Depending on what is set up in Stock Options, you can either package individually or in a batch.

 

pack method

 

Individual packaging will produce all the packages one by one, and is required if the package contains stock that has serial numbers.

 

Batch packaging will produce all the packages in one go, but does not show serial numbers in the packages.

 

On the ribbon, go to Stock > Packaging, which will move to the Packaging List screen. Click Run and the list will show any previous packaging sessions, along with fields to search by serial number, pack number, etc.
