Introduction

The Aptean Packaging extension seamlessly integrates with Business Central order entry processes to provide a consistent way of registering returnable packaging items. With this extension you can:

• Define casks, pallets, and other packaging items that were shipped or received, regardless of the order type or location.
• Keep track of stock levels and values by linking Packaging Types to Items.
• Set up default packaging that automatically calculates for specific transactions.
• Choose between Item bound, and Order bound packaging, and make changes at a transactional level.
• As transactions are posted, a separate administration of packaging entries is created, providing a real-time overview of outstanding packaging balances at either customer or vendor level. The extension automatically creates OData-feeds in the Web Services, making it easy to access all necessary information.

The packaging calculation only works if the quantity to ship is specified in the order.
