Container types catalog

<< Prev   Next >>

Containers are objects in which goods are stored or transported. For example, crates, boxes, or pallets.

In 1C:Drive, containers are classified by container type. When managing documents related to shipping of goods, such as packing slip, it is important to specify container types used, so that the logistics company and the recipient know weight and contents of each container.

1C:Drive stores all container types in the Container types catalog. To open it:

1. Go to Warehouse.
2. Under Catalogs, click Container types.

In this catalog, you can:

• View container types
• Create container types
• Edit container type details
