Create Container Records

A container record is created when one or more inventory items are assigned to a container item. Items are typically specified from a particular source document, such as a purchase receipt or production order, although standard item ledger entries can be used. While the container item serves a special role in this process, it is still set up in the system as an item record, and there must be a sufficient quantity of the container item on hand before you can assign inventory items to it.
