packed within a package, which has previously been entered in the
Case Details option as per the

Having entered the option and
selected a job, you will be asked to enter the number of the case record within the
consignment.
To help select the correct package record, you are invited to

On saving, the consignment will be displayed but you may have to move away and back to force the screen to be re-drawn and display that the routine has merged data from
both the case and product descriptions files.
When the Case Contents document is printed the case description will only be printed once if it occurs a multiple of times. An extra document added in early 2006 is the Box Contents List, which can act as an outer
label as well as a packing list for the inside of individual packages.
You can then make use of the ability to print "Allocated" Packing and Case Contents Lists from the standard print routines.
The Alternative Case Contents Allocated print will also add specific country
declarations where required, e.g. Australia, China etc.
It may be that you may have a number of similar packages each containing the same product and obviously typing such details for a number of cases is laborious, and for this eventuality we have an option on the
Toolbar – Tools – Copy/Allocate Case which you may wish to examine.
In
order to confirm that you have allocated all products, you can use the
Consignment Data Checker to verify the data. A panel will appear at the
bottom of the screen with any errors
