A container record is created when one or more inventory items are assigned to a container item. Items are typically specified from a particular source document, such as a purchase receipt or production order, although standard item ledger entries can also be used. While the container item serves a special role in this process, it is still set up in the system as an item record. A sufficient quantity of the container item must be on hand before you can assign inventory items to it.
