Handling Unit Management

Dear Gurus,
In My Business Scenario,I made Handling Units For My Workorder(Process Order),in Transaction COWBPACK and Received Those Handling Units through COWBHUWE transaction.The Stock is Posted to Quality Stock.During Usuage Decision ,in the Stock Posting Tab Page ,I have Accepeted the Lot and Posted to my New Material ID,as the MIC Results Suits Closely to New Material ID.Now I do not Found any Handling Units Present For My New Material ID.Only the stock Exists For the New Material ID.
No HU to HU Transfer Taken Place.
Now my Quastion is How to Create HU'S For the New Material ID.The Process order Status Was DLV.Pl Guide.
Note: Our Storage Locations are not HU Managed Storage Locations

Line item wise Qty in Handling Unit Management

Dear All,
I am working and testing Handling Unit Management. As per the client requirement, he wants Multilevel Packaging (Manually) for materials as-
E.g. 100 Pieces will be packed in 1 Small Carton.
       100 Small Cartons will be packed in 1 Big Carton.
       10 Big Cartons will be packed in 1 Pallet.
Now while creating delivery I packed 2 materials separately. And in the item level it is showing as a whole, means total 1100 PC packed in 11 Small carton, 11 Small cartons packed in 5 Big cartons and 5 Big cartons packed in 2 Pallets. Please find the below screen shot.
Now when I check this delivery number in tables LIPS-VBELN, it is showing the entire qty of Small carton, Big carton and Pallets as 11, 5, 2 respectively. But actually it has show each material or line item wise No. of Small carton, Big carton and pallet used.
E.g. For 1st material Small Boxes = 5
                               Big Carton = 2
                               Pallet = 1
      For 2nd material Small Boxes = 6
                               Big Carton = 3
                               Pallet = 1
My question is, is there any table or logic where I can fetch all these details for all material that how many packaging material and qty has been used. Because in packing list the same needs to get printed each line item wise. I checked in VEPO and VEKP table as well but not getting any input.
Kindly help.
Regards:
Abhishek

First of all, why you don't have any quantities assigned against Small cartons, big cartons and pallets?
Well, for your requirement. As functional consultant, you should be smart enough to interpret & analysis the data when you have tables and data in hand. Anyways, in your case,
As Pallet is the highest level pack material.
Pass HU no of pallet in VEKP- EXIDV, in your case for one of the pallet, it is 1000013558.
For that you will get, Internal HU no. VEKP-VENUM, say, 86.
Pass VEKP-VENUM = VEPO-VENUM.
With that you will get Lower-level HU, VEPO-UNVEL, that will be internal HU No for Big Cartons & VEPO-VEANZ for packing material quantity.
Then pass VEPO-UNVEL = VEPO-VENUM, by this you will get internal HU No for Small Cartons in VEPO-UNVEL & VEPO-VEANZ for packing material quantity.
Again, pass VEPO-UNVEL = VEPO-VENUM, by this you will get following info:
Table - Fields
Field Desc
VEPO-VEPOS
HU item
VEPO-VBELN
Delivery
VEPO-POSNR
Delivery Item
VEPO-VEMNG

Handling Unit Management and supply areas with WM/control cycles

Dear all,
has anyone come across the issue how to handle a replenishment process for production with supply area within WM and Handling Unit Management?
Normally a supply area is being staged via control cycles. in the supply area, all storage units get lost (standard functionality as far as I know). When we post the GI, the components will be taken out of the supply area, backflushing is not allowed as far as I know.
Now: what happens if HUM is switched on? Do we have to enter a HU for these GI's as well? Or does the supply area keep the information of the SU/HU? I want to avoid that the users have to tell the system the HU no. for every screw they take/consume...
Thanks & regards
Christian

Hi,
(as already described,)
it is possible to use handling unit management together with lean
warehouse management. You activate handling unit management independent
from storage unit management (that is only possible in case of full-WM
as far as I know).
Only in case if storage location is full-WM- AND HU-managed the storage
unit management is always active and HU numbers are taken over as SU
numbers. In all other cases HUM and SUM are independent from each other
and number ranges must be set a way that they are not overlapping.

