## Definition & Configuration

#### What is a generic pack?

A generic pack is an item that allows you to free type what it is in assembly. This can be used for instances in which a single product from an item needs to be processed or for quickly assembling an item that is not in Sonar, but needs to be reprocessed immediately.

#### Create a Generic Pack

In The **Items Module,** create an item and name it Pack Generic - (*Reprocessing Method*). This will allow the user to know select the pack that fits the reprocessing requirements. Create as many different generic packs as necessary. ie: **Pack Generic - Steam IUSS** or **Pack Generic - VPro Flexible.**

Next, select the **Generic** check box in Items Module -> Specific Item -> Process Tab.

#### User Access

User access to assemble a generic pack can be configured in Facilities Module -> Users -> Prefs Tab
