Product Groups

Stock items can be stored in the warehouse and picked based on the quantity of stock items in the
packaging or product group.
These product groups might be called a number of different names including:

 Single
 Packet

 Box

 Carton
 Pallet

Pallets
Pallets are usually the largest package of stock that is handled in the warehouse. Pallets have cartons
arranged on wooden frames that allow for easy movement of the stock around the warehouse.

Cartons
Cartons are large packages containing boxes or packets. An example is a carton of cigarettes.

Box
Boxes in the warehouse refer to a number of packets together.

Packet
Packets contain a number of individual items.
Usually packets are not opened to remove the
individual items.

Single
This is the smallest quantity that the warehouse
handles of a particular stock. It may be an
individual item such as a chair or a radio or it may
be the smallest packaged amount of the stock
such as a box of chocolates or carton of eggs.
