Auto-Pack is a TrueCommerce add-on feature that automatically creates package records on an SAP Business One Delivery based on item setup and shipping configuration — saving time compared to manually defining packages in the Packing Slip.
SAP Business One supports three Auto-Pack types: Pure Carton, Mixed Carton, and Drop-Ship. The correct option depends on how your order is being shipped and how items have been configured in SAP Business One and the TrueCommerce add-on.
Auto-Pack Type | Best For | Requires |
Pure Carton | Shipments where each carton contains one item type | Item Master Data package quantity setup |
Mixed Carton | Shipments where cartons contain multiple item types | An Auto-Pack Template with the applicable items |
Drop-Ship | Simple shipments where all items ship in one container | No additional setup required |
Pure Carton
Pure Carton packs items individually based on how many units fit in each package type. This option is best used when each carton in your shipment contains only one item type.
Before using Pure Carton, item package quantities must be defined in Item Master Data.
Navigate: Inventory → Item Master Data → (Item) → TrueCommerce tab
Set: Package quantities per package type
Once item setup is confirmed, run Auto-Pack from the Delivery:
Navigate: Sales A/R → Deliveries → (Delivery) → TrueCommerce tab
Set: Auto-Pack Type to Pure Carton
Select: Pure Carton Package Type
Click: Auto-Pack
Review: Packing Slip to confirm the generated packages and contents
If an item does not pack automatically, verify that package quantity settings have been configured on the Item Master Data TrueCommerce tab for that item.
Mixed Carton
Mixed Carton creates packages based on a predefined Auto-Pack Template that defines which items and quantities belong together in a single carton. This option is best used when multiple item types ship together in the same package.
Before using Mixed Carton, confirm that an Auto-Pack Template exists and includes all items on the Delivery.
Navigate: Sales A/R → Deliveries → (Delivery) → TrueCommerce tab
Set: Auto-Pack Type to Mixed Carton
Select: Auto-Pack Template
Click: Auto-Pack
Review: Packing Slip to confirm package contents after processing
Drop-Ship
Drop-Ship creates a single package for the entire Delivery, placing all items into one container. No additional template or item quantity setup is required.
Navigate: Sales A/R → Deliveries → (Delivery) → TrueCommerce tab
Set: Auto-Pack Type to Drop-Ship
Click: Auto-Pack
Confirm: One package was created and review the Packing Slip before printing labels
