Handling unit materials stock overview
Hi experts
My Non-HU managed storage location - HU01 and HU-managed storage location is HU01.
I have packed one pump (available pumps: 10) with one carton (available cartons: 10).
After packing, I could see the stock overview (MMBE) of pump as follows:
HU01: 9 EA
HU02: 1EA
HOwever, my cartons stock overview is as follows:
HU01: 10EA
Since, the packed carton is along with HU, the stock overview of carton should be as like the motor. Please comment in this regard.
warm regards

Hello together,
I have two questions about that:
1. What IS the next step? How can you decrease the amount of packaging material after a outbound delivery 'officially'?
2. Is there a possibility to do this step automatically? When I have a standard sales order the system makes me a 'Packing proposal' and prepares the Handling Units. When I then do the 'Outbound Delivery' the quantity of the goods sold decreases in stock but not the quantity of the packaging material.
Thank you in advance,
André

How to change stock category of handling units at mass level without Development
Hi,
We have hundreds of handling units with stock category "blank" in our returned stock storage location which is HU managed. MMBE shows different
value in Return stock what we see in HUMO is only One HU with very less qty. visible with stock category "R".inventory stock is different than the
HU stock visible in HUMO
can some one help in explaining how can we change the stock category of HU's from Blank to R. is there any standard process offered by Sap.
Development of program to get it done is out of scope right now
Thanks,i am struggling to figure this out too.right now we if i look into MMBE i see the returned stock
value.but HUMO does not show any handling units with stock category R when searched
though Storage location is HU managed.i suspect user has done GR without delivery which cause the dependency.
Thanks for quick response. -

-what is it's use
-how material are kept in W/H

Handling Unit Management
Purpose
You can use Handling Unit Management (HUM) to reflect packing-based logistics structures in the SAP System. Using this method, you track the movements of entire handling units and the materials they contain rather than tracking each material individually.
When you base logistics processes on handling units, goods movements processing is made easier, which in turn optimizes all logistics operations. This simplified processing includes the existing packing function in shipping and warehouse processing in the Warehouse Management system, which is expanded here.
Features
In the system, the handling unit (HU) expands on the shipping unit. Handling units can be nested, which means that you can create new handling units from several handling units as often as you like. At the material item level, HUs contain the complete material identification, the quantity, and, in the case of serial numbers, the respective object list. Handling units have unique, scannable identification numbers that can be developed according to standards such as EAN 128 or SSCC.
Handling units contain all inventory management information of the materials they contain that are maintained in Inventory Management. There are also status messages that you can call up at any time that indicate whether a handling unit is only planned or if the ship-to party has been notified of the arrival of this handling unit, or whether it is in the warehouse or has already been posted to goods issue. The integrated history function also records each business process in the life cycle of each handling unit, meaning that you can track the handling unitu2019s path and development at any time.
In HU-managed storage locations, all goods movements are executed through the specification of the respective HUs, and Inventory Management is performed through the handling units. If you are not working with HU-managed storage locations, you can use handling units (without stock information) as before in the delivery and in the shipment.
In HU-managed storage locations, materials can be managed in HUs only. Mixed stock (stock made up of packed and non-packed materials within the same storage location) is not supported. HUs can also be managed in interim storage types. Unpacking a material from an HU means that the stock of the material is posted to a storage location that is not HU-managed.
If you call up normal material movements in connection with an HU-managed storage location, a delivery is created, rather than a direct material posting, which has been the procedure up to this point.
Handling units are unique at client level in at least one system. Using an indicator at client level (see Unique Identification of Handling Units), you can control whether you are going to work with the HU functions. Since the handling unit is a physical unit, the central logistics processes are controlled through the input of the handling unit identification. These processes include putaway, picking, and stock transfers, as well as goods receipts and goods issues.
A handling unitu2019s mobility can be limited if quality checks are active. Changes in the stock category caused by a quality inspection are made using a posting change in the handling unit.
There is also a report available that you can use to find and display handling units using different selection criteria such as material, packing instruction, or storage location.
Although the handling unit is basically a unit that remains constant in the system, you can change it by repacking the materials it contains. All the packing functions, such as packing, repacking, and unpacking, are completely supported by the handling unit function. In this way, handling units can be created in production, during goods receipt, or in the packing areas of the warehouse. If you have automatic packing, the handling unit is created from the packing proposals defined in the system (from the packing instructions, for example).

