Destructive Testing Handling Units

In our plant, handling units are created for a material at the time of the inbound delivery. If I receive 100 PCs of a material, let us say one handling unit is created in the system.
In the inspection plan for this material, I have maintained one of the MIC with destructive sample indicator. When the usage decision is being performed I want to post the sample size corresponding to the destructive characteristic as scrap. For example if i received 100 PCs into quality stock, i want to post only 95 PCs into unrestricted use stock as 5 PCs was used in the destructive testing. However in the stock posting screen I only have one line corresponding to the handling unit containing 100 PCs. How do i post 95 PCs of this handling unit into unrestricted use stock and 5 PCs as scrap.
Thanks in advance.

Hi ,
Even thoug you wish to take only 95 in to unrestricted stock , to keep the MM transaction with the vendor to be simple, you have to accept the etire lot of 100 in to stock ( assuming that the cost of samples used for testing is to be bourne by your company).
Then , since you have issued 5 to distructive testing ,which are consumed in the testing process , it shall be booked as consumption for quality inspection.
This is standard SAP recommendation. Check for the appropriate movement type.

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.

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

VEPO-POSNR

Destructive Samples with Handling Units

Dear Experts,
I just wanted to check if there's anyone who has encountered destructive inspection for samples with Handling Units and how this was managed (via enhancements/operational workaround).
Based on SAP KBA 1771624, destructive sampling will not work for HU due to all or nothing approach. We are currently considering the following options but would like to get your insights on this in case there is a better approach for this problem.
1. During Goods Receipt, sample usage quantity will be packed in separate HU from the rest of the quantity. This option will work provided that sample usage quantity is known before quality inspection. e.g. I will recieve 100 pcs of MAT A, 15 pcs for sample usage will be packed under HU1 and the remaining 85 pcs under HU2. UD stock posting will be performed in 2 steps, 1st for GI to sample usage for HU2 and 2nd for transfer to unrestricted/blocked/etc. for HU2
2. Receive full quantity under 1 HU. Complete quality inspection (results recording, ud and stock posting). Unpack the material to be able to perform GI to sample for the quantity that was used for destructive inspection.

Hi Craig/Vignesh,
Thank you for your providing your inputs on this. I will take them into consideration.
I have another option to address this requirement, that is to (1) receive the material into non HU storage location (2) perform UD and stock posting, i.e. GI to sample usage and unrestricted-use/blocked stocks (3) transfer unrestricted-use/blocked stocks to HU managed location.
Do you think this will be more efficient operationally versus the other 2 options above?
I am trying to find the most effective way to address this requirement with minimum impact to Logistics operation. Most of our materials are managed in HU and destructive sampling is regularly done so users will be performing the steps in SAP a lot.

MTS with batch management, serialization and Handling unit

Hello All,
I am testing a scenario for MTS with batch management, serialization and Handling unit for discrete manufacturing.
Everything worked fine till I created the Handling unit for the finished product.
The production order has a quantity of 3 EA.
It has three serial numbers 1, 2 and 3. (serial numbers can be displayed from order->Header->serial numbers)
I created one Handling unit for production order quantity of 3 EA.
I tried to do a goods receipt for the production order using transaction COWBHUWE.
I get the following error when I try to post the GR:
Only 0 serial numbers entered instead of 3
Message no. IO304
Diagnosis
There is a serial number obligation, so the number of serial numbers must equal the number of serial numbers in the material document.
You can post the operation only if you entered the correct number of serial numbers previously.
System Response
Depending on the context in which the error arises, the system continues processing, or the required function cannot be performed.
Procedure
You have the following options, for example:
Check that the serial numbers are entered fully.
If necessary, display an error log.
If necessary, contact your system administrator.
What did I miss?
How to fix this problem?
Please help.
Thanks in advance
George

I added the serialization procedure HUSL to the serial number profile and it fixed the problem.

Handling unit output determination questions

I have configured a new output type for a custom label we need to implement for handling units.   It is assigned as V6, for Ship-to Party/Shipping Material.
In VL01N or VL02N, I am able to create the handling units and pack the delivery line item materials into them.
I am able to manually assign the output type to the handling unit in VL01N/VL02N, but have not been successful in getting the output type to auto populate. I have verified that it is not populated after packing the HU and saving from VL01N, or when doing from VL02N, or after PGI.
I have been searching the forums and have not found the answers I need.
1. Is it possible for the output type to automatically populate for a handling unit? If so, at what point should this happen? I would think based on how our custom label output types for delivery documents behave, it would assign after save from either VL01N or VL02N.
2. When I create the HU, I specify a VERP packaging material number that represents the carton in order to create the HU. I do not have the material on the sales order or delivery as a line-item, and I am not getting any error messages indicating that it should be.
If this should work the way we expect it to, any suggestions on what I have overlooked that would prevent my output type from automatically assigning?
Thanks in advance for your help.
Dave

