When sales order line is invoiced, packaging material transactions are created and the packaging material weights are calculated. Packaging material fees are not calculated when the invoice is posted nor are they invoiced.
Note
If a packing unit has been assigned to the item in the selected sales order line, the packing unit and packing unit quantity are loaded automatically. In this case, the quantity is calculated based on the ordered quantity (in inventory units) divided by the packing unit factor.
- When the sales order line is posted, the packing unit and packing unit quantity is taken from the sales order line. However, you can change the values in the Update, print, edit, and inquire about an invoice form. This form is found on the Line details tab. This is relevant when the sales order is partly invoiced.
