Create a Package

Assign items to a box, record what the carrier needs to know, print the slip and put it in.

Anything you do not assign stays available for the next package.

An open package, PKG-00003, showing the sales order it was packed from, the customer, its weight and the lines assigned to this box. — Only what you assign goes in the box. The rest of the order stays available to pack.

Splitting an order

Create as many packages as boxes. Each one takes a share of the order and the remainder stays unpacked until you assign it. Print a slip per box, so a customer opening box two of three can see what should be in it without opening the other two.

A package covers one order. Two customers never share a box.
Packages from several orders can go on one shipment, which is how a single courier collection works.
The packing slip hides prices by default, because it is going into the box.
