when creating or updating warehouse receipts for purchase or transfer orders.

  • The Aptean EDI 856 message includes packaging detail elements following the ItemLevelRecord lines. 

  • The Aptean EDI 812 OUT Posted Cr Memo port includes packaging allowances through the AllowanceSummary and AllowanceLine elements. This applies when the FB_PACKAGING_SUMMARY port option is set to True.

  • A line is inserted on the Order Bound Packaging page during processing of the Aptean EDI 812 OUT and Aptean 812 OUT Posted Cr Memo messages provided the inbound file contains a value in the Quantity text element and the associated item is a packaging item.
