Boxes per Pallet:
The system has the option to determine the number of boxes that fit within a pallet based on vendor. With this information, operations will know how many of these boxes will fit on a pallet. This information will be printed on the BOL for Mass Market.
Click on the "What's this?" link to find more information on how the system calculates this.
By entering the actual box dimensions the system will be able to accurately display this information (as well as the total cubes) on the Bill of Lading (BOL). This helps control the freight charged by carriers as users will be able to compare the billed cubes by carriers with those calculated by the system.
You must be an administrator in order to change these settings.
