Feature details
Some items are packed or stored in such a way that there is a need to track physical dimensions for the different processes. A new field is being added to the Physical dimensions page to allow users to specify what process the specified dimensions are used for: packing, storage, or nested packing. The storage dimensions will be used along with location volumetrics to determine how much of the item can be stored in locations in the warehouse. The packing dimensions will be used during containerization and the manual packing process to determine how many of the items will fit in different container types. The nested packing dimensions will be used when the packing process contains multiple levels.
