Containers buttonImage Modified

You enable the packout system by creating boxes in the Containers area of the NPI client application. You define a box, assign a Unique Identifier (UID) to it, then add it to your inventory. If you use the same box for different packing lists or products, you can quickly create specific instances of the same box, each with a different UID or barcode and add those to your inventory. After you create boxes, you add a packout step to a process definition; the boxes are then utilized in production.
