Missing Weight / Volume data in handling unit

Hi; I'm trying to realize automatic packing function for outbound delivery.
System works well after POP1 - creating packing instruction, POF1 packing instruction determination. However, after I change package material master data (Volume / Weight), handling unit is missing weight, Volume data in new created delivery document although packing instruction has been determined.
Checking Packing instruction master data, total weight / volume has been automatically updated. Why new handing unit is missing weight / volume data during automatic packing transaction in delivery?
Is there any things i'm missing? Can anyone help for this? Thanks.

Thanks for your answers, Csaba and muthuraman.d.
Yes. I was also supposing that HU can automatically calculate weight / Volume from Material master data (package material & packed material). It worked before(the week before last week). Now new generated HU are missing those data. This error is in case on all deliveries.
Even I create new package material / new finish goods and brand NEW packing instruction for testing, HU can be automaticly generated by auto packing button. But they are missing weight / volume data. This problem seems not relevant to master data(package material weight / volume) changes. I'm suspecting system program has some changes but I don't know where it is.
Only when I set indicator at packing instruction - " Maintain Weight manually" or "Maintain Volume Manually", those weight / volume data can be coppied into new generated HU in delivery which is full packed.
System really can automatic calculate weight / volume data directly from Material master data for HU before(not set - "Maintain xxx manually" in packing instruction). What's wrong with it now?

URGENT DELIVERY HANDLING UNIT STATUS ERROR

Hi Experts when i am doing PGI i am getting the following error and system is not allowing to do PGI
ERROR: When trying to read the status of an object (HU 210868), a system error occurred: For object number HU0000210868 there is no status object.

Hi Ramesh,
The material is having the Packing ( Handling Units).
In delivery please do the Packing for the Materials because they have linked with the Handling Units. and Also check the wheather the Handling Units are configured properly.
For your Information please go through the Below which will help you further.
The SAP Handling Unit Management system allows you to manage the entire movement of the handling units and the materials they contain rather than tracking each material individually.

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.

Who familiar with Handling Unit Management(HUM) module?

Hi,
It was said that if we active the HUM module in Clint level. Then the packing BOX number will not be allowed to be duplicated.
Whether this means that VEKP-EXIDV, this field will not be allowed to be duplicated??
Could anyone help my understanding on this? Thanks!
Thanks.

Handling Unit problem in Packing for STO

Hello All,
The problem is related to Packing process in case of Stock Transfer Order (STO).After making delivery while doing the packing procedure, in " Handling Unit " supplements 'Handling Unit Group 1' field is not getting populated / assigned automatically (under additional data tab) though all the master data against 'Handling Unit Group 1' for example 00001 to 00500 are already maintained.Apart from this the combination of finished good & packing material in the packaging instruction in POP2 are also maintained.
Point to be noted is in another scenario the handling unit is getting automatically populated in the packing process after delivery where also the above mentioned areas are not maintained, but still it is working properly which is not clear why & how is this taking place.
The procedure followed in the second scenario which is working are as follows -
In outbound delivery change mode (T Code - VL02N) go to Pack -> Click on Pack Proposal -> Expand packing instruction -> select 602 -> Create HUs -> Message shown is Handling Units were created -> click on Pack material & select the 'Handling Unit' line -> then select 'Detailed view general' -> then go to Additional Data where in Handling Unit Group 1, value is automatically populated / assigned for example 00027.
In my process the value for example 00001 is not getting automatically populated/ assigned.How to do this ?
Looking forward to some valuable suggestions at the earliest.
Thanks & Regards
Priyanka Mitra

I see you hae reposted the question, please request for a solution from SAP they might proide you an OSS note.

Changing Handling unit weight does not update delivery header weight

Dears,
when we pack an item on a palett, system calculates tara-weight + material weight = gross weight and inserts this value to the likp-btgew. this is correct.
now it happens, that shipping departement uses a scale to get the 'real' weight of the handling unit. if the weigth differs, they change the loading weight of the HU. system calculates correct the new gross weight of the HU.
But when going back to delivery view, the likp-btgew is not updated. Do we miss a setting?
thanks a lot for your help!

External Handling Unit (Barcode) Information is Missing

Hello Folks,
I got a requirement where a warehouse will send us an EDI 945 file to confirm the shipment completion. But, it send us the file without SSCC labels for those shipped items of the order. This 945 is being translated into a SHPCON IDOC(DELVRY03) which doesn't contain the E1EDL37(Handling unit header). This IDOC is failing in status 51 with the error message: External Handling Unit (Barcode) Information is Missing.
What should be done to get this IDOC posted sucessfully even if it doesn't contain the SSCC label? Is there any setting that should be changed for this customer to not to look for SSCC labels(External Handling unit).
Thanks for your help,
Siva

This could be because of custom code. Check the exits in inbound FM and you should find out the root cause. Standard SAP doesn't check for customer level SSCC checks. If it gets the HU's from 3PL, it'll pack it such way. If it doesn't, it'll pack is the usual way.

"Current assignment" field missing in Handling Unit status tab

Our scenario is as below:
1. STO created and outbound deliveries generated
2. Deliveries are assigned to shipment
3. Packing is done using RF transaction
In the normal scenario, the HU status tab would show the outbound delivery number in the current assignment tab. But for some Handling Units, the current assignment field shows blank. Also, the contents tab shows only the delivery line item number and not the delivery number. We have also noticed that the problem delivery line items have been packed in 2 different Handling Units, each containing the full delivery line item quantity. (not sure how this is possible). One of the HU is displayed correctly but the other one has the missing delivery number issue.
Has anyone encountered such a scenario? How is the system allowing to pack the same delivery item quantity in 2 different Handling Units? Any suggestions in this regard would be very helpful.

