Adding Shipping Boxes

This article applies to the version 4.603 BETA & higher

 

The method to add a shipping box for use with the Stone Edge Order Manager is similar to adding an Inventory Item. You designate boxes as "products" and enter their dimensions. You can then tell the Order Manager which box to use for each inventory item. You can also specify a "default box" to be used when no specific box has been assigned to a product. The Order Manager can then "guess" which box to use when packing an order. For a single item order, it will use that item’s box or the default box. For multiple-item orders, it will look for a box that can contain all of the dimensions of all of the boxes specified for the items in the order. Obviously, that is only a "guess" that may or may not work for each order. You can also select the box to use for each order in case the program has selected the wrong box. When a box is specified for an order, it will be removed from the quantity on hand for that box. See below for more information about boxes.
