Handling Unit Number Range

Hi All,
How to give external number range to a handling uni.
The scenario is:
In HU02 screen I am giving packaging material number, material number and quantity.
Than when I press enter system automatically taking one number in the handling unit field.
But my client wants to give here an external number range not the internal number range.
How to give external number range for the handling unit?
Regards
Ashis

hai,
I am also not having access to SAP currently i am giving you the following information, check this out
Assigning New Numbers for Handling Units
Use
If, for example, you are going to deliver handling units worldwide, unique number assignment for identification of the handling units is necessary, and it is also a good idea to assign SSCC18 numbers ( see also EAN128).
Prerequisites
In the Customizing settings for the packaging material type, you must maintain the Handling unit type field.
In Customizing, choose Logistics General ® Handling Unit Management ® External Identification ® Define Number Assignment for Each Packaging Material Type.
Maintain the HU type for EAN128 field for the relevant packaging material type.
Procedure
In the packing dialog, select the Pack material tab.
Select the handling unit for which you want to assign an SSCC18.
Choose Extras ® SSCC number assignment.
Result
A new SSCC18 number is generated and automatically assigned to the handling unit.

Configuration of external handling unit number range

Hello everyone,
I am working on a project that includes receiving of handling units from outside of our SAP system in EAN128 format, and am running into some challenges in setting up an appropriate external handling unit number range. The process will involve creation of an inbound delivery from an advance ship notice, with the delivery to then be packed based upon handling unit information in the ASN. I have set up an external number range interval in the number range object that is being used for generation of internal handling unit numbers, with the external interval being outside the range of the existing internal intervals. When the ASN is posted, the inbound delivery is created but cannot be packed (status 52), and I get a message stating "The check digit of SSCC 10000001000001648 is incorrect. 5 is correct" (just using this number as an example). In this case, the HU number actually had a leading zero, and changing the sample HU to start with a 5 results in the same message but stating that 0 is correct, which is kind of maddening. The bottom line is that I have not configured an external number range before for handling units and am clearly missing something here. Has somebody set this up successfully and can share your experience, or can point me to some good documentation? I am searching OSS, the Business Process Expert Community, and the overall web in general and am not finding any relevant information.

Per your info,
in std, You cant maintain HU number ranges with respect to year.
Still if you want to maintain, You have to use Userexit for Number ranges.
Generally, all sales documents number ranges are not year specific . ONly FI documents are year specific.
Why you want to have Year specific number ranges for HU's? - It is nothing to do with Year.
Convince your client, This year dependant HU number ranges doesnt carry any value addition. Still client insists, only way to achieve this is "USEREXIT_NUMBER_RANGE"
hope it helps

Handling Unit number range HU_VEKP

Hi Folks,
I have a requirement related to Handling Unit number ranges. I need to merge two systems ABC & 123, during the migration process I found number range conflict for Handling Unit process. In packaging material type (0002) functionality the number range assignment field is maintained with the option "An external number can be enbtered (No HU functionality)" and the field intervals are empty for ABC system. The other 123 system has configuration like "B number range interval "HU_VEKP" and field intervals are maintained Internal -01, External -01.
If we merge this both systems then there could be a problem in both the instances. So I need give them a solution to avoid the overlap.
One strange thing is for 123 system is generating number ranges from HU_VEKP that is fine and the other system ABC doesn't have number range assignment setting like HU_VEKP instead of that as I mentioned above "An external number can be enbtered (No HU functionality)" but still system generating number ranges for each transactional process.
I would request you to suggest me what are the various ways to generate a HU number during the packing section.
Appreciate earlier response.
Thanks & Regards.

Use Tcode SNRO.
Provide your object type HU_VEKP
Then click on change button, it will take you to No. Range Object: Change screen.
Then click on Number range in menu bar to maintain the number range.
Hope it can assist you.
Thanks & Regards

Handling Unit Number range per delivery.

Dear All,
Please guide me how we can configure Handling Unit number ranges so that for each delivery document, Handling numbers should be started from 01.
Thanx in advance.
Anup

Dear Reazuddin,
Thanks for your early response.
As per standard SAP functionality, we assign a number range to handling units and system automatically assigns serial numbers to each handling unit.
But My requirement is suppose I am packing materials in a delivery document, then the handling numbers of these packs should start from 1,2,3 so on. And for next delivery also system should give me (or allow to enter) once again starting from 1 and not 04.
I hope my requirement is clear.
Please advise any solution on this.
Any further updates please.....?
Thanx,
Anup

External handling unit number range upload

Hi all,
what would be the configuration procedure to upload the inventory with an external HU number range for legacy inventory and moving forward using the internal number range for new HU's created. should the HU unique check box needs to be disabled?

Duplicate Handling Unit Number

Hi All,
I am stuck with this error where I can see same handling unit no. in two different deliveries. I am not able to figure out why is the handling unit repeating. I checked it in the VEPO table where I see same handling unit no but in different year. So i am guessing it is repeated with fiscal or calendar year. Can any body please help.
I am maintaining number range using SNRO --> HU_VEKP

This could be repeted handling unit number.Check the HU number range is the HU number used before ?.I think you can compare the handling unit number with current number series.
Befor conclude number range before assigned to new delivery is the handling unit is un assigned status 12 (This you can see HU03 transaction ).If yes then there is no problem assigning of handling unit to new delivery.What is the satus of old delivery is it completly receipted or it is customer delivery ?.If it is inbound delivery and completly receipted and the handling unit status before 12 then there is no problem.

