Handling unit/ Packaging material

Hello,
I have a question in handling/packing materials.
I have configured packaging materials and groups right, and assigned it properly to my warehouse.
But when I provide the information regarding packaging material in HU02, it says
"XXX (Packaging material) does not have packaging material type and is therefore not a pack.mat."
Can anyone suggest what to do now ?
Thanks & Regards,
Srini

Hello Srinivas,
Hello Mr. Adrift,
Firstly, I like my original name ;-).
Thanks for udpates.
Can you brief me various interactions of RF in warehouse management
Benefits of the Integrated RF Solution
By integrating RF devices into the SAP System, users can realize significant cost savings and productivity gains in many areas of information processing. The following are just a few of the benefits that RF computing with the SAP System has to offer:
Extended Usability
With the integrated RF connection, previously unreachable users can now take advantage of the Logistics Execution functions. This new access expands the availability of SAP applications throughout the warehouses, distribution centers, and shipping and receiving docks.
Increased Accuracy
Each data entry error is recognized immediately by the SAP System. RF computing devices thus enhance the quality of data in the system.
Data Availability
Timely entry of information into the SAP System and direct access to accurate business data lead to more efficient operational decisions. This increases the information value and speeds up the decision-making process through the continuous link between front-line and back-office applications.
Reduced Training Requirement
RF-enabling applications minimize the need for training. RF devices are front-end devices, that is, automated data-entry devices linked to the SAP System. Consequently, the user can become productive in a short period of time and with minimal training. This is especially important for warehouses that frequently use temporary staff during peak periods.

Outbound Delivery Handling Unit HU material box pallet

Business requirement.
To create a delivery based on a sales order using a function module. To do this, users have an AbapWebdynpro application to collect data,
Handling units for boxes and handling units for pallets are creates as the user packs his materials in the application.
Items are packed in boxes and boxes on pallets.
Problem description: cannot pack boxes onto pallets.
I can pack items in boxes no problems. Delivery gets created ok.
How i do it:
Step 1:
At the end of AbapWebdynpro process and validations, if no errors occurs, a function module is called to format the data and call fm to create a delivery.
This part works as expected and is all ok.
Step 2:
Then in the function module that will create de delivery, header proposal is filled for boxes and pallets. itemproposal is filled for items in boxes and pallets
Step 3:
then,
FUNCTION 'BAPI_HU_CREATE' is used to create handling units for items
This part works perfectly for boxes and items but not for pallets.
then, delivery create
CALL FUNCTION 'SD_DELIVERY_UPDATE_PACKING_1'
EXPORTING
delivery = ls_createditems-document_numb
commit = 'X'
synchron = 'X'
TABLES
verko_tab = i_verko
verpo_tab = i_verpo
prot = i_prot
it_handling_units_1 = i_handling_unit
EXCEPTIONS
update_not_possible = 1
OTHERS = 2.
This part works fine also if not pallets HU are present in the data .
The problem is when i want to create a pallet and add the boxes to it. I have tried about every thing i read but had not much success.
The only thing that came close to doing the job is the following code.
First i create the delivery with boxes and materials only and with the following FM, i create the pallet and attach it to the delivery line but then i can not assign the boxes to it.
ls_handling_units-top_hu_external = ls_packed_pallets-hu_pallet.
ls_handling_units-top_hu_internal = ls_hupallet.
ls_handling_units-venum = ls_huboxes.
ls_handling_units-vepos = ls_packed_boxes-posnr.
ls_handling_units-rfbel = lv_vbeln.
ls_handling_units-rfpos = ls_packed_boxes-posnr.
APPEND ls_handling_units TO lt_rehang.
Step 4:
CALL FUNCTION 'SD_DELIVERY_UPDATE_PACKING_1'
EXPORTING
delivery = ls_createditems-document_numb
commit = 'X'
synchron = 'X'
TABLES
verko_tab = i_verko
verpo_tab = i_verpo
prot = i_prot
it_handling_units_1 = i_handling_unit
EXCEPTIONS
update_not_possible = 1
OTHERS = 2.
Is anyone succeed to create a program to create outbound delivery where materials are pack into boxes and those boxes are packed on pallets.
Regards
dstj

If the delivery document PGIed then you need to do VL09 transaction to reverse the PGI document.
Then do in VL02N transaction select Delete handling unit assignment icon it will remove all the handling units from delivery.
Later goto EDIT option then selct copy pack qty as dlv qty then save.Later system will allow you to delete the document.

