Maybe try Package Part 

@CheSusumY Since you mentioned Customer Order, here’s how it goes

1. Packing Instruction is where we define the Packing material. e.g. No of boxes, Pallets, etc at different levels

2. How we connect to the Customer Sales Part is at Default Packing Instruction per Customer Order

When it comes to Procurement, you can define Packing Instruction at Supplier for Purchase Part

Hope that answers your question?

@CheSusumY additionally, you have the flexibility to change / add new Packing Instruction at CO line level

Hi again @CheSusumY , one way to ‘Consume’ these HUs in IFS will be ‘Count as zero’

In IFS10 also you can find the function via RMB on the HU line

@CheSusumY , Did the use of ‘Packing Instruction’ and ‘Count at zero cost’ help you consume the packing material? Or did you figure out any other way that you’d like to share on this forum? Please let us know, thanks

@Rangi Wijewardana is there a different way than ‘Count at Zero’ for HUs in IFS (non ASC) if we want to consume Packing Materials? Thought of keeping you on the loop in case I had missed something. :)

@CheSusumY , EnzoFerrari: I would say that in core we do not support “consume packing material”. Here I am assuming that you mean keeping track of the actual packing material in more or less like an inventory part. So when packing parts into HU you would at the same time consume one piece of that packing material/HU in inventory. And then also have support for a proper replenishment process. There might be some functionality for this in the ASC extension.

In core the HU ID will however be reausable so the same HU ID could be reused after first have been delivered to a customer - I think pallet scenario is one that fits this description.

I know that packing material that can be consumed and replenish is part of future roadmap for supply chain but can’t promise you a specific release or date for this being added.

When using “Count as zero” for a HU as mentioned above it actually means counting the content of the HU as zero - the HU ID will still remain but then be empty. 

Hi 

Any updates on this?

It seems really strange that IFS doesn’t allow us to keep track of our packaging materials. In many cases, it is really difficult to sell/ship unpacked products. Hence, it is really hard to find valid arguments to omit packaging materials from supply chain planning. 

Handling Unit Types or Handling Unit Accessories does not currently have an established link to inventory parts in IFS Cloud. This is something we’re investigating for future releases for Roadmap publications in due time.
So a current possible approach to operate replenishment of these types of packing mtrls by using inventory for replenishment, but the consumptions would have to be reported using manual established options at required frequency, for example by Manual Issues, Material Requisitions, or Counting.
Note that packing of sold & ship products is supported. It’s the packing mtrl consumption that’s not in place, with that reported manually (or by tailored customer  configured solutions) as inventory consumptions planning options are available (for example by MRP, Inventory Order Proposal or IPR)
