o. How to prefer single-product containers
When loading multiple cargo specs, you may want each container to hold a single cargo type as long as a minimum load ratio is met. How is this defined?
Example:
Loading data:
| Name | Qty | Length (cm) | Width (cm) | Height (cm) |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| A | 110 | 90 | 110 | 70 |
| B | 120 | 110 | 70 | 75 |
| C | 52 | 100 | 100 | 100 |
| D | 270 | 70 | 80 | 40 |
Loading requirements:
1) A: any placement; B, C, D: height perpendicular to the ground only.
2) Prefer single-product containers; mix the remainder.
3) Compute the number of 40GP needed.
Choose Container loading / Multi-SKU.
Step 1: Cargo → Excel batch import.
1) Get template.
2) Fill template:
① Name, qty, dimensions.
② For B, C, D allow only stand and stand horizontal rotation.
3) Import from Excel.
Step 2: Container → Add 40GP from database. Corner castings 10×10×10 cm and reserved sizes.
Step 3: Loading rules → check "Generate single-product loading first" and set "Minimum acceptable load ratio for single-product loading" (default 85%).
Click Auto-calculate. Five 40GP are needed; containers 1, 2 are single-product, but the others are mixed because their single-product load ratio falls below 85%.
Set the minimum acceptable load ratio to 60% and recompute. Now the first four containers are single-product, with the remainder mixed in the last container — meeting requirements. So when checking "Generate single-product loading first", always set the minimum acceptable load ratio carefully.
