Add a Special Packaging Code

Use the Special Packaging Codes Maintenance (TSPM) program to add, change, copy, and delete special packaging codes. Packaging codes can be used to create a miscellaneous charge to account for extra weight due to additional crating, pallets, etc. typically associated with international shipments. See Background and Road Map for more information.

Click Add if no special packaging codes exist. The program prompts Packaging code.
Enter a unique identifier (3 alphanumeric characters maximum) for the code you want to create.
Enter data in these fields:

Field Name	Type / Max Length	Action / Description
Packaging description	Required 15 alphanumeric	Enter a description (for example, wooden crate or pallet).
Freight adder	Optional 5.2 numeric	Enter the percentage you want added to the item's weight to cover additional packaging (e.g., crating, pallets, etc. typically associated with international shipments).
Default misc charge code	Optional	Select a miscellaneous charge for this packaging code. Use the Miscellaneous Charge Codes Maintenance (TMSM) program to set up codes and associated charges. The Misc charge code can be one that calculates the charge amount or is a fixed amount. The operator can override the TMSM amount by entering a value in the Misc charge override field. If you select this packaging code in the Special packaging field in the Customer Maintenance (CM) program, this amount appears in the Misc chrgs field for a sales order and shipment. The operator has the option to change the amount.
