Cartonization in Infoplus assigns the carton type and the number of cartons to be used for an Order and Orders must be cartonized before running the Rate Shopping process. This can be done by enabling the cartonization feature in Fulfillment Plans when orders are fulfilled.


NOTE:  You can cartonize orders as part of the Fulfillment Plan, or as a separate step (using the steps below). 


Orders must be in a status of "Processed" (inventory has been allocated) to be cartonized.


Carton Types for the Line of Business containing the order need to be created in order to cartonize orders. For more information, see Create Carton Types.
