When the packaging capacity isn’t configured at the site level and there are multiple products involved in Sales Order Packaging, the process of manually setting up automatic packaging for each product can be incredibly time-consuming.
To streamline this and prevent the need for manual automatic packing at the packaging level, Sage X3 offers a feature that allows users to configure packaging settings directly at the product site level.
Below is the demonstration of process when the Packaging Capacity is “not set” at Site Level:
Go to Product Site