Batch:
In various industries particularly the process industry you have to work with homogenous partial quantities of a material or product throughout the logistics quantity and value chain.
There are various reasons for this:
Legal requirements (for example, the guidelines set out by GMP (Good Manufacturing Practice) or regulations on hazardous material
Defect tracing, callback activities, and regression requirement
The need for differentiated quantity-and value-based Inventory Management (for example, due to heterogeneous yield/result qualities or varying constituents in Production.
Differences in usage and the monitoring thereof in materials planning in SD and Production.
Production or procedural requirements (for example, settlement of material quantities on the basis of different batch specifications).

How to get hierarchy of a handling unit in delivery
Hi All,
We have a requirement of displaying in the form output highest level handling unit details(measurements length width and all).
After that we want to display lower level handling units materials that has been packed.In the transaction Vl03n I can find this by just double clicking the parent Handling unit.
To make simple how to get the hierarchy of handling units?
If I know handling unit(say HU1) how to find there are some handling units(may be HU2,HU3) included in this handling unit HU1.
I refered to the tables VEKP and VEPO it does not help me in this regard.Please suggest some body some idea on this.
Regards
MaheshHi,
Have you look into field VEKP-UEVEL (Higher-Level Handling Unit)
RF_SW_VEKP_READ Select from table VEKP - 1st layer
VEKP_READ Select from table VEKP - 2nd layer

Picking handling unit in Delivery
Hi,
I have a scenario in which I want to pick handling units from stock into the delivery. At the time of picking in delivery transfer order is created, but warehouse management is not in the scope. Can we pick handling unit in delivery without warehouse management.?
Regards
FalgunDear Falgun,
I think its not possible. if i understood your question correctly, that you have created an order and for that you are doing picking/packing, you should create handling unit first and then allocate it in the material master for that perticular material in material master MM01 ->basic data tab under packing material data.
hope its helpful for you.

Handling unit - Assigning new number range
Hi All,
We are using SAP 4.7 C
We have a requirement to assign a new number range to handling unit materials(VENUM).
earlier we were having 6 digit handling unit number. now we need to have 8 digit handling unit number.
I have used T-code VNKP and created a new range from '00000000000010000000' to '00000000000099999999'
but while adding the packaging material to handling unit, new handling unit number is being picked from the old range.
Please suggest.
Thanks in advance.Hi,

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>

Any other Transaction similar to HUMO for retriving handling units .
Hi SAP GURUS ,
Please accept my thanks for the help rendered so far .
I have a Quary ,Do we have a Transaction parallel to HUMO for retrieving Handling units from stocks .
similar to HUMO .
Thanks in Advance !!!
AdarshHi ,
Thanks for your reply , but the retrieval of HU's via HUMO is showing LIst of HU's which is otherwise not possible othrewise
The easy option if the report doesnt show up once you execute is ,go for Radioa button Quick search and you will get the report
After havign raised this issue with SAP ,they have suggested us to for varients including combination of plant /material/ and storage location
otherwise ,we can as well archive the very old /unused hU's so that the report retrival through HUMO will be fast
Incidentally there is no other way except HUMO
Thanks for the reply

I need to be able to see the stock for a some materials that are managed in Handling Units.
I need to consult the total stock for each one of these materials, but they have atleast 2 Packing Instructions, then because this, I need some functionallity to see the stock in each Packing Instructions.
Is there any way to get this ?
Please & thanks

I got a very useful you help, however, is this possible to use with the Availability Check since SD when this functional module creates a Sales Order, and then, they try to check de availability for the materials, is possible this is vinculated with the Packing Instructions?
