Overview

The Articles page (sidebar → Articles, /packaging/articles) shows your products — the same shared article master data the EUDR module uses. It is exactly the same table; in the PPWR context Polygon One merely replaces the EUDR compliance column with the link to packaging units and a readiness indicator.
Articles are not created twice. An article visible here is the same record used across all compliance modules.

​
Linking articles to packaging units

The link is created on a packaging unit’s detail page in the Articles tab:
1

Open the packaging unit

Open the unit that packages the article and switch to the Articles tab.
2

Select an article

Under Articles, choose an existing article. Only articles not yet linked to this unit are offered.
3

Link

Click Link article. The mapping appears in the list immediately.
To remove a link, use the icon in the row; a confirmation dialog prevents accidental unlinking. The link can be re-established at any time.
There is no free-text SKU entry. The article’s internal article number is the SKU — you only link existing articles.
Both directions of the link can also be created via CSV/Excel import: the Article Numbers column in the units import links an imported unit to existing articles by their internal article numbers.
  • Per-article readiness — an article’s readiness is not a standalone verdict but the rollup of the obligation statuses of the linked packaging unit(s). The rule: Action needed dominates — an article never reads “On track” while a linked unit has an outstanding, in-force obligation. If no unit is linked, a dash is shown.
    StatusMeaning
    Action neededAt least one linked unit has an outstanding obligation.
    On trackLinked units are ready; no outstanding obligation.
    UpcomingOnly obligations that are not yet in force.
  • Volumes — the article ⇄ packaging unit mapping is the basis for attributing packaging volumes to a product (relevant, among other things, for the later volume report).
Don’t confuse the two: the article link on this page maps products to packaging units. The component bill of materials (which materials a unit contains) is maintained in the Components (bill of materials) tab of the packaging unit — see Packaging units.
