Helo Azeez,
Go through the following & check as per the settings:
Packing Process:
Before creating the packaging material you have to go to:
IMG-Logistics Execution-Shipping -Packing.
1. Define packaging material types- it can be anything like boxes crates, etc. in this you have to maintain the output determination procedure, output type, plant determination, packaging material category, generate delivery items, number assignment. you can copy from standard also.
2. Then go to define material group for packaging materials - Here you maintain the four digit code and the description. Actually, this group is nothing but similar products which require similar packing products. For Ex. Nokia Phones all types they are basically packed first into a polythene bag. So here nokia phones can become a material group for packaging materials and polythene bag can become the packaging material type which can include different sizes and types of polythene bags.
3. Define Allowed Packaging Materials - Here you assign the shipping group for packaging materials to the packaging material type. This is related to your mterial master data of the packaging material which you create.
4. Now go to MM01 to create a packaging material. use material type as Packaging material then inside the system will take the item category group as VERP. Then in the Basic Data1 screen you have the material group for packaging material (MGPM). Select the proper one. Now in the Sales:General/ Plant screen you have to maintain data regarding the packaging. The MGPM will be same as in the basic data 1 screen, then select the packaging material type, the allowed pkg weight, allowed pkg volume. This is important because if the weight of your finished item is 2 KG and in the allowed pkg weight you enter only 1.5 KG, then while you carry out the packing process in delivery, the system will give you error, "packaging weight exceeded." The assignment in the IMG creen for Define allowed packaging materials should be same as u mention in the material master. Then save your material master for packaging material.
5. VA01 create the order, save it.
6. VL01N enter shipping point, go to edit - pack- you will face a screen with 2 parts. In the top part you select your packaging material in which you want to pack your finished item, enter the system will assign a number to that material. Now select the Material in the top part and the finished one in the lower part and click on the Icon Pack. Here one thing has to be taken care of. Suppose if you want to pack only one finished item in one packaging material, then in the lower part of the screen you have a field for partial quantity here you change it to 1. system will prompt quantity changed. now you select the material in the top part and the one in the lower part and click on the PER PART. QTY ICON. In this way the system will pack only one finished item in a single packaging material. Packing is done go back, select the picking and do the PGI. save the delivery and create the invoice.
This is basically the packing process.
As far as your problem is concerned, it is related with "automatic packing".
Packing proposal comes into picture only in case of automatic packing.
IMG - logistics general - handling unit management - automatic packing.
Check the following:
1. Maintain parameters for packing instructions - T.code is OVHU2
2. Maintain number ranges for packing instructions - T.code is OPIN
3. IMG - logistics general - handling unit management - automatic packing - packing instructions master data - define check profile for packing status.
4. IMG - logistics general - handling unit management - automatic packing - packing instructions master data - define key for packing instructions determination.
Create characteristic combination for search key - OFP5
Change characteristic combination for search key - OFP6
Display characteristic combination for search key - OFP7
Permitted characteristics - OFP8
5. Define Access Sequence for Packing Instruction Determination - OFP2
6. Define Determination Type for Packing Instructions - OFP3
7. Define Procedure for Packing Instructions Determination - OFP4
8. Define Number Ranges for Packing Instruction Determination Records - OVHU3
9. Create packing instructions - POP1
10. Create determination records for packing instructions - POF1
Reward points if solution helps.
