Handling Unit packing into shipment

Hi experts,
At our client, we are developing a new packing function similar to HUPAST, but which is capable of packing at the shipment level.
Our requirement is that, packing will be done directly at the shipment level. Products are NOT packed into deliveries first. For this, we made packing not mandatory in the configuration which allows us to pack directly at the shipment without packing at the delivery. We tried using VT02N and pack the materials of different deliveries into different HUs. But this VT02N screen is not user-friendly (scanner friendly) and we want to develop something similar to HUPAST, but at the shipment level.
Is there a FM which will create HU and associate it with the shipment? BAPI_HU_CREATE will create HU, but can we link that to shipment using BAPI_HU_CHANGE_HEADER or is there any FM for this
Please help me
Thanks
Challa

Hi,
I hope you can use below FM's for packing.
BAPI_HU_CREATE
HU_PACKING_AND_UNPACKING
HU_GET_HUS
HU_POST
WS_DELIVERY_UPDATE
Hope this helps you....
Rgds,
Kris.

Handling Units Deletion from Shipment

Hi,
I got a problem in deletion of handling units using the FMs V51P_FILL_GT and then HU_PACKING_AND_UNPACKING. The FM HU_PACKING_AND_UNPACKING has got a structure gt_xvekp which gets populated dynamically when a HU is deleted from a shipment, but this is not happening when i call the FM separately in a program. Can any one help me or provide me a sample code in resolving this. Correct answers would be rewarded.
Thanks
Abhishek

Hi,
LT06 is to create TO with reference to material document.
I'm not sure what you want exactly. You marked creation of TR in customizing - in this case you have to create TO from LB10 from the automatically generated TR or you can create TO automatically with suitable reports (you have to run programs in background).

If you want to have immediate TO (you want to create the TO at immediately after GR si posted), you have to set it in customizing in WM-IM interface. Please read OSS note 566090 for details.
Please also search on the net / forum.

Handling unit weight into outbound delivery weight?

Hi,
I would like to transfer the total of my Handling unit weight to my outbound delivery weight. This is at this moment copied from the Sales order. How can I change that SAP will use the weights of the HU? Anybody?
Thank you,
Eric van Zundert.
Edited by: eric van zundert on Feb 25, 2008 2:49 PM

Dear Eric,
if you also want to add the weight of the packaging materials to the weight of the delivery, you will have to create a delivery item for the packaging materials. Please check note 831204 for the necessary settings.
I hope I could help you with this.

Batch number is blank and not editable during packing into Handling Unit

Hi, we have an issue that the batch number (VEPO-CHARG) for delivery line item is not showing up and not editable during packing into Handling Unit through shipment transaction VT01N.
When we have a batch split for one delivery line item, we want to be able to choose which batch to be packed into each handling unit.
Does anybody know any userexit to populate that field or at least make it editable? Is there something in the configuration that make it not show up?
We tried all the SAP suggested userexit for VT01N but nothing seem to control the handling unit packing screen.
Any hint is appreciated and point will be rewarded.
Minami

you should take the ovn on the effective date. A max will not always work.
Is the max also not hiding a no data found?

How to Issue Output for a Single Handling Unit from Shipment

Once i come back --> i did not find any option / icon to issue the output from VT03N for handling unit. We have an option to issue output for the Entire Shipment.
Tried alternative by going to VT70, give the shipment no, and output type for handling unit. When executed, Getting a message "No Messages Found".

Handling unit - Shipment

Hi all,
I would like to get the number of handling units in a shipment. I dont find VTTK or VEKP fulfils this requirement.
Can you please suggest any idea ?
Rgds,
Seema

Hi Seema,
You can get the handling unit number from VBFA table.
Hit the VBFA table by giving VBELV as delivery number and VBTYP_N as 'X' ( which is nothing but handling unit).
In field VBELN you will get the handling unit.
You can use this handling unit number an hit VEKP Table to get more details on handling unit.

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.

Handling Unit assignation to sales order

Hi you all,
I am facing with a problem when trying to create a handling unit assigned to a sales order. I want to have the functionality of transaction HUP32. The problem with this transaction is that it is possible to include only one batch in the handling unit. I want to do this process but creating handling units with more than one batch.
The other option I've tried is to create the handling unit with transaction HU02. This handling unit is created with the batches and material that I want but then I can't assign the handling unit to the sales order item.
When I create the deliveries of this sales orders with handling units assigned, the handling unit is automatically assigned to the delivery. That's the functionality I want to keep.
If anybody could help me I would thank it very much

Handling unit delivery reversal with VL09 in ECC 6.0

Dear All,
We have created few deliveries which has handling unit & packing. However now these deliveries are to be reversed or cancel due to the adress change.
These deliveries are created when we had 4.7 version but this month we upgraded the system to ECC 6.0. Now when I am trying to cancel delivery with VL09 transaction code system is popping the error up as "HU items' material posting is inconsistent".
I came to know that there is some change in standard process of handling deliveries in SAP 4.7 & ECC 6.0. I just would like to have details of it.
Regards,

Hi,
What kind of deliveries are you handling? Deliveries for sales order or for Stock transport orders?
Note 992460 - VL09 fails with error message HUGENERAL 327 describes the symptoms but seems to be valid only for IS Retail systems.
What's the status of HU saying? Check HU numbers in outboud delivery for that.

Any ideas are most welcome.

Hi,
you need to make sure the customizing of handling units match the values you give in your IDoc.
Identifiers for handling units are determined during creation according to settings in Customizing for number assignment of the packaging material type for the packaging material that is being used. You can also assign default values for identifiers when you create handling units, although these values must correspond to the settings in Customizing.
