Outbound (shipping) containers are built to customer (buyer) or carrier or warehouse process requirements. Containers are normally built considering shipments or loads or the pack and hold date of a shipment. Buyer compliance requirements including mixing of mark-for, customer purchase orders are also considered.
The temporary building of pack and hold containers, before the actual shipping of shipment, is considered as inventory containers. For more information about Inventory Containers, see "Defining Inventory Containers for Packing".
Use Build Shipping Containers to create, modify, delete, or set up Activity Constraints for a Shipping Container, or to define a Putaway Strategy or a Retrieval Strategy.
