Capacity by item classification

Some items may be irregular in shape, such as soccer balls, or can be compressed when packed, such as sweatshirts. To accommodate items such as these, you can establish classifications to determine the number of items that can be placed in the container.

For example, if you are selling sporting goods, create classifications for the various types of balls you sell, small, average, and large. You can then assign these classifications to the corresponding items as shown in the following table.

Table 1. Products assigned to classifications
Classification	Product
Small	Ping-pong balls, racquet balls, children's super-bouncy balls
Average	Soccer balls, basketballs, footballs
Large	Yoga exercise balls, medicine balls

When creating an item description for a container, you can use the following classifications to indicate the quantity that the container can hold for each classification, shown in the following table.

Table 2. Quantities held for each classification
Classification	Can hold this quantity
Small	300
Average	75
