CPS — Packaging Hierarchy
EDIFACT segment
📘
Establishes the packing hierarchy of a shipment. It expresses the relationship between pallet, carton and product as levels: each CPS opens a level, and its second element points at the level above.
Example
CPS+1'Data Elements
| Pos. | Description |
|---|---|
01 | Hierarchical ID No |
02 | Parent ID |
03 | Packaging Level Code |
Code List
| Code | Meaning |
|---|---|
LEVEL_1 | Outer Layer |
LEVEL_2 | Inner Layer |
LEVEL_3 | Item Level |
Watch out
CPS+2+1 says that level two sits beneath level one. A reading that ignores this link loses which carton is on which pallet, and pallet-level counting at goods receipt becomes impossible.
