  The Package Building Optimizer (PBO) is a component of the SAP Supply Chain Management (SCM) Basis module. It is used to optimize the packaging of goods for shipment. The PBO uses algorithms to determine the most efficient way to package items for shipment, taking into account factors such as size, weight, and fragility. 
  
  How to use it: 
  The PBO can be used to optimize the packaging of goods for shipment. To use the PBO, users must first enter the details of the items they wish to package, including size, weight, and fragility. The PBO will then generate a list of possible packaging solutions based on these parameters. Users can then select the most efficient solution and proceed with packaging their goods. 
  
  Tips & Tricks: 
  When using the PBO, it is important to ensure that all relevant parameters are entered accurately. This will ensure that the PBO generates an accurate list of possible solutions. Additionally, users should consider using multiple packaging solutions for different types of goods in order to maximize efficiency.