Handling Unit Number against each PO Number/Sales Order

Dear All,
I have a query regarding identification of Handling Unit/s Number/s (Handling Unit Management) against each PO Number in Sales Order. E.g. I created 2 Sales Order with 5 and 7 line items respectively. Now I combine them into one Delivery which becomes as 12 Line items. Now against each PO Number/Sales Order line items I have done multilevel packing, similarly I have done this for 2nd PO Number/Sales Order line items while creating Outbound Delivery.
As per my client's requirement, he wants to print the Handling Unit Number as per Sales Order PO Number. I have checked VEKP and VEPO where I am not able to segregate the Handling Unit Number against each Sales Order/PO Number. Please find below Screen Shot.
Please help me out.
Regards:
Abhishek

Hello,
I'm not sure to understand completely your requirement.
Anyway in VBFA you should have the complete flow of the documents:
enter in VBFA with
"Follow-on doc." (VBELN) = your HU number
"Subs.doc.categ." (VBTYP_N) = 'X - Handling unit
"Prec.doc.categ." (VBTYP_V) = 'J - Delivery"
In this way for each Handling Unit you'll get the delivery number and item, and from that you can branch to the corresponding Sales Order item number and get the customer's PO number.
On top of that, in table VEPO you have the reference to Delivery number and item. The only thing you need is one more step using VBFA again, to get from the delivery and item numer, the corresponding Sales Order number and item.
Best regards,
Andrea

Printing Barcode for a 18 digit SSCC No (Handling Unit Number) thru' VL02N

Hi,
I'm trying to print a Barcode for a corresponding Handling Unit number in VL02N transaction code.
I have created a new device type by name ZBARCODE in SPAD transaction, the Device Type name is:
ZLB_ZEB and Spool Server is: fihdev02_FDV_00
In SE73, have created a new System Bar Code by name ZZEAN128 with the following parameters
00 00 10.00 CM 2.00 CM C128 000 .
In the Printer Bar Code option, ZBARCODE device type has been selected and in the Display Print Control page ZZEAN128 Bar Code, Prefix and Suffix has been assigned to the ZBARCODE Device Type.
In the copy of the LE_EAN128_SSCC00 Form I have assigned the ZZEAN128 Bar Code as a Character Format.
But, it is not printing the Barcode in the ZEBRA 110XI Printer.
How to overcome this problem.
Kindly guide me to fix it.
Thanks in advance,

Find Handling unit number using Serial number

Hello MM experts!
I am using handling unit with serial numbers.
Is there any way in standard SAP to find the Handling unit number in which a particular serial number is packed? standard report o something similar?
Thanks for your answers.
Sara

I am not aware of any standard report, but I am not much familiar with both, serial numbers and handling units.
SER06 has the link between HU and serial numbers.
The serial number itself is in the object list of the HU, this object list ist table OBJK.
So you need to find your serial number in OBJK, then you take the content from field OBKNR and search in table SER06 to get the Handling unit for the object list.

Handling Unit number

Hi Gurus,
How handling unit number selection happens in delivery document?
Does system determines this number automatically? If so from which table?
Thank you
ANil

Hi Anil,
Handling Unit Management
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 unit's 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 unit's 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).

Field to store Handling Unit number

Hi Gurus,
What is the technical field name of Handling unit number we maintain in Delivery?
What is the table name?

Production order number from Handling unit number.

Hello All,
I need to get the Production order number(AFKO-AUFNR) for a given Handling unit number(VEKP-EXIDV).
I tried many tables but could not find a way to get it. Please suggest a way to find it.
Thank you everyone.

See SAP note 62077, your application server was shut down, the numbers that are left in the buffer (that is, that are not yet assigned) are lost. As a result, there are gaps in the number assignment.

Printing handling unit number

Hi All SD Guru,
While working in the packaging process, I am unable to find out the way to print the handling unit number that is generated automatically after packing the articles. For the same task, I have assigned access sequence (0001) to out put type (0001) and assign it to output procedure. Finally I have assigned output procedure to package material type but not able to find out the solution. Is there any other configuration required for the same? which t-code is used to print the handling unit number? Please tell me the procedure step by step.
Thanks
Abhi

How to re-use of handling unit number (SSCC)?

Dear,
We are implementing handling unit management to our customer and HU number is SSCC code. The inbound process intended to use is as follows:
1. Create purchase order with confirmation control key 0004 (shipping notification) and receiving storage location is a HU-managed storage location.
2. Create inbound delivery against the purchaser order via VL31N.
3. Pack HU in the inbound delivery and then post goods receipt.
Further, our customer is using fix SSCC on each pallet physically, so we will maintain external HU number range in SAP accordingly, but the issue is, how to re-use of the SSCC in the inbound process? Currently, once the HU (SSCC) is received in SAP, the system status will be PHEX and WHSE, then next time when the pallet is empty physically, we still cannot re-use of the HU (SSCC) in the inbound delivery for GR process in SAP.
Can anyone of you give me some suggestions how to re-use of handling unit (SSCC) in SAP?
Thanks in advance.
Br,
Jason

Hi Jason
As far as I know it cannot be done in any standard way. The only way is to reset the status of the HU using program ie make changes at Table level VEKP-HU_STATUS.
or during the final issue of the SSCC from the system looks for BADI/Exit to achieve the same or do it through batch program to reset the status

Jayaram
