Field codes IN KNSEKENH | OUT WISEKENH | API secondaryPackageUnit
Definition
This field specifies the unit used for the secondary packaging.
Explanation
The secondary packaging is the larger packaging level that contains the primary packaging, for example a carton or package holding multiple primary units.
Here you specify the unit applicable to the secondary packaging, according to the standard for approved units. Using the correct unit is important to ensure that recipients can correctly interpret the packaging information for ordering, logistics, and inventory management.
If you only sell a larger packaging level than the secondary packaging, this can instead be indicated by marking the secondary packaging as not orderable in the field Secondary Packaging Orderability Indicator.
Usage
The supplier specifies the unit for the secondary packaging according to the standard for approved units.
Finfo verifies that only valid units are used and that the same unit is not specified for multiple packaging levels for the same item.
Recipients use the unit as a basis for correct handling of packaging levels in purchasing and logistics.
