Calculating package weights in Shipment form

Is there a way to automatically calculate the weight based on package contents (item weight x qty) when processing the packing of packages manually via the Shipment form?

 

I noticed that if I use the Pick, Pack, Ship form or a scan gun (WMS), that the weights are calculated for each package. This same calculation is not working directly in the Shipment form.

Hi ​@jeffhunter,

 

As we can see in the help section this field is calculated automatically only when the package is auto created. For manual ones you should specify it yourself. Or you need a little custom modification for that.
