You can manage packaging lines more accurately during sales and purchase processes using the prepayment functionality. The available features are:

  • The system generates packaging lines for the associated item lines before posting the prepayment invoice when you execute the Create Packaging Lines action on the Sales Order or Purchase Order page.


    The Create Packaging Lines action is available only when the Calculate Packaging Per field value is set to On Release on the Packaging Setup page.

  • The system displays a confirmation message related to packaging lines when the Actions > Posting > Prepayment > Post Prepayment Invoice action is executed for the item line associated with packaging items on the Sales Order or Purchase Order page. On the confirmation message,

    • If you select Yes, the associated packaging lines will be added and posted.

    • If you select No, only the existing item line will be posted.


      This feature is available only when the Prepayment Confirmation toggle on the Packaging Setup page is turned on.

  • The system updates the Quantity field value for the packaging lines when updating the associated sales line Quantity field value.


    The system merges only order-bound packaging line items.

  • The system displays an error message if there are no sales lines or quantity associated with sales lines on the Sales Order or Purchase Order page.
