Manual Packaging of Items

You can specify that certain items should always be packed manually—for example, if the items are small and can fit into a box packed with other items. To exclude such items from automatic packaging, you should select Manual in the Packaging Option box on the Stock Items (IN202500) form (on the Packaging tab). Manual packaging can be configured for items regardless of which carrier, integrated or local, is used for shipping these items.

Then when a user prepares a sales order with these items on the Sales Orders (SO301000) form, the user needs to select the boxes to be used to ship these items in the Shop for Rates dialog box, and specify their gross weights and the declared values in the Packages table. Recalculation of these packages will not be performed automatically for this order and that these particular packages will be used for shipping (even if the order is a part of a consolidated shipment).
