Pay special attention to the second option:
- Choosing "Will": the system will save the pack specifications for items that are being entered into the system for the first time. This means that whenever there is a product without pack specifications under the Setup > Products > Default Product Packs screen, the system will save the pack information used on any order where the product was entered for the first time.
