Overview
Accurate records of an item’s weight and dimensions are fundamental for its proper warehouse management and shipping processes. With the Skustack app you can easily add and edit your product’s general, shipping, and case information.
This article is focused on how to set the different types of dimensional measurements in the Skustack app.
Record Dimensions
When you create a product, it’s recommended to configure its weight and dimensions. This ensures effective planning of storage locations upon delivery, as well as accurate and efficient calculation of shipping rates during fulfillment operations.
The available space in a bin is calculated based on the bin size (capacity) and product dimensions. Bin dimensions are typically added during the initial bin creation.
To choose the type of UoM to operate with, navigate to Settings > Warehouse > Units of measurement and select either Imperial or Metric.
Dimension Types
The following Dimensions Types can be added, or updated via the Skustack app:
Product Info - The dimensions of the product itself in terms of weight, length, width, and height.
Shipping Info - These are the product’s shipping weight and dimensions, including packaging and any additional materials used for shipping.
Case Info - If you purchase products in cases and sell those cases as individual units, you can determine case-specific weight and dimensions.

Navigate to the Product tab > Product Info.

Tap on Dimensions and select which Dimension Type to amend.
