Transport Product Weight Enhancement - Weights apply multiple times
Today we have released a minor improvement to Transport Product Weight which improves the way weight is faulted for consignment items created either via:
- Auto-Generation from Sale Orders
- Parsing (where weight is not provided)
Previously, the weight of the consignment item would be defaulted to the Transport Product Weight, regardless of the quantity. Now however, the weight of the consignment item will default to the Transport Product Weight x Cubic Multiplier (if it exists). If no default cubic multiplier is setup on the Transport Product, the weight will be set to the Transport Product Weight (existing behaviour).
Example 1:
Given a Transport Product named “Pallet” with Weight 40kg and a Cubic Multiplier of “Pallets”.
When parsing in a single consignment item of 2 pallets (and no weight specified), it'll create a consignment item of 80kg. (Previously it would create with only 40kg).
Example 2:
The Warehouse Product Unit of Measure “6pk Carton” is mapped to a Transport Product called “Beer Carton” with a weight of 3kg. A Sale Order for 3 x 6pks is packed, which auto-generates a single consignment item of type “Beer Carton” with a quantity of 3 and a weight of 9kg. (previously it would be created with a weight of 3kg).
We are currently working to add this same behaviour to the Pack Screen and Consignment Items screens and will publish another release log when this is available.
