Packaging management as part of transfer journals

Dawid Kaczmarek Updated by Dawid Kaczmarek

When using transfer journals to move on hand from one place to another, the process is more manually than using a transfer order and the movement will happen directly when posting the journal, without ship, transit and receive processes.

If wanted, the shipping packaging functions can be used in the journals, but in a more manual process than for order handling processes.

![When creating a transfer journal and adding items setup with shipping packaging data, functions can be used to automatically add the expected packaging to follow the items being transferred. When using the shipping packaging functions to [Create packaging journal lines], the packaging lines will be calculated automatically according to the selected logic and shown in the journal and can be edited before posting of the journal

NOTE: If no on hand exists in the chosen FROM dimensions, no packaging lines will be generated.](../images/image_038.png)

Packaging journal lines can also be created manually by using the process [Add packaging journal lines manually].

Only journal lines created by shipping packaging functions, can be removed by using the function [Remove packaging journal lines]. Journal lines can always be created and deleted manually.

To use the packaging management for transfer journals, it is a requirement that all packaging lines is to be moved to the same site, warehouse combination, otherwise an error will be shown, and the packaging lines will not be created. Embedded Image
