Adding and Editing Packaging
You will be able to choose a variety of components from the (Inventory->Add/Edit Packaging) menu including Capsules, Case Types, Containers, Cottons, Cut Bands, Desiccants, Inserts, Lids and Scoops. However, if you have requested custom needs for your unique manufacturing processes, these menu items may be different. Begin inputting the information into the details section on the left by filling in the empty data fields with the required information. Verify your information to be correct and then click the Save button to create the new packaging item. Please be aware that the available information inputs can differ depending on the component that you are adding or editing. Example image for this window can be seen below.
Label types (labels/master case labels/case labels) cannot be edited from the Inventory section. To learn more about editing Label types click here.
Files
You can add files to a component by using the files section located to the right of the Details block. Add files by dragging them onto the files section. Successfully added files will show up in the list. In the event you want to include the file when creating and sending (emailing) a PO (purchase order) make sure to click the email check box.
Vendor Pricing
The vendor pricing area, located at the bottom portion of the edit window, allows you to enter and record different vendor and vendor tiers of pricing for components/ingredients. This can be helpful when creating PO’s. For more information on PO’s (purchase orders and creation) click here.
