Empty a Bulk Package Group

For bulk package groups with an assigned container type, an alternative method to create an emptying transaction is to associate the package group with an unloading transaction on a despatch. This association is appropriate when unloading containers (that is, bulk package groups) that are associated with a despatch order on the despatch. For example activity steps, see Unload Bulk Material from a Shipment.

Security Note: You need the Allow package group maintenance security right in the Supply Chain user group security rights group for this activity.