Hi,
Thank you very much...
i have another doubt.....
i am unable to understand determination of packing instructions.
where it is linking i am confused.
we are assigning the determination procedure in the T.code
OVHU2.(Maintain Packing Transaction Profile in IMG).
my doubt is where we are assigning this Transaction Profile in Handling Units.
Please help me....
with regards

Weight in handling unit

Can anyone tell me how does the system calculate the loading weight in the handling unit?
Can anyone also tell me where to do all the settings.
In the handling unit the total weight appears 54 althought the weight of the delivery 36 LB. The packaging material weight is .01 kg. the number of items are 20 and their weight is 1.84.

Not answered but issue closed.

Handling unit weight into outbound delivery weight?

Hi,
I would like to transfer the total of my Handling unit weight to my outbound delivery weight. This is at this moment copied from the Sales order. How can I change that SAP will use the weights of the HU? Anybody?
Thank you,
Eric van Zundert.
Edited by: eric van zundert on Feb 25, 2008 2:49 PM

Dear Eric,
if you also want to add the weight of the packaging materials to the weight of the delivery, you will have to create a delivery item for the packaging materials. Please check note 831204 for the necessary settings.
I hope I could help you with this.

Ely

Missing Handling Unit

Hi All,
I have a delivery with 3 line items.
One of the operators forgot to create a handling unit for item 20.
Is there a tcode I can use to create a handling unit and assign that handling unit to my delivery?
Please help.
Meghna

What T code you are using to create HU (Which u mentioned yours operator missed)
You can create HU and then in VL02N assign the HU number in packing button.
Or
You can create directly from VL02N through the packing button

Vishal

Weight from Handling Unit not copied into outbound delivery weight field.

Hi,
We create handling units with hupast and with a weight interface. If we select the HU in the outbound delivery, we need the total weight of all HU displayed in the outbound delivery. This is not happening. The total weight which is shown is the weight of the material master.
How can we put HU weight in the outbound delivery?
Thank you,
Eric van Zundert.

hi Eric,
you habe to do this with a user exit.
In the deliveries, there is only one good userexit at the time save dcoument prepare. -- there is a oss - note for it.
I copy at every save the sum of the HU-weights in the fields of likp.
Additionally at time of goods out - boocking, i collect the LIKP-weight upon all positions of the lips, so that the sum of lips-weights will give the likp-weight.
You need to do this, because in invoice, the weight is taken as sum of the positions and the following processes of export will also take the weight of the invoice-position.

Changing posting date at usage decision for handle units. How?

Does anybody know how to change posting date at usage decision for handle units (HU)?
If the material is not managed by HU, SAP allows this modification (there's a button with a hat on it referring the material document header).
For HU I cannot seem to change posting date!
Seba

Yes it's possible! Well,...unless for versions 4.6C, 4.7 and ECC 5.
I've found SAP Note #752131 by which SAP declares that you can create the pushbutton from the Screen Painter referring the document header.
That's all,.....so simple, and it works fine!
This note applies ONLY to version 4.6C, 4.7and ECC 5 (which is the version the customer I am with has installed).
Thanks anyway.

Simple Storage unit management by using of 'real' handling unit data

Hi all,
actually we have a WM setup to use the full handling unit management in Warehouse. After some years we detected that the HU managed
Warehouse is not the best solution for our business.
Inside of WM we do no more want to have the Handling units. The assigned storage location is not HU managed.
Now to my question:
We receive from other plants finished goods via inbound delivery. All goods are packed on Handling Units.
When doing the good receipt, Is it possible to use the HU data (vekp, vepo) and create according to it the WM storage units? So one Handling unit
from the inbound delivery will become one storage unit.
thanks in advance for your answers.
Michael

Hi Patrick,
we actually have SAP WM with HU management running. but we want to go back to WM without HU management - only with the storage unit management.
when getting an inbound delivery from another plant (in the same client) goods are batch managed and packed on HU´s. i am searching for a possibility to use the HU data from the inbound delivery to create the WM storage units. So one HU should become one WM storage unit.
so i will post to an ERP comuity.
thanks
Michael

Shipment cost information - handling units

Hello ,
( After reviewing notes 393849, 934370 , 746606 )
i have a problem with shipment cost information from sales
order ( VA02 ; VICI ) when the shipment cost is calculated according to handling units.
In our S.C.C regular scenario the shipment cost is calculated according to the packing materials in the shipment ( VT02 ) .
The pricing procedure includes the follwing condition records :
Condition y050 : Calc.type - S ( number of shipping units ) ;
                  Calc.base - C ( Handling units ) .
and a few conditions with the same definition as :
Condition y051 : Calc.type - S ( number of shipping units ) ;
                  Calc.base - '' ( ALL ) .
( in order to overcome regular S.C.C customization the above
p.procedure is determined in exit - shipment costing : configure
pricing - V54B001 - EXIT_SAPLV54B_001 ) .
After filling the necessary fields in VA01/VA02 such as Material , volume , weight , packing proposal and then executing the shipment cost information according to the planning profile we get error message
( VY-140 ) :
" shipment cost not saved because they contain no items " .
After debugging in   - EXIT_SAPLV54B_002 : none of the handling units in VA01/VA02 ( packing proposal ) is transferred to pricing structure "KOMP" and therefore the shipment cost calculation is
not completed ( to my best knowledge . . . ) .
when proccessing the transactions online VA02->VL02N the packing proposal is transferred as expected .
any ideas ?
Regards
ASA

Hi Sudeer,
Once again please check the configuration steps
-->Define Shipment cost information profile
-->Assign planning profile
-->Also check the variants which you are maintaining in the planning profine.
-->Check the input data in the variants which you have maintained.
Go through this link about Shipment Cost Information in the Order
