Shipping Container
From TrueERP wiki
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, typically at the time the supplier advises the shipping details for a Purchase Order.
To use shipping containers you must turn on Shipping Containers for each supplier that sends goods by container.
How to turn on Shipping Containers
- Select the Purchases Module
- Select the Supplier List button
- Select the Supplier from the list and open the file
- Select the General tab

How to create a Shipping Container