Handling Unit Managment Process flow

Hi all,
I am implementing Handling Unit Management currently. I am looking for; how does the business process flow change once HUM is activated.
So far, I got an idea:
GR process:
Purchase Order -> Goods Receipt (MIGO) -> ASN(Inbound Delivery) -> Pack & Create Handling Unit -> Post Goods Receipt(via the Inbound Delivery)
GI process:
Sales Order -> Outbound Delivery ->Pick & Pack(Handling Unit) -> Goods Issue
Please let me know if i am correct in my assumption.
Also, I would like to know how the stock is transferred from the stock stored in HU's in the warehouse to the stock which is to be delivered.
For example :
I store a material X in HU's in multiples of 500. I have to deliver to a customer around 100 pieces of X.
How do I go about unpacking the HU of 500, then creating 2 HU's (one with 400 pieces to be stored back in the warehouse, and the other HU of 100 pieces for the customer.)
Is it possible to do so ?
Or I need to create a separate storage location where I have to keep the partial unpacked 400 pieces ?
Anyone's help will be appreciated in this matter.
Thanks,
Shefali

Physical inventory with and without handling unit managment

Hello all,
I would like to know what is the difference between physical inventory with and without handling unit management.
Pl. advise.
Thanks,
Maxx

Assuming you are referring to WM inventory, it is very similar. Inventory is conducted at the SU level in WM if you are HU managed. One of the most widely known issues is the lack of ability to post differences of nested HUs at the WM level. If you are not using nested HUs, the process is the same as storage unit management without handling unit management.

Reversal of delivery with handling unit management/HU #

Hello all,
I would like to know whether the delivery with handling unit management is reversed using LTOG. if it is reversed using LTOG in which storage type would the stock be posted back and would the packaging material of the handling unit be the same when the delivery is canceled and posted back in stock. pl. advise.
Thanks,
Maxx

Hi Ramana,
Thanks for your reply.
in your answer you have said it is not possible to reverse a TO with HU.
But is it possible to reverse a delivery where the HUs are created only after packing the delivery items. if it is possible then how the packaging materials in the handling unit that are reversed are handled and where are the stocks that are returned after the delivery is cancelled is posted - i would like to know the standard sap storage type in which the stocks are posted once the delivery is cancelled or reversed.
Thanks,
Maxx

Handling unit management rquired

Hi Friends,
How do we determine that we need to implement HUM with in four walls?What are the specific business scenarios that require the HUM to be implemented? is the HUM implemented at plant level or the storage location level ? Please provide some info.
Thanks

Hi,
you can activate HUM I) systemwide (TVSHP-EXIDV_UNIQUE). If you have HUM activated in your system, II) you can use handling unit managed storage locations (T001L-XHUPF).
I) If HUM is not activated in the system, the packing process takes place as in the former releases, before release 4.6C:
- packing object is called Shipping Unit
- packing is only allowed through delivery/shipment processing
- no chance to identify a Shipping Unit without reference to object (delivery/shipment).
HUM deals with all the packing processes
- links business processes across all logistics applications; logistics processes (goods movements) based on HU processing are easier, which in turn optimises all logistics operations; you track the movements of entire HUs and the materials they contain rather than tracking each material individually (simplified processing of material movements, which therefore optimizes the logistics processes)
- do not require a reference to a document and, in contrast to shipping units, are independent objects; you can identify an HU without reference to object (as they have a unique identification number)
II) Handling unit managed storage location:
- Handling Unit Management enables to control inventory management using packed stocks at storage location level.
- The guarantee that the total of all HU stocks is the same as the stock in the storage location, is only valid for handling unit managed storage locations.
- If you have HUs on storage locations that are not HU managed, you never know if the stock in the HU physically exists and if the stock information is still valid. There is no guarantee that the data is correct.

