Load - Multi-Stage Loading
Cube-IQ caters for multi-stage loading, for example boxes onto pallets, and then those pallets into trucks. Start by setting up a Load for loading only the smallest items into the smallest container type.
Important: For the Stage 2 creation to work correctly, the 'Container' of Stage 1 (usually carton or pallet) must have its 'Outside Dimensions' filled in in Container Details.
After creation of Stage 2, you will be able to find all loaded pallets of Stage 1 in the Product Details, as these 'Containers' have now been converted automatically to 'Products'. If the name of the Stage 1 Load was 'xyz', they will be called 'xyz/1', xyz/2' etc. In Product Details you will find what was loaded on the pallets on the Items tab. these temporary, artificial Products will get deleted with the Load in which they play a role.
