#About Packing Boxes
Item → Batch → Box: physical boxes with their own barcode + QR. This is a working page: a list or workspace where you find and act on records in BSuit ERP (Inventory & Warehouse). It is used by staff (internal users). What you can see and do depends on your role and permissions.
#How to open it
In BSuit ERP, open Inventory & Warehouse and choose “Packing Boxes”, or go directly to the address /inventory-management/packing-boxes.
#What you can do here
These controls are present in the page’s implementation. Whether you see a given one also depends on your permissions and on the data shown.
- Add new records — a form opens for the details.
- Change existing records.
- Delete records (you are asked to confirm).
- Bring records in from a file.
- Export what you see to a file.
- Print or save as PDF.
- Attach or upload files.
- Search within the page.
- Filter the data shown.
- Sort by a column.
- Page through long lists.
- Open dialogs or drawers for detail and confirmation.
- Some controls depend on your permissions.

#How to add a packing box
Steps follow this page’s form. You need permission to create records here.
- Open Inventory & Warehouse › Packing Boxes from the menu.
- Choose the Add button (a plus icon) above the list. The form opens in a dialog.
- Complete the required fields: Product, Warehouse.
- Reference fields: Product — pick an existing record from Products; create it there first if it is missing; Batch — pick an existing record from Batches; create it there first if it is missing; UOM — pick an existing record from Uom; create it there first if it is missing; Warehouse — pick an existing record from Warehouses; create it there first if it is missing; Parent Container — pick an existing record from Packing Boxes; create it there first if it is missing.
- Some fields offer a fixed list: Container Type: Box, Carton, Pallet; Status: Open, Closed, Shipped, Consumed, Damaged.
- Save. The new record appears in the list; use search or the filters to find it again.
- To change it later, open the record from the list and edit it.
- Deleting asks you to confirm. Records that other records refer to may be refused or may affect them (see “Where … is used as a reference”).

#If something is missing or fails
- No data: confirm the company or context selected in the top bar, and any filters or date range in use.
- An action is hidden or disabled: it usually needs a permission your role does not have. Ask an administrator to check your effective access.
- An error message appears: note the message, the page address and what you were doing, and contact support with those details (never include passwords).
