Packaging is similar to creating a kit, then storing the created kit as stock, ie. create the package and Jim2 understands that the individual components have now been locked away, unavailable for another job. This means that Jim2 knows there are packages on hand for sale. An example of a package would be a hamper containing different things that has actually been made up and is sitting in stock as such.

Some letters in the field names within the header are underlined, eg. Status. Using Alt+ the underlined letter will jump to the field beside that heading. |
The pack type and the default content for the packaging is set up and maintained via the packaging stock record.
A second packaging process is run to indicate that the building process has taken place. Jim2 will then manage serialised identification on individual packages or batch numbers (ie. attributes) on batch packaging.
The packaging process becomes part of the workflow, where each packaging session can be monitored through defined status milestones.
At the end of the packaging process, the quantity of packages will be available as stock on hand.

Because a package locks the stock, you will need to unpackage the package before the stock will be released. Unpack the package also, if a stock adjustment needs to be performed. |
