Hi,
We are preparing to move our collection
and have objects stored in thousands of boxes. These are given separate
IDs in the TMS crates table. We are planning to place the boxes on pallets and
then want to document the pallet locations as they are moved.
How have other TMS users dealt with
pallets and boxes? If we identify a pallet as a container, we cannot record
other containers (boxes) on it (TMS does not provide for nested crates). On the
other hand, if we treat the pallet as a TMS location, there is no easy way in
TMS to accurately record its physical position as it is moved from one place to
another.
We see that TMS crates (boxes) can be
accessed from Shipping/steps/crating and loading, but the boxes referenced don’t
seem to reflect their current content or location in the Objects module.
Will appreciate any help you can provide.