Hi Joan,
Thank you for your answers. They were most helpful. I was finally able to get the new Output Type to assign after I created the HU's and saved the delivery.
Hopefully you won't mind if I ask some related questions.
1. If I went to VL02N for a delivery where I had already created the handling unit, it did not automatically get the Output Type assigned when I saved. (Like it does for our delivery based labels when I add a user in NACE that previously wasn't identified to get the label.)   Is this the normal behavior for HU-based output or am I still missing something in my setup?
2. I did the VHAR step and specified both the Output Determination Procedure and the Output Type of my new label,as suggested.   This did work once I finally tested by creating a new HU for a delivery, rather than checking an existing delivery/HU. Is entering the Output Type here critical? If another customer has a different label format, I think assigning the Output Type here this will cause a problem for us. (I haven't had a chance to change the config to remove this and see if the Output assigns based on references elsewhere, now that I know it seems to assign only when the HU is initially created.)
Thanks again!
Dave

Handling Unit: unable to pack the delivery

Dear Experts,
In a HU managed storage location, there is sales order stock for material A.
I want to post the sales order stock from sales order 1 item 10 to sales order 2 item 10, using movement type 413 E.
Then I got an outbound delivery (delivery type HTP, item category HSTP). I think I am supposed to pack this material before I could PGI.
But in the delivery (edit->pack) packing screen, I found I could NOT select/highlight the material A under field 'Material to be pack' at 'Pack material' tab. So I could not pack this material into the handling unit to finish to packing step.
Please kindly help ! Thank you !
Jack

Hi,
Please try using LQ02 for your posting, if its not posting directly then you can opt to move from Sales order stock to normal stock and then again moving it to the other sales order stock. I know for sure that using LQ02 you can post from sales order to normal stock but since I don't have my current system setup to test this so I cant confirm if It can be used to do transfer directly as well.

Handling Unit Initial Inventory load help

Hi Experts,
I need to upload Handling Unit Inventory using RHUWM_INITIAL_LOAD. Could some one who had done this before can help me providing more information on this? How can I load a data file from my laptop? What should be the data file format?
Any help on this would be greatly appreciated.
Thank you
with regards,
Muthu Ganapathy

Hi Jurgen,
Thank you for your time and for reply. I'm not a developer. If you could give me more instruction how can I specify my local file to test the RHUWM_INITIAL_LOAD will be helpful? Appreciate any input.
Thank you.

Use handling units for subcontracting

Hello Experts,
we are currently trying to improve our subcontracting process. The stock of material is provided to the vendor in boxes, he processes the articles and delivers them back to us in the same boxes.
To be able to identify the boxes when they come back, we want to use handling units.
When i tried to test this, i faced a problem in transaction VLMOVE. There is no handling unit process similar to movement type 541.
Is this a customizing issue or is it not allowed to use handling units for subcontracting?
Hope you can provide some information on this.
Kind regards
Mathias Baumhoff

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?

Handling Unit - IDOC

Hello Experts,
We receive ASN from Vendor via EDI and while processing IDOC, received an error "Assignment material group PM CASE to pack.mat.type EXTL not made in Customiz" This is in test system.
We processed same idoc in Production, processed successfully. Both the systems are in sync as far as configuration.
i.e : Define Allowed Packaging Materials, both systems having same entries.
Can any body let me know, what could be the issue.
Thanks,
Raj

In the test system, go to SPRO -> Logistics - General -> Handling Unit Management -> Basics -> Define Allowed Packaging Materials. Check the configuration here and confirm if the packaging material type is assigned to the material groups for packaging materials. This error could have only occured due to missing setting here.
Thanks

Steps For Goods Receipt For Work Order Using Handling Units

Hello MM gurus,
I'm new to HU Management. Can you please share with me the steps for executing a "Goods Receipt For Work Order" using Handling Units?
I created a HU (1000000026), and then using transaction COWBHUWE I tried using that HU to create a goods receipt, but I keep getting the message below:
Handling unit 1000000026 is not provided for goods receipt
Message no. VHURM046
Do you have to assign/plan HUs to Process Orders first? I think the problem is that I'm not understanding the process or the requirements for a goods receipt for work order using HU.

Hello Manish Kumar,
I've been doing Handling Units testing in our sandbox environment and I've been trying to Pack a Finished Product for a Process Order using
1-Transaction code HU02 to create the Handling Unit
2-Transaction COWBHUE after creating the HU to enter the production order number and the HU number and propose it, but the it doesn't work. When I propose it, nothing happens.
3.-I also tried COWBPACK, but for some reason, when I go into COWBPACK, key in the Process Order, and then press enter, I get the following message:
You do not have authorization to create handling units for plant BP08
Message no. VHUPD500
Do you know how to solve this issue?

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...

Function Module for UNPACKING Handling Unit from Inbound Delivery

Hello Experts,
I am working on a RFID program to Receive goods from vendor...
One of the steps of the program should CHANGE the quantity inside a received batch.
To do so, I need to UNPACK the Handling Unit first... then change the quantity.
I am using the following Function Modules to do so:
- 'HU_GET_HUS'
- 'V51P_FILL_GT'
- 'HU_PACKING_AND_UNPACKING'
- 'HU_POST'
First 2 FM works fine...
But when I get to the 3rd one, I keep getting "NOT_POSSIBLE" error...
Have anyone done this before??
Here's the code I've done to do some testing before putting it into my code...

Hi,
I am creating a HU with following params, they work fine for me,
maybe you could try them out.
l_header-pack_mat = '<INT'.
l_header-hu_exid = '$1'.
l_header-hu_exid_type = 'C'.
l_header-plant = your plant.
l_header-stge_loc = your storage location.
Regards,
Dirk.
