Multi Pack

A multi pack is a bundle that includes two or more products with combined draw. A multi-pack indicator is a notation (an asterisk) on the truck manifest and bundle top indicating that the bundle contains multiple products.

For example, two distinct publications, “Star” and “Tribune”, may be processed together as a publishing group and their draws combined on distribution documents. If a bundle contains 5 copies of “Star” and 10 copies of “Tribune”, the bundle top can list these draw figures as a combined amount—15*, with the * indicating that this number represents a combination of products.

Once the publishing group and publishing group run have been created, you define multi packs using this option.

To define a multi pack:

1. Select Distribution | Multi Pack to display the Multi Pack Selection window. Existing multi packs are listed in the top portion of the window.

   
2. Click Add and complete the following fields:

   • Multi Pack—Enter an ID for the multi pack.
