      Setting Default Dimensions, Weight, and Volume for Item Types

      Learn how to configure default dimensions, weight, and volume for item types to streamline order creation and ensure accuracy.

      To enhance order accuracy and efficiency, Yojee now allows users to set default dimensions (DIMS), weight, and volume for item types. This eliminates the need for manual input and ensures consistency when creating orders.

      By predefining values such as length, width, height, weight, and volume, users can quickly generate accurate order instructions with minimal effort.

      1. Adding Default Dimensions, Weight, and Volume

      Step 1: Access the Item Type Settings

      1. Click on Manage from the profile menu (top-right of the screen).
      2. Navigate to Orders > Item Types.

      Step 2: Edit or Create a New Item Type

      • To edit an existing item type, click the pencil icon ✏️ on the right.
      • To create a new item type, click "Add Item Type".

      2. Configuring Default Dimensions and Weight

      Once in the Add/Edit Item Type screen, navigate to the Item Dimensions & Weight section:

      A. Setting a Default Weight

      • Choose between:
        • No Default
        • Default Weight (allows you to enter a weight value and select the unit of measurement).

      B. Setting Default Dimensions or Volume

      • Choose between:
        • No Default
        • Default Volume
        • Default Dimensions

      Default Volume

      • Enter the volume value and unit of measurement.

      Default Dimensions

      • Enter values for:
        • Length
        • Width
        • Height
      • Select the unit of measurement.

      💡 Note: You cannot set both default dimensions and default volume, as volume is automatically calculated from the dimensions.

      3. Saving and Applying Defaults

      1. Click Save to confirm your changes.
      2. These defaults will automatically populate whenever you select the item type during order creation.

      Key Benefits of Default Item Type Configuration

      ✅ Time-Saving – No need to manually input dimensions or weight for each order.
      ✅ Consistency – Ensures uniformity in order details.
      ✅ Accuracy – Reduces errors in weight and volume calculations.

      Key Takeaways

      • Set default weight, dimensions, or volume to speed up order creation.
      • Choose either default dimensions or volume (not both).
      • Defaults will automatically apply when the item type is selected in an order.