Ely

SAP Handling Unit Managment

Hi folks,
I very urgently need some documents about SAP HUM.
Can any one help me.
Laxmanan

SAP HU - SAP Handling Unit Management (HUM)
The SAP HU is used for tracking the handling units used by the materials. Some common handling units are packagings materials like cartons, pallets etc.
In the SAP system, the handling unit (HU) expands on the shipping unit. Handling units can be nested and you can also create new handling units from several handling units as often as you like. At the material item level, HUs contain the complete material identification, the quantity, and, in the case of serial numbers, the respective object list. Handling units have unique,
scannable identification numbers that can be developed according to standards such as EAN 128 or SSCC.
Handling units contain all inventory management information of the materials they contain that are maintained in Inventory Management. There are also status messages that you can call up at any time that indicate whether a handling unit is only planned or if the ship-to party has been notified of the arrival of this handling unit, or whether it is in the warehouse or has already been posted to goods issue. The integrated history function also records each business process in
the life cycle of each handling unit, meaning that you can track the handling units path and development at any time.
Refer to : Logistics -> Central Functions -> Handling Unit Management
In HU-managed storage locations, all goods movements are executed through the specification of the respective HUs, and Inventory Management is performed through the handling units. If you are working without HU-managed storage locations, you can work with handling units (without stock information) as before in the delivery and in the shipment.
In HU-managed storage locations, materials can be managed in HUs only. Mixed stock made up of packed and non-packed materials within the same storage location are not supported. HUs can also be managed in interim storage types. Unpacking a material from a HU means that the stock of the material is posted to a storage location that is not HU-managed.
If you call up normal material movements in connection with an HU-managed storage location, a delivery is created, rather than a direct material posting, which has been the procedure up to now.
Please note that if you want to use 311 to move the material already in stock, but in a non HUM Storage Location and you want to transfer those materials into a HUM Storage Location 304. If this is the case you can use the transaction VLMOVE with the destination plant and storage location. Before that you have to create the HU with the transaction code HU02 Storage location: where the material is and the status: in stock.
Handling units are unique at client level in at least one system. Using an indicator at client level, you can control whether you are going to work with the HU functions. Since the handling unit is a physical unit, the central logistics processes are controlled through the input of the handling unit identification. These processes include putaway, picking, and stock transfers, as well as goods receipts and goods issues.
A handling units mobility can be limited if quality checks are active. Changes in the stock category caused by a quality inspection are made using a posting change in the handling unit.
There is also a report available that you can use to find and display handling units using different selection criteria such as material, packing instruction, or storage location.
Although the handling unit is basically a unit that remains constant in the system, you can change it by repacking the materials it contains. All the packing functions, such as packing, repacking, and unpacking, are completely supported by the handling unit functionality. In this way, handling units can be created in production, during goods receipt, or in the packing areas of the warehouse. If you have automatic packing, the handling unit is created from the packaging proposals defined in the system (from the packing instructions, for example).

Rajesh Banka

Why do we use Handling Unit management in SAP

Hi Experts,
I would like to know about the handling unit management.
What is the use of using/implementing handling unit management in SAP.
What is the need and what are the benefits.

Hello Raj,
I am still aprehensive about the usage of handling unit mangament. I am reading it and it seems that we generally use a handling unit mangement with WM & without WM as well.
Is there any document from where we can understand about it?
Does the end user/customer know about this handling unit is it mentioned in his invoice or EDI?
Will the customer track shipments based on the handling units or is it only for internal purposes.......
What i really dont understand is that relation between the packing instructions and handling units....
how and what level do they differ from each other......
thanks

