And then you can assign your package to this delivery unit for transporting your package.
Now click “Finish” to assign the package “Test” to the delivery unit “ABCD”.
Note:
Packages that use a dot in their name form a logical hierarchy. For example, “a.b” is considered as a sub-package of “a” and “a.b.c” is considered a sub-package of “a.b”.
If you want to specify the entity with which a package and the directly contained objects are exported to server, select the delivery unit from the drop-down list.
Note:
The assignment of packages to delivery units is completely independent of the package hierarchy.
