WMS issue - nested packaging and palletizing process for work inside the warehouse

Dear colleagues!

I need your help on one very important issue.

We need to nested boxing/packing process in-warehouse operation for internal keeping and tracking.

My customer uses a third-party WMS and the task is whether it is possible to switch to Dynamics 365 Supply Chain. There is a very important scheme of work there, which so far we have not been able to integrate into Dynamics 365 SupplyChain. The fact is that in this WMS the minimum tracking unit of measurement is a box,( as in our understanding it is a License Pallet in Dynamics) with a unique serial number (for each box) and each box has a fixed quantity in pieces. And the next tracking/storage unit is pallets - a certain number of boxes are stacked on pallets - also with a unique pallet serial number and stored in cells in the warehouse. The production process is built in such a way - at the end of each line there is a packing station on the production site and as soon as the finished products leave the line on the elevator, they automatically come to the packing station. Here, serial numbers for boxes (and for pallets) are pre-generated and printed on special labels in the form of a barcode and glued onto the boxes. And already in the labeled empty boxes, each piece is scanned piece by piece, on which there is a basic barcode of the product and the barcode of the box is scanned - they determine in which box the scanned-read product is added and as the box is replenished (there is a quantity of box capacity or unit conversions, for example box = 24 pieces, ) the box is closed and the next empty new box is scanned and next goods are scanned and placed on it, and so on until the last multiple of a piece, the goods replenish the boxes. Next, the same employees of the packing station bring pallets - also with pre-generated pallet serial numbers and glued labels, and this time they first scan the pallet barcode and then scan each box (freshly replenished and with unique barcode numbers) and stack the boxes on pallets until each pallet is replenished (there is a unit conversions or pallet box capacity, example 1 pallet = 64 boxes). This completes the containerisation and packaging process and then all pallets are transferred to the finished product warehouse. In this warehouse system, all products are further tracked and stored at the unique pallet level and below at the unique box level. Any movement or on-hand of goods can be tracked/detailed - which box was produced witch which production order, when and by which resource/shift and sold to which client, and which pallet or box and how much is stored in which cell/WH. Unfortunately, all Dynamics 365 Supply Chain documentation on containerization is designed only for sale or outbound shipment process, we have not yet found how to do it in Dynamics for internal /in-warehouse storage and packing, tracking as above. Can anyone help me with this issue.

Thank you in advance!