Confirm Transfer Order - Assign Handling unit

Hi All,
When I try to confirm a Transfer Order system by default assigns a Pallet (packaging material - pallet) handling unit.
Is there a way I can assign a Master Carton handling unit (packaging material - MC)?
Am I missing any customizing entries?
Please help.
Thanks,
Meghna

Hi,
the customizing for the creation of the Pick-HU:
IMG: Logistics Execution -> Warehouse Management -> Interfaces -> Shipping -> Define Shipping Control.
Define Control for Automatic Creation of Pick HUs. Check the entries for you whse/source/destination/movmnt type.
I suppose at least that is what you mean with "by default assigns a Pallet (packaging material - pallet) handling unit". Or anything else?
Best regards
Juergen

Handling unit creation in the out bound Process

Hi All,
If we are not activate Storage Unit management/HU management in the warehouse and still create HUu2019s during outbound process via packing transfer order? We donu2019t want to manage stock at SU/HU level but create handling unit for material during outbound process. Is it possible?
Please give me the suggestions.
Thanks
Prasad

Hi Prasad,
Yes it is possible. You will have to use handling units only as shipping units in the outbound delivery packing function. The handling unit can be defined during the transfer order confirmation (you have this in LT12 as packing) or in the delivery after the TO confirmation. You can only perform packing before goods issue.
I hope i'll helps you lot

How to get Storage unit and Warehouse number from Handling Unit.

I have Handling unit and Material in my program as an input, using these two fields i have to get corresponding storage unit and ware house number, to pick up transfer order.
Can anybody explain me who can we get Storage Unit and Warehouse Number from Handling Unit.
I know we can pull transfer order from table LTAK & LTAP using warehouse number.
But i dont understand how to get warehouse number from handling unit.
There is table LSUTO which has warehouse and Handling unit relation, but in our system there is not data maintained in that table. So, i was just wondering how can i get warehouse number from the given handling unit number.

Handling units outbound process

Hi People,
Can we not activate Storage Unit management/HU management in the warehouse and still create HUs during outbound process via packing transfer order? We dont want to manage stock at SU/HU level but create handling unit for material during outbound process. Possible?
Any suggestions will be appreciated.
Thanks
Puneet

Goto delivery document flow -> then goto the HU -> check HU history.
Has the HU been changed / assigned to other document after the GI?
If HU has been changed / moved after goods issue, it's no longer allowed to reverse the GI in VL09. This is standard behavior.
The only option is to post another movement in the opposite direction.
E.g. create a return processs.

What is the difference between handling unit and packaging material

hi
what is the difference between handling unit and packaging material

Hi,
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.
Packaging materials are intended to enclose or hold together the materials that are to be packed. In other words, the material that is to be packed can be packed into or onto the packaging material. The packaging material can be a load carrier. The most important packaging materials include crates, boxes, containers, wire baskets, and pallets.

I want to transfer the material from one site to another site through STO.
I create an STO(ME21N) -> Delivery (VL10D) -> Handling Unit(HU02) -> Outbound Delivery of HU(VLMOVE) -> PGI(VL02N) -> Inbound Delivery at recieving Site(VLMOVE) -> PGR(VL32N)
I am having a problem. While doing the Inbound delivery through VLMOVE i enter the receiving site and sloc. But in PGR (VL32N), again i need to enter site and sloc for packing material. But for material the site and sloc in automatically detected.
Plz give me any idea, how packing material behaves in this process. How packing material can detect the site and sloc automatically from inbound delivery.
Delivery Type for outbound delivery - HOD
Delivery Type for inbound delivery - HID
Item Category for outbound delivery for material - HODN
Item Category for outbound delivery for packing material - ZLNO(copy of HODN)
Item Category for inbound delivery for material - HIDN
Item Category for inbound delivery for packing material - ZLNI(copy of HIDN)
Plz send any documentation if somebody can for WM process at (nanda.kpl at the rate gmail) - material transfer from one site to another site through STO and HU management?

Packaging Material and Handling Unit Issue

Dear All,
Context: VL02N Outbound delivery (& packing)
I have 2 packaging material 1.box 2.carton
Finish product a,b,c,d etc
I want to put multiple finish product in a box then I want to put 3box in a carton.
I have VERP Packaging maerial
0001 Packaging material group (linked to finish product and packing product in General/Salesview)
0001 & 0002 packaing material type -box and carton (linked to two packaing material box and carton respectively in General/Salesview)
in HU02 T.Code I have attached finish products into a box and a HU got generated. ( Is there any movement happens???what happens when a HU get generated?)
Next I want to put 3box in a carton . How is it possible?
Thanks in advance
Shuva

In HU02 (or HUMO) give all three HU numbers (for the boxes) in tab 'Pack HUs' and press enter. Bottom half of the screen shows all HUs that may be packed. Select all and press 'New HU per x HUs'. You will be prompted to enter the packaging material for new HUs while displaying packaging material for the existing HUs. Select as appropriate, enter number of existing HUs to be packed onto this new HU (3 in your case) and enter.
Hope this helps.

