You should consider that products are not necessarily picked in the product unit of measure when you enter this value. Example You enter 6 in this field. Product A's product unit of measure is Units and Product B's product unit of measure is case2. The carton can fit 6 units of Product A or 6 case2's of Product B. It can also fit a combination of the two products, such as 3 units of Product A and 3 case2's of Product B. However, if Product A is picked in case6's, the carton can only fit 1 case6 of Product A or 6 case2's of Product B.
