Units per parcel

Hi,
I noticed the field "Units per Parcel" on Sales Line & Item.
What's the meaning & use of this field?
I guess a parcel is a "box" but if that's the case I don't understand why this is defined on Item level.
Where one should expect this rather on Item Unit Of Measure level. Because an Item can be packed in different
kind of "boxes".
Some enlightenment please :-k

The help is not an answer to my question.
You can find the same field on the item card. The same is populated in the Sale/Purchase order document whenever the item is used. You can also use the field in the document by filling in a value in this field, if the item master field is not in use.
This helps in calculating the number of parcels in the shipment.
Create an order and press f9. The field "Parcels" gets populated in the statistics.

But the field isn't really related to a unit of measure or being calculated from one?
As I understand this is a manual field that should be entered/modified by the the user on sales line?
As an item can be contained in for example 2 types of "parcel", one of 10 PCS & one of 20 PCS.
So filling in the field on item level with 10 would cause errors when the other type of "parcel" is shipped.
In that case the field should be modified by the user entering the sales order?
Note, I consider a parcel as box, a logistical unit, am I wrong?
