Package selection rules​

  • Packages without Max Weight are ignored

Navigation Path

Configuration → Package

Ensure all required packages are properly configured.

Navigation path: Configuration Package Section

Note: Ensure all intended packages have Max Weight configured. Missing this value will cause those packages to be skipped during cartonization, potentially resulting in suboptimal or failed packing.

Important notes & prerequisites​

Before using Paccurate, ensure the following requirements are in place. Missing any of these will prevent cartonization from working correctly.

Required Configuration Checklist

  • Item dimensions (L × W × H) are mandatory for cartonization to function
  • All usable packages must have Max Weight configured in the system
  • Incorrect or missing package configuration may result in suboptimal or skipped packing
  • A valid Paccurate API Key must be configured in the connector settings
  • Paccurate must be selected under User Preferences for it to be used as the active engine
