Are you building an ASN and not getting the right number of cartons? Trying to print labels and not getting the right amount?

Are you packing the same item type into one carton? You'll need to set the Max #.

The Max # function in your Item Catalog will calculate the cartons in an ASN. This is done when the ASN is created by Turnaround, and when the cartons are PURE cartons. A PURE carton contains only one item type or SKU.

For example, if a Purchase Order is asking for 24 apples, and only 6 apples fit into a carton, the Max # will be 6. The ASN created by turnaround would generate 4 pack levels, or cartons, under the Shipment Details tab of the ASN, each of which containing 6 apples at the item level.

To create multiple cartons for the same item:

  1. Select the partner from the Trading Partners workspace.

  2. Select Transactions > Item Catalog via the action bar.

  3. Locate the Max # column and then enter the maximum number of items that can fit into one container.

  4. Click Save to save your changes.

If you've already created an ASN, you'll need to create a new one to reflect the update made to your Item Catalog.
