  Packing group is a feature of the IS-BEV SAP Beverage Industry Solution that allows users to group items together for easier handling and tracking. It is used to define the type of packaging used for a particular item, such as bottles, cans, or boxes. This helps to ensure that the right type of packaging is used for each item and that it is properly tracked throughout the supply chain.
  
  How to use it: 
  In order to use packing groups, users must first create a packing group in the system. This can be done by selecting the “Create Packing Group” option from the menu. Once created, users can assign items to the packing group by selecting them from the list of available items. The system will then automatically assign the appropriate packaging type to each item.
  
  Tips & Tricks: 
  When creating packing groups, it is important to consider how items will be handled and tracked throughout the supply chain. For example, if items are being shipped in bulk, it may be beneficial to create a separate packing group for each type of item. This will help ensure that each item is properly tracked and accounted for. Additionally, it is important to consider how items will be stored and handled in order to ensure that they are properly protected during transit.
