Packaging data

Record, copy and bulk-edit packaging

Capture material and weight for each packaging component on a SKU.

Before you start

Have a SKU and reliable packaging specifications. Weights are entered in grams per component, not pounds or shipment totals.

Owners, admins and editors edit packaging. Owners, admins and reviewers approve it.

Open a SKU and choose Add component. Enter component name, packaging level, material category and Weight (g). Add material details, recycled content and food-serviceware information where known.
Choose Save. Keep incomplete records in Draft or Needs review rather than treating unknown values as approved.
To reuse packaging, choose Copy from another SKU, select the source SKU, then Copy components. Copied records are appended as drafts; they do not carry approval or source-document links.
Select component rows to reveal Set material, Set level and Set status. Apply only changes that are valid for all selected items.
Arrange review of the source, material and weight before approval. Recheck reports after packaging changes.

Each SKU has a component-level packaging record. Only approved components contribute to report and forecast weight.

Copying into a SKU that already has the same components can double-count them after approval.
Bulk changes can affect several components at once. Check the selected rows before applying or deleting.
A material category and a positive weight are required for approval; missing or implausible values need evidence, not a guess.
