Packaging instructions

[Former Member]

Hi Experts,

I had a question about packing functionality

i had a material (Mouse), and it should be packed in 3 different steps with 3 packing materials (1 cardboard, 2 paper, 3 box), i have defined the packing material grp, and assigned packaging materials to it, now in the delivery or in shipment, how will the user know in what sequence should be the packing done in sequence, as we know that packing will be specific to customer which means flow from "Incoterms" from SD document, so depending on that the user will know what "Instructions" he need to use for that customer, but "How will the user know the sequence", and how are the "Packing instructions" assigned, and to what are they assigned??

Regards,

MAX
