Every Shipping point has corresponding number range for the HU box number?

Question

Hi,
Every Shipping point has corresponding number range for the HU box number assignment?
For example, we are doing packing, then a Handling Unit number has been generated.  So where to define this number range of the HU number??
Is it from the SPRO or controled by programs.
Thanks.

Hi,
Please find good stuff on Handling Units Below:
HANDLING UNITS CONFIGURATION:
A Step by Step Guide to the SAP Handling Unit Management Configurations
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. 
This paper is for the HUM Delivery although some of the contents is related to Inventory under the Logistics General modules.

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.