Handling unit management - reporting - basic questions

Dear All,
I'd like to get clear answers for these questions, please help if you can...:
1. Packaging material - packed and free qty
We put the goods onto pallets and we would like to solve this trough HU. Is there any report that shows how many of the paletts can be used for packing and how many of them are already packed in HU?
(e.g. we have 100 pallets and on 20 pcs there are goods and 80 pcs can be used for putting goods onto them).
(I tried HUMO but it is not for this purpose)
2. FG - packed qty and not packed qty
If I pack FG and I give the destination SLoc in HU02 the goods will be posted to the partner SLoc. Based on this (SLoc) I can see how many of the goods are packed and not packed into HU.
The problem is that I can pack goods w/o sending them to the partner SLoc.
Why?
What is the difference between HU in normal and in the HUM-SLoc?
How can I report the number of goods that are packed (that are in HU) and that are not packed?
Please understand that these should be able to be reported very easily not using several separate reports.
Thanks in advance,
Csaba

Hi,
"What is the difference between HU in normal and in the HUM-SLoc?"
Handling unit managed storage location:
- only packed material can be stored there; all stock must be packed
- u2018HU requirementu2019 indicator has to be set for the storage location in customizing
- a (non handling unit managed) partner storage location has to be assigned from the same plant.
When Hus are unpacked, not-packed stocks are posted to the partner storage location.
Handling Unit Management enables to control inventory management using packed stocks at storage location level.
The guarantee that the total of all HU stocks is the same as the stock in the storage location, is only valid for handling unit managed storage locations.
If you have HUs on storage locations that are not HU managed, you never know if the stock in the HU physically exists and if the stock information is still valid. There is no guarantee that the data is correct.
You can easy test this: just go to transaction hu02 -> create an HU at a not handling unit managed storage location whit a quantity that is more than the stock of that storage location... the system will let you save this... you will only get problems afterwards when you want to use this HU
Then test the same with a handling unit managed storage location...

A handling unit is a physical unit that consists of the packaging materials (load carrier / packaging material) and the goods contained therein. A handling unit is always a combination of materials and packaging materials. All the information contained in the material items, such as batches and serial numbers, is always available by way of the handling units.
Handling units can be nested, meaning that you can also create new handling units from several handling units as often as you like.
Handling units have unique, scannable identification numbers that can be formed according to standards such as EAN 128 or SSCC.
Figure 1: Handling unit example
Structure
The handling unit object contains the following attributes:
     Identification number
     Dimensions
     Weight
     Volume
     Status
     Materials and quantities
     Packaging materials
     Packing instructions
A handling unit consists of a handling unit header and handling unit items. For identification purposes, it is given a unique number.
Handling unit header
The header data of a handling unit is divided in the following way:
     Weight/Volume/Dimensions
     General data
     Means-of-transport data
     Additional data
     Output determination procedure
For more information about each of these detailed points, see Editing detailed data for handling units.
Status
The handling unit is linked to general status management. In this way, the various physical states (planned or implemented) and other attributes (weighed, loaded, blocked or posted goods issue) of handling units can be documented.
You can use the HU_ST_INIT user parameter when you create handling units without object reference to set which initial status the handling unit is to have when it is created.
If you want to implement a status of your own, you can define a user-specific procedure for the packaging material type (see also Define Packaging Material Types).
Handling unit item
The items of a handling unit can consist of material items, packaging materials or other handling units that appear in an overview. For more information about this overview, see the Contents section of Editing detailed data for handling units.
To access the item data of an individual handling unit, select the handling unit concerned and choose Goto  Detailed HU data  Contents.
Integration
Handling units can be used in all processes within the supply chain.
Hope this will helps you and Please Reward If Really Helpful,

Batch:
In various industries particularly the process industry you have to work with homogenous partial quantities of a material or product throughout the logistics quantity and value chain.
There are various reasons for this:
Legal requirements (for example, the guidelines set out by GMP (Good Manufacturing Practice) or regulations on hazardous material
Defect tracing, callback activities, and regression requirement
The need for differentiated quantity-and value-based Inventory Management (for example, due to heterogeneous yield/result qualities or varying constituents in Production.
Differences in usage and the monitoring thereof in materials planning in SD and Production.
Production or procedural requirements (for example, settlement of material quantities on the basis of different batch specifications).
