This is the store of the data about the make-up of your packages in which you ship
products to your customers
as per the screen capture below:-

Some users store their different pack
sizes as unique records in order to save the effort of typing in that data when processing the consignment.
Even where standard boxes which are cut to differing heights are used,
then some customers hold whatever is standard and merely add the
variances at the end. The choice is yours.
Other users also take advantage of the ability to store the make-up
of the packages and then use the system to provide reports of the
total weight of packaging materials used for export by your company, and provide data for the Packing and Waste Regulations reports
as the system calculates the weight of the package make up by
percentage amounts of the tare weight..The system assumes you are
typing all the data, but can be configured to calculate the nett
weight if you insert the tare, but the system needs to be configured
for that eventuality, so if this would be practical then please
contact us on the Support Line.
If you do not have to submit such reports, then to some extent you can ignore the
database, although if you are unsure what data should be entered into a specific field, then the first course of action should be to press the "Alt" and "F1" keys and help will be
displayed
