Pallet/Container Tracking

The goods in a company's inventory are often stored on or in some type of container. This lets a company facilitate movements of larger item quantities. For example, a manufacturing company that produces individual cases of a finished good may stack several cases onto a pallet to expedite the movement of items from the production area to warehouse storage.

By defining an inventory item as a "container" in Microsoft Dynamics NAV, you can assign other inventory items to the container item. Certain characteristics of the items stored on or in a container are captured when the container record is created. When you assign a container to a document such as a sales or transfer order, information about the items assigned to that container is automatically copied to the document lines.

The following table describes a sequence of activities, with links to the topics that describe them. These activities are listed in the order in which they are generally performed.
