The Package Type form enables you to add a package type or edit an existing package type. Use package types to define the packaged items manifested on a bill of lading, such as a pallet or a barrel. For more information on bill of lading items, see Bill of Lading Item form (on page 1).
N4 allows you to associate an icon with the commodity (on page 1), package type (on page 1), and the product type (on page 1) entities. The precedence of the icon displayed in the Cargo Lot Inspector (on page 1), Bill of Lading Inspector (on page 1), and the Unit Inspector is as follows:
