Creating Handling Unit

Question

Hi All,
Can anyone guide me which BAPI/FM to use to create Handling unit?
And, How to update the delivery with the HU information?
Was able to get the Handling Unit number through FM V51P_FIND_HEADER given the packaging Material number.
Regards,
Raj

<b>Hi Rajasekhar,</b>
I have mailed you the document on Handling Units.
To create a Handling Unit you need to use the following BAPI Functional Module
<b>BAPI_HU_CREATE</b>
check the following Documentation:
<b>FU BAPI_HU_CREATE</b>
Text
<b>Create Handling Unit with Items</b>
<b>Functionality</b>
You can use this method to create non-assigned handling units without stock information. These handling units may also be created with items, if you like. Serial numbers can also be included for each handling-unit item at this point.
You can also create nested handling units by accessing this method more than once.
Example
<b>Example 1:</b>
Creating a non-assigned handling unit with packaging material PALLET with a "Planned HU" physical status:
HEADERPROPOSAL:        pack_mat  =  'PALETTE'
        hu_status_init =  'A'.
<b>Example 2:</b>
Following access of the above method (example 1), the return parameter HUKEY returns the ID of the handling unit that was created in the KEY = ID1 field. To pack the handling unit that was just created in another handling unit, call up the BAPI_HU_CREATE method again with the following import parameters:
IHEADERPROPOSAL:        pack_mat = 'CONTAINER'
ITEMPROPOS AL:              hu_item_type = '3'
lower_level_key = ID1
You have now created a nested handling unit (a pallet inside a container).
<b>I suppose this will solve your problem.Also go through the document.</b>
Thanks & Regards
