Maintain Packing Transaction Profile

Hello Experts,
Can any one please tell me what "Maintain Packing Transaction Profile" or "OVHU2" actually ties into. I like to know why we even maintain these profile, where are they used?
I have two Packaging instruction for one material. I like the the user to decide which one he wants to use while packing. I believe that is possible through Alternate packing instructions. I already maintained that and in OVHU2 maintained the indicator "packaging instrn selection dialog". Even though I did this I am not getting any result.
Any selection in this is not having any effect on my o/B delivery.
Thank You in Advance.

Packing transaction profile is used to automate packing in different documents such as indoubnd delivery,outbound,shipment,etc....
and it is directly linked to the packing instructions in the particular application.
You will need to uncheck the the display mode in your profile which will allow the user to manually select the alternative packing instructions.

Maintain Parameters for Packing Transaction Profile

Hi Experts,
I want to create a new determination procedure for packing instructions and want to use it in the Outbound Delivery process ...
In the customizing Transaction OVHU2, I can maintain the Packing Instrc. Profile (link between 0002 - Outbound Delivery and Determination Procedure).
But there is already a link on a procedure and we already use it. How can I add another one ?
Or I have to work with the one already created ?
Regards,
David

Hi David,
I think this is not so easy. In the customizing documentation you'll find this:
The profiles are set as standard in the system. You can change the descriptions and the settings for each profile. However, you cannot create new profiles, delete existing ones, or change the assignment of profile to application.
But there are three customer functions in the 'PACKMODI' enhancement. Perhaps it's a good idea to change your settings in this exit depent from a value which come frome your order. So you can use your existing settings.

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....

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?

"Current assignment" field missing in Handling Unit status tab

Our scenario is as below:
1. STO created and outbound deliveries generated
2. Deliveries are assigned to shipment
3. Packing is done using RF transaction
In the normal scenario, the HU status tab would show the outbound delivery number in the current assignment tab. But for some Handling Units, the current assignment field shows blank. Also, the contents tab shows only the delivery line item number and not the delivery number. We have also noticed that the problem delivery line items have been packed in 2 different Handling Units, each containing the full delivery line item quantity. (not sure how this is possible). One of the HU is displayed correctly but the other one has the missing delivery number issue.
Has anyone encountered such a scenario? How is the system allowing to pack the same delivery item quantity in 2 different Handling Units? Any suggestions in this regard would be very helpful.

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.

Steps For Goods Receipt For Work Order Using Handling Units

Hello MM gurus,
I'm new to HU Management. Can you please share with me the steps for executing a "Goods Receipt For Work Order" using Handling Units?
I created a HU (1000000026), and then using transaction COWBHUWE I tried using that HU to create a goods receipt, but I keep getting the message below:
Handling unit 1000000026 is not provided for goods receipt
Message no. VHURM046
Do you have to assign/plan HUs to Process Orders first? I think the problem is that I'm not understanding the process or the requirements for a goods receipt for work order using HU.

Hello Manish Kumar,
I've been doing Handling Units testing in our sandbox environment and I've been trying to Pack a Finished Product for a Process Order using
1-Transaction code HU02 to create the Handling Unit
2-Transaction COWBHUE after creating the HU to enter the production order number and the HU number and propose it, but the it doesn't work. When I propose it, nothing happens.
3.-I also tried COWBPACK, but for some reason, when I go into COWBPACK, key in the Process Order, and then press enter, I get the following message:
You do not have authorization to create handling units for plant BP08
Message no. VHUPD500
Do you know how to solve this issue?

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

Multi-level Packaging in Delivery
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 material master data of the packaging material which you create.
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. 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.
VA01 create the order, save it.
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.
HANDLING UNITS. (Used for Multi level packing)
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 Management - Basics.
First create all your packing materials using MM01 and type as packaging material. Maintain all the assignments in IMG in Logistics General.
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.
Then go to External Identification - and maintain the number ranges for the handling units that you want and assign the same to your packaging material type.
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 have 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.
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.
In the same way again in the top part of the screen you select your next level packaging material and press enter. the system will assign a number to it. now select the material you have just entered and the previously packed material in the lower part of the screen and click on the icon PACK.
In this way you can carry out multilevel packing. just take care of the allowed packing weight and the number of units you have to pack in the next packaging material.

Anbu

Archiving Non Assigned Handling Units

Hello Experts,
I have a large number of Non Assigned Handling Units (Object 12) in my Production system. I want to archive them. I understand that if I delete these HU's in HU02 then their status will be updated from 0020 to 0060 and they can be archived. But what is the implication of this? Can Non Assigned HU's be used at a later stage?
One more thing I wanted to clarify is that suppose I have a HU in my Delivery. It will have object as 01 in VEKP. Now can I delete this HU after PGI or Invoice is created and once it is deleted from delivery then will it be updated to 12 object is VEKP? Basically I want to understand how Non Assigned HU's are created. Is it by just deleting from Delivery or is there any other way also.
Appreciate your inputs.
Thanks,
Karan

Hi,
a non-assigned handling unit is a free HU that is not assigned to any document and you can assign it to documents (outbound deliveries f.e. to post it to customer).
You can only have/store free HUs in your system when handling unit management is activated in your system (TVSHP-EXIDV_UNIQUE is set).
You can create non-assigned handling units with transaction hu02 f.e.
You can check in table VEKP if the HU is a free HU or not (if VEKP-VPOBJ is 12, it is a free HU).

Ely

Handling Unit posting GR via IDOC

Hi,
I'm searching for an IDOC to post a goods receipt for a production order with Handling Units, like transaction COWBHUWE.
It seem that the MBGMCR will not work with Handling Unit data.
Best regards to all

Hi,
thank you for your help, but it is not and decentralized scenario, no "In- or Outbound Delivery Confirm Decentral" or "...Save Replicas...". It is a goods receipt for an integrated storage location.
Best regards
