Setup

You set up PackSPOT on the Module Setup - PackSPOT page. You find it through the search ("Tell me what you want to do") with the term "Module Setup". For this page, you need the permission set SP0TS PackSPOT - Admin (see Permissions and License).

Recommended Order

1. Under No. Series, create three number series: for packagings, item packaging lists, and packaging reports. PackSPOT does not create number series.
2. In Module Setup - PackSPOT, enter the number series and the Local Country/Region Code.
3. Select the Enabled field.
4. Check the System Operators and the LUCID IDs of your contract partners.
5. Check the Reporting Categories. For the LUCID file, every category that you report needs the local country/region code (see Reporting Categories).

Module Setup - PackSPOT

General

Field	Description
Enabled	Main switch for PackSPOT. As long as it is off, PackSPOT is not integrated into the standard processes of Business Central; for example, no packaging ledger entries are created when you post sales.
Local Country/Region Code	The country in which the company has its registered office, for example DE. Mandatory field. For details, see Country Reference.

Add-In

Field	Description
Package Add-In Max. Rows	How many additional packagings the Package Selection FactBox in the sales order and in the warehouse shipment shows at most before it scrolls. Allowed values are 2 to 50.

Numbering

Field	Description
Packaging Nos.	Numbers for new packagings.
Item Packaging List Nos.	Numbers for new item packaging lists.
Packaging Report Nos.	Numbers for new packaging reports.

Country Reference

System operators and reporting categories can apply to a specific country or to all countries (country/region code blank). A packaging can have a different system operator for each country, and each of its components can have a different reporting category for each country (see Packaging).

The Local Country/Region Code connects both:

• On the packaging card and in the composition, PackSPOT only offers system operators and reporting categories that apply to the local country or to all countries.
• What you enter there, PackSPOT saves as the mapping for the local country. Conversely, if you change the mapping for the local country, the field on the card also changes.
• When posting a sale without a country/region code, PackSPOT uses the mapping of the local country.

System Operators

A system operator is the dual system in which a packaging participates. You find the System Operators - PackSPOT page through the search.

Column	Description
Code	Short name, mandatory field.
Name	Full name.
Country/Region Code	Country to which the system operator applies. Blank means: all countries.
LUCID System Operator ID	The identifier of the system operator in the LUCID packaging register.

During installation, PackSPOT already creates the German dual systems. Please check them after installation.

Reporting Categories

Reporting categories are the material types by which you report packaging quantities. You find the Reporting Categories - PackSPOT page through the search.

Column	Description
Code	Short name, mandatory field.
Description	Name of the category or of the material. It depends on the country and on the dual system.
Unit of Measure Code	Unit of the report, for example KG.
Country/Region Code	Country to which the category applies. Blank means: all countries.
Without PPWR Code	Category without a material code. The PPWR Code is then cleared and locked.
PPWR Code	The material code that LUCID expects, for example 20000 for paper, paperboard, and cardboard.

During installation, PackSPOT already creates these categories for Germany:

Code	Description	PPWR Code
Glas	Glas	10000
PPK	Papier, Pappe, Kartonage	20000
Eisenmetalle	Eisenmetalle	30000
Aluminium	Aluminium	40000
Kunststoffe	Kunststoffe	50000
Getränkekarton	Getränkekartonverpackungen	60000
Sonstige Verbund	Sonstige Verbundverpackungen	70000
Sonstige Materialien	Sonstige Materialien	80000

caution

The LUCID file only includes categories whose country/region code exactly matches the Local Country/Region Code. For the categories that you report, enter the local country/region code, for example DE. Categories with a blank country appear in the packaging report, but not in the file.
