Grouping different part types and sizes on a single pallet when off-stacking
Usually each a pallet contains a single part size but in some cases it can be convenient to destack different parts on to the same pallet. To do this each part in the part list must be allocated to a pallet group.
Set the Optimising parameter: Box for pallet group to specify the box to use - this can be a standard part list field such as Description or Material or any information box.
The chosen information box is then used at the part list to set the group for each part on a part by part basis.
The part layout for each part is fixed at: 1 x 1
Notes
- It is also possible to use an existing part list field (such as part code to assign parts to pallet groups).
- Parts of different materials can be mixed on the same pallet
