In order to transfer the packaging hierarchy associated with the product information, the Packaging Component Model has to be configured with the appropriate object types, reference types, and quantity metadata attributes valid for those object types. For more information on configuring the Packaging Component Model, refer to the Configuring the Packaging Component in STEP Workbench topic in the Web User Interfaces documentation.
Note: The lowest level of the syndicated packaging hierarchy should be the 'Each' in order to avoid products being ineligible for submission to recipients downstream of PDX.
The relevant object types can then be added to the list of Object Event Types of the PDX OIEP, so updates to packages trigger the export of the change to PDX.
Example:
The appropriate packaging references has to be added to the Advanced STEPXML Template of the PDX OIEP. Consider the below example:
<STEP-ProductInformation ResolveInlineRefs="true" FollowOverrideSubProducts="true">
<ContextList ExportSize="Minimum"/>
<CrossReferenceTypes ExportSize="Minimum"/>
<UnitList ExportSize="Minimum"/>
<AttributeList ExportSize="Minimum"/>
<Products ExportSize="Minimum" FlattenHierarchy="false">
<Product>
<Values/>
<ProductCrossReference Type="Pallet_to_Child"/>
<ProductCrossReference Type="InnerPack_to_Child"/>
<ProductCrossReference Type="Case_to_Child"/>
</Product>
</Products>
<Assets ExportSize="Referenced"/>
</STEP-ProductInformation>
