Auto Calculate set as default in the packaging logic is a cost calculation scheme that automatically calculate the cost of the shipping for a specific item/s. It is the process of evaluating the contents of an order to determine the number and size of each shipping carton required for the order. Auto Calculate normally requires dimensional information (weight, height, length, and width) for each item.
Cartonisation packaging Logic uses basic mathematics to determine the best way to pack a carton.
Cartonisation Logic
It will process each of the item details sequenced by pick location sequence. A sequential ID will be set for each item line
The selected Carton type and Size will be returned with ID.
• Do NOT exceed Max fill tolerance of Cube based on total cube plus current cube
• Do NOT exceed Max weight of carton based on total Weight plus current weight x Qty
• Do NOT exceed Carton Length when Length > 0
• Do NOT exceed Carton Width when Width > 0
• Do NOT exceed Carton Height when Height > 0
• Do NOT exceed Max Units of carton
• If Nesting package logic is enabled at the SKU/Item level check nesting
Data to consider:
• linear or cubic measurements
• weight
• data is internally relative – i.e. M3, M, cm,
• Some data may be missing. (I.e. the Item may have Cube (m3) data, but no Length, width or height).
SKU/ITEM dimensions
• Length, width and Height (LxWxH)
• CUBE (Note – in some cases ONLY Cube will be provided)
• Gross Weight
Shown below are the steps on how to enable Auto Calculate (Default):
Step 1: From the Inventory Management >> Click on Add Inventory Button >> Type the inventory item description.
...
Step 2: Click drop down arrow in Packaging logic. Choose Auto Calculate (Default) >>
...
then Click Add item
...
>> Enter the item dimension >> Then click Save/Update.
Step 3: Then we need to ENABLE AUTO CALCULATE in Package logic:
The system will use the nearest calculation of dimension from the package logic item list:
After Saving the packaging logic, the SKU number of the item will be available and can be used in getting a quote in Quote and Book.

4: Get a quotation in Quote and Book Module.

The cost for this package is :
