The following example shows you how to configure the packaging logic.

Packaging Logic Configuration

The packaging logic service doesn't require any service data setup.

Given the following items and packages:

{
    "items": [
        {
            "reference": "SKU-1",
            "length": "250",
            "height": "250",
            "width": "250",
            "weight": "3",
            "qty": "5"
        },
        {
            "reference": "SKU-2",
            "length": "600",
            "height": "600",
            "width": "600",
            "weight": "3",
            "qty": "3"
        }
    ],
    "packages": [
        {
            "reference": "package 1",
            "innerLength": "545",
            "innerWidth": "545",
            "innerHeight": "545",
            "outerLength": "550",
            "outerWidth": "550",
            "outerHeight": "550",
            "emptyWeight": "10",
            "maxWeight": "100"
        }
    ]
}

In this example the following output will be generated automatically by this service after it is run:

        "weight": 25,
        "itemReferences": "SKU-1,SKU-1,SKU-1,SKU-1,SKU-1",
        "volumeUtilization": 48.3,
