Fill a Bulk Package Group

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