Container XML Files

Question: When I save a container and open it again, I cannot adjust the quantities of each item. Is there any other way of doing this?

Answer:
Our current Quick Pallet Maker version (4.3.2) can save three different types of container loading files (all XML files):

a) Input Shipment File: If you save a shipment file when in the first tab of the container fill window, the file you save will contain the information of the items that you wish to load into the container plus the type of container that you wish to load them in. So, for example if you have a list of pallets and boxes that you wish to fit into a 40' container, when you open the input file again, this list will appear along with the container info so you can just select "Recalculate" to obtain the list of containers needed to make this shipment.

b) Output Shipment File: If you save a shipment file after calculating the list of containers, the file will contain the information for these containers only. Therefore, next time you load the file, you will see that the second container tab is visible and the first container is visible. Clicking on the right arrow allows you to see the others in the list if applicable.

c) Individual Container Files: When viewing the second tab of the Container Fill window (i.e. the large container drawing), you can save the individual container file. If this file is reopened, then you will see a non-editable container.

Hence, the best option for you is to save a shipment input file in which you can modify the quantities, add more items and change the container type.
