Configuring containers

A container is some type of storage that holds materials. Some containers, such as a bin or tank, hold one material, while others, such as a pallet, can hold multiple materials. Containers can be a source for materials (adding materials from the container) or the destination for materials (such as the distribution of a finished product).

From the Containers
tab you can add or remove source containers, by location or individually, to the material’s Configured Containers
list. When you distribute the material you select a container from the list. Only the containers configured to hold the lots of this material are used in the execution of a recipe.

If the containers are not configured, the Source Containers
list only displays the virtual container. There are two methods you can use to configure containers:

Create the containers first, create the materials second, and then assign containers to materials.

Create materials first and assign them to the virtual container. As you create the containers, reassign the materials. (See Configuring storage containers for more information.)
