Integrations: Enhancements in the On-the-Fly Editing of Package Dimensions

MYOB Acumatica 2022 R2 introduced the ability to change box dimensions on the Packages tab of the Shipments (SO302000) form, on the Pick, Pack, and Ship (SO302020) form (in Ship mode), and in the Shop for Rates dialog box on the Sales Orders (SO301000) and Shipments form.

In MYOB Acumatica 2024.1.1, this functionality has been enhanced based on users' feedback.

Restricted Editing of Dimensions

Some carrier services have flat rates for standard sizes of packages. On the Boxes (CS207600) form, each box used for such a package can be marked as a carrier's package. Changing the dimensions of these boxes can lead to the incorrect calculation of shipping rates. To avoid this issue, the new Editable Dimensions column (shown in the following screenshot) has been added to the Boxes form.

Figure 1. The Editable Dimensions check box

By default, the check box in the Editable Dimensions column is cleared for a new box. Also, after the upgrade to MYOB Acumatica 2024.1.1, the check box will be cleared for all boxes that already exist in the system.

When a user adds a box for which the Editable Dimensions check box is cleared on the Boxes form, the dimensions of this box—such as length, width, or height—will not be available for editing in the following places: .

On the Packages tab of the Shipments (SO302000) form
On the Pick, Pack, and Ship (SO302020) form (in Ship mode)
In the Shop for Rates dialog box on the Sales Orders (SO301000) or Shipments form

The Editable Dimensions column will be shown on the listed forms where the user can add a box to a package; the column on these forms will always be unavailable for editing.

Decimal Places for Dimensions

The values in the Length, Width, and Height columns have been changed from integer to decimal on the following forms:

On the Boxes (CS207600) form
On the Packages tab of the Shipments (SO302000) form, as shown in the following screenshot
On the Pick, Pack, and Ship (SO302020) form (in Ship mode)
In the Shop for Rates dialog box on the Sales Orders (SO301000) or Shipments form
