Documentation
Definition
Specifies the minimum quantity that a handling unit should contain according to this packing instruction:
- For packaging material or packed goods items, enter the minimum quantity to be packed.
- For subordinate packing instruction items, enter the minimum number of sub-HUs to be packed.
Use
The system checks that the minimum quantity has been observed when it determines the packing status. In your packing status check profile, you specify whether a handling unit can be created despite minimum quantity violation.
Procedure
Examples
If you have defined a target quantity of ten boxes per pallet and 23 boxes are to be packed, the system initially creates two pallets of ten boxes. Whether a further pallet is created for the remaining three boxes depends on the minimum quantity and its packing status check profile. If you have also entered a minimum quantity of five boxes per pallet, the system does not create another handling unit, provided you have entered in your packing status profile that falling short of the minimum quantity causes an error.
