In this article we will see how to use a specific option 'Box quantity': you can use this field in case your product is produced in boxes throughout the shop floor.
How to set it up?
The 'Box quantity' field is available under the '+Advanced fields' of the product and can be added upon creation or after, when editing your product.
1. Edit or create a product and open the advanced fields.
2. In the example below a 'Box quantity' of 50 was added to the 'Box Product'.
3. Create a production order for this product. The box quantity information will also appear under the '+Advanced fields' of the Production order. By default, the Box quantity value for the Production Order migrates from the product. You can also edit this field afterwards.

If the field 'Box quantity' is in use, the header sheets can be printed individually (one per box) or all together. When printing it this pop-up will appear on the top of your screen.
