Field codes IN KNPRILEN | OUT WIPRILEN | API primaryPackageLength | Max Length 6 | Decimals 1
Definition
This field specifies the length or depth of the primary packaging in millimeters (mm).
Explanation
The measurement is mainly used for logistics purposes, such as transport, inventory management, and space planning. It may also be relevant for recipients when planning store layouts and shelf placement.
Length or depth always refers to the measurement of the primary packaging itself. Depending on the product’s shape and intended use, different sides may be considered length or depth. It is therefore important to provide the measurement consistently based on how the product is normally handled and presented.
Examples
-
For a window measured as width x height, the depth describes the thickness of the frame.
-
For a board measured as length x width x height, the length describes one side of the board.
-
For unpackaged rolls, the measurement refers to the roll in its rolled-up state.
Usage
The supplier specifies the length or depth of the primary packaging in mm.
Finfo verifies that the value is correctly provided, that the correct decimal separator is used, and that the number of decimals does not exceed the permitted level.
Recipients use the measurement as a basis for logistics, inventory planning, and store layout.
