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.

The articles list in the PPWR module with packaging units and readiness

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.

Linking an article on a packaging unit's detail page

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.
  • 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.
