== Overview ==

Shipping containers are used to track stock on order, whether for stock or for a specific customer order.  A container
can contain multiple products for multiple orders and must be created before it can be used at [[Shipping Container]]. 
This typically happens at the time the supplier advises the shipping details for a Purchase Order.

Ways Lists in ERP can be Manipulated: 

*[[Filtering Lists]] 
*[[Searching f5 f6 f7]] 
*[[Customising Lists]] 
*[[Report Printing Options]] 
*[[Export Data]]

Shipping Containers are linked to Purchase Orders.  If the Purchase Order was created from a Smart Order the 
Shipping Container, the container is then linked to the underlying Sales Order or Invoice as well.
