Shipping Boxes can be used:
- when adding a parcel to shipments (e.g. box used on parcel setup for item shipment)
- when shipping combined boxes (e.g. box setup for combining items for online order shipment)
Using Boxes for a Parcel Shipment
Before a parcel can be added, a shipment must first be created. For more information on creating a shipment, see Shipments - Creating a Shipment.