How to inventory packing material on Handling Units frm Inbound Del @ PO?

I am receiving raw material against a PO via VL31N, where I pack into handling units. When I post GR for this inbound delivery, the Raw Material is getting a 101 but the packaging material is not being considered. Is there a way I can get the packaging material into inventory? I did verify the following settings as suggested in a different post here and yet the Packing materials are not considered. Any help is appreciated.
1. there is a plant in your HU (you can control this in your packing material type in transaction VHAR; set plant determination either to A or B).
2. there is an item category in your HU (you can control this in transaction 0184; create the following entry: EL / VERP / PACK / / ELP. If you now create an inbound delivery type EL and your packing material has item category group VERP the system will assign item category ELP to your HU.
If both requirements are met the system will generate an item in your inbound delivery after packing.
Then make sure that the item category of the HU (ELP for example) has movement type 501 assigned to it in transaction 0VLP.
If you then post the GR for your inbound delivery, the packing material will be posted on stock.

Hello,
It is well described in:
[Note 831204 - Delivery items for packaging materials|https://service.sap.com/sap/support/notes/831204]
pay atention on this prerequisit
For the relevant delivery types the 'ItemRequirement' routines
have to allow items which does not refer to a sales order.

Hi,
Sometime back Allabaqsh Patil has forwarded me this material for my question on packaging. I did it and it worked well.
You can follow the same procedure and do it. It will work for you. The details are given below.
hi,
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). Slect the proper one. Now in the Sales:General/ Plant screen you have to maintain data regarding the packaging. you select the MGPM same as the basic data 1 screen, then select the packaging material type, the allowed pkh 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 chnge 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.
HANDLING UNITS.
Basically handling units come into picture when you want to carry out multi level packing. suppose you want to pack Nokia phone first into a polythene bag, then this polythene bag is again packed in to box. like that. then this box will become a handling unit. For this go to :
IMG - Logistics General - Handling Unit Mangement - Basics.
1. In basics you do the same thing as you did in the packing in logistics execution. like you create the packaging material type, then MGPm and their assignment.
2. Then go to External Identification - and maintain the number ranges forthe handling units that you want and assign the same to your pckaging material type.
3. Now that you have done everything, create the order, save it, in VL01N, enter shipping point, go to edit - pack - do the same thing as i ahve told you in the step no. 6 (above). now after doing select the PACK HUs TAB . NOW IN THIS SCREEN IN THE TOP PART YOU WILL SEE THE ALREADY PACKED MATERIAL. In that same part again select your next packaging material that is BOX. enter the system will assign the number to the BOX.
4. Now select the material which you have just entered and the materials which were already packed in the lower part of the screen and click on the ICON PACK.
This is what I know about the packing process and the handling unit. you have many things in the handling unit management whichcan be very useful for automatic packing.
HOPE I AHVE ANSWERED YOUR QUERY.
PLEASE REWARD VALUABLE POINTS IF SOLUTION FOUND USEFUL.

Error in Packaging: Required handling Unit Could not be found.

Hi Experts,
I am facing one typical problem of " Required handling unit could not be found." Though the users had done the packing all the packaging related screen appears blank. And this problem is arising after some interval i.e. say for 6-7 outbound deliveries packaging related data can be viewed but suddenly for one delivery the data could not be viewed. Due to this handling unit data is missing on the packing slip and invoice. When i investigated the issue i found that no internal no are assigned to the handling units. Is it the system generated error or the transaction error i.e. packing-unpacking the material and then deleting the handling units without removing the material from handling units? Pl guide on the same.
Thanks in advance.

Ensure that
a) Number Range for Handling Units is maintained in VNKP
b) the required Packing Instruction and determination are maintained in POP1 & POF2
c) the value is maintained in material master sales:General/Plant data view against the field Packaging mat.type
thanks
G. Lakshmipathi

Handling units are sorted out on u201Cpackaging material u201C

Hi All
I have a problem in VL02n (packing)
We used to load rakes (goods trains) in Plant daily
we have three platforms, When we are entering wagon number in Handling units field in tcode VL02N in the order where we keep the wagons in the platforms, but the wagons are sorted out on u201Cpackaging material u201C,as a result sequence of wagons are changed.
This creates problem in
(1) Getting productwise wagon details from Bagging Plant,
(2)Weighment of NBOX by Gypsum Cell and
(3) Uploading of wagon details in FOIS by Rly for preparation of RRs.
Pls suggest a solution which will not sort the wagons basing on u201Cpackaging material u201C

Hi Devinc
You have found out the problem, the validation check is failing
saying Handling unit: unit of measure 'VolumeMeasure' in handling unit 32BM-00008 is invalid
Now please go back to this handling unit and check the UOM for volume
Is it properly defined same as internal unit stored in database(unit_int)??
for the packing material in product master of SNC
