The packaging report shows how much packaging you have put on the market, based on the packaging usage Traede records automatically when invoices and credit notes are booked. From the report you can download filing-ready CSV exports for the Danish (DK UPV), Swedish (SE NPA), and Norwegian (NO Grønt Punkt) EPR schemes.

How packaging usage is recorded
When an invoice is booked, Traede resolves each line's product BOM and records the packaging used: invoice quantity × BOM quantity, with the weight taken from the packaging product's gross weight. Only booked invoices and credit notes appear in the report — open documents are not counted.
Important: Booking is blocked if a packaging product on the BOM has no weight. Set the gross weight on the packaging product and book again.
Generating the report
- Go to Reports → Packaging.
- Select a From date and To date.
- Optionally narrow by Ship-to countries and select the Internal company the sales were invoiced through.
- Choose a View: Aggregated by material (filing shape) for the totals your filing needs, or Per packaging product (drill-down) to see the numbers per packaging item.
- Click Generate.

Reading the report
The aggregated view groups usage by selling country, delivery country, material, packaging type, reusable flag, and environmental grade — the same shape the filing schemes ask for. Quantities and weights are split into B2B and B2C columns.
| Column | Meaning |
|---|---|
| Selling country | The country of the internal company that issued the invoice. |
| Delivery country | The ship-to country on the invoice. |
| Material / Type / Reusable / Grade | The EPR data from the packaging product's master data. |
| B2B qty / B2C qty / Total qty | Packaging units. B2C and POS orders count as B2C; everything else is B2B. |
| B2B weight (kg) / B2C weight (kg) / Total weight (kg) | Packaging weight in kilograms. |
The per-product view shows the same numbers broken down by packaging product and variant, which is useful for checking where the totals come from.
Note: The report reads material, type, grade, and reusable flag from the packaging product's current master data. If you change these fields, already recorded rows are reported with the new values.
Downloading scheme filings
Below the filters, the Scheme-specific exports buttons download a CSV in the format each scheme expects:
- DK UPV — the Danish producer responsibility filing.
- SE NPA — the Swedish NPA filing.
- NO Grønt Punkt — the Norwegian Grønt Punkt filing.
Each export is only available when you have an internal company registered in that country, and it uses the From date, To date, and Internal company filters.
Important: The report warns you if packaging products sold through a Danish or Swedish company are missing an environmental grade. The Danish export treats ungraded packaging as Red, which carries a 35% fee malus — set the grades on the affected products to avoid overpaying.
How credit notes affect the report
Booked credit notes subtract packaging from the report when the goods actually come back: the credit note must be a return or exchange that returns inventory, and the BOM line must have Return on credit notes checked. Credit notes for pure price adjustments or claims without returned goods do not affect packaging numbers.
Recalculating packaging usage
Booked invoices keep the packaging usage recorded at booking time. If you have changed a BOM or fixed a packaging product after booking, rebuild the usage on the affected invoices:
- Go to Invoices and select the affected invoices.
- Open the Action dropdown and choose Recalculate packaging usage.
- Review the list in the dialog and click Recalculate packaging.
