Overview
Container records support cleaner packaging and stock-structure work when products are sold, stored, or transferred using reusable container logic.
Where To Find It
Path: Inventory > Product Containers
Use the product-container screens when packaging or container identity matters to item setup or stock handling.
How It Works
QBM stores container records so item and inventory workflows can refer to a controlled list of container values.
Main Areas
| Area | What It Means | When To Use It |
|---|---|---|
| Container record | Defines a reusable packaging or container reference. | Use it where products or stock movements depend on container structure. |
| Inventory linkage | Supports product and stock workflows that refer to container values. | Use it when handling is more detailed than simple unit counts. |
| Operational consistency | Keeps packaging terminology aligned across users. | Use it when the business needs cleaner packaging language. |
Recommended Workflow
- Review the current container list before adding anything new.
- Create the container record with clear naming.
- Use it on the relevant product or inventory screen where container logic applies.
Best Practice
- Keep packaging names practical and recognizable to the warehouse or retail team.
- Avoid creating multiple records for nearly identical containers unless the business needs them separated.
- Review container usage whenever packaging standards change.
