Where should handling unit output determination procedure be assigned ?

Hi
In logistic execution, where should handling unit out put determination procedure be assigned pls ?
Thanks In Advance

A custom output type must be created with the form you would like to print and condition records for HU's must be maintained in VV61.
You can also use NACE to define the procedures and access sequence.
Hope that helps
thanks

MTS with batch management, serialization and Handling unit

Hello All,
I am testing a scenario for MTS with batch management, serialization and Handling unit for discrete manufacturing.
Everything worked fine till I created the Handling unit for the finished product.
The production order has a quantity of 3 EA.
It has three serial numbers 1, 2 and 3. (serial numbers can be displayed from order->Header->serial numbers)
I created one Handling unit for production order quantity of 3 EA.
I tried to do a goods receipt for the production order using transaction COWBHUWE.
I get the following error when I try to post the GR:
Only 0 serial numbers entered instead of 3
Message no. IO304
Diagnosis
There is a serial number obligation, so the number of serial numbers must equal the number of serial numbers in the material document.
You can post the operation only if you entered the correct number of serial numbers previously.
System Response
Depending on the context in which the error arises, the system continues processing, or the required function cannot be performed.
Procedure
You have the following options, for example:
Check that the serial numbers are entered fully.
If necessary, display an error log.
If necessary, contact your system administrator.
What did I miss?
How to fix this problem?
Please help.
Thanks in advance
George

I added the serialization procedure HUSL to the serial number profile and it fixed the problem.

Stock Transport Order of Handling Unit

Hello All,
I create a stock transport order for a material that is packed, at the point of issuing the material out, i get the following message:
"HU item contains different data than the stock posting
Message no. HUGENERAL319
Diagnosis
The stock that is to be posted is not in handling unit .
System Response
The system cannot post this material.
Procedure
Check the accuracy of the HU and IM inventories. If they are correct, contact your system administrator about this problem."
Please how do i solve this.
thanks.

It seems in delivery one line item is not packed.Check is all the line items has the same HU location or not.If any item has different location then check is the line item related to HU location.Check all line items are packed or not in Pack box.If any thing not packed then pack and do PGI.System should allow the PGI.

Packing handling units to outbound delivery with batch management

Hello all,
I am packing an outbound delivery with a material that has batch management active. The packing is from a storage location that manages handling units (HU-managed sloc).
My problem is u2013 before entering the HUs to the delivery u2013 the system asks me to enter the batches (in the batch split function). Only then I am allowed to enter the HUs in the packing function.
What could be the reason for this preliminary batch entries ?
How can I set the system not to do that, i.e., I would like to be able to enter the HUs directly without entering the batchs separately.
Thanks,
Isaac

Dear Isaac,
this system behaviour can not be changed in standard and is also not recommended to change it via a modification. The reason for this system behaviour is to avoid inconsistencies in the system. The HU that you assign to the delivery, should exactly fit to the delivery. In case if the material is batch managed, you should specify the batch first, and then add the fitting HU with exactly that batch.
I suppose you checked the longtext for HUDIALOG102, that you get in the described case, but I copy it for you, in case if you did not read it:
"Diagnosis
There are items to be handled in batches which have not yet been
assigned to a batch.
Batches must be recognized for items with HU-managed storage location
For items at a storage location that is not HU-managed, the item type
determines if packing will take place at cumulated item quantity level
(meaning that the batch is not recognized at any point in the handling
unit) or if packing must take place at batch level.
System Response
If an item requires batch identification, that item will not be
suggested for packing as long as the batch is not recognized.
Procedure
Go to the maintenance of the delivery item and assign at least one batch
to the item."

Ely

Automatic creation of TO's for Handling Unit Inbound Delivery -del type HID

Hi Guru's,
I would like to create the putaway TO's for a Handling Unit inbound delivery automatically (delivery type HID). This means at the moment of the creation of the Inbound Delivery. The packing is also automatically done by the customizing of the delivery type. Did somebody faced this requirement before?
Thx,
Carl

I found the solution:
Choose Customizing activity Define Output Types for Inbound Delivery, and define output type WMTA. Enter the following values in the detail view of output type WMTA under General Data:
Enter an existing Access sequence. Access sequence 0001 is predefined in the standard system.
Set the indicator Access to conditions.
Set the indicator Partner-indep. output.
Save your entries.
In the menu tree, choose the entry Processing Routines in the Customizing activity Define Output Types, and enter the following values:
Choose entry 8 (special function) for the indicator Transmission Medium.
Enter RLAUTA20 in the field Program.
Enter ENTRY in the field Form Routine.
Save your entries.
Choose the Customizing activity Maintain Output Determination Procedure.
Define a procedure and enter the output type WMTA in the control view of the procedure. The procedure E10001 is predefined in the standard system.
To define a suitable condition record for inbound deliveries,
choose Logistics -> Materials Management -> Purchasing -> Master Data ->
Messages -> Inbound Delivery -> Create from the SAP menu.
Enter the output type WMTA.
Enter output medium 8 (special function) for delivery type Inbound Delivery.
Select the desired Date/Time.
Select the desired Language.
Cheers,
Carl

How to delete the item from Delivery?? (Handling Unit)

Dear SDNs,
I have a scenario of HU (Handling Unit).
Now here I have a case where the complete cycle is done. But end user now wants to change/delet the item in Delivery. So I have guided them to reverse all documents and it is done.
Now delivery is in Editable Mode. Now here when I try to Delete Delivery Line Item.. It is giving Error like "Item has already been packed and therefore cannot be deleted"
Diagnosis says "It is not possible to delete packed items."
Procedure says "Unpack the item from the shipping unit before you delete it."
Now when I select Line Item and click the PACK Button to go to the screen for "Processing of Handling Units for outbound Delivery XXXXXXX", it goes to the screen but here there is not Existing HUs available to Delete/Empty... whole screen is Blank.. even no Material to be packed...
I think user have proceeded the cycle without HU assignment.
So now I want to Delete the Line Items and want to insert fresh Items again...
Any inputs???
Thanks & Regards,
HP

Hi
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).

Handling Unit problem in Packing for STO

Hello All,
The problem is related to Packing process in case of Stock Transfer Order (STO).After making delivery while doing the packing procedure, in " Handling Unit " supplements 'Handling Unit Group 1' field is not getting populated / assigned automatically (under additional data tab) though all the master data against 'Handling Unit Group 1' for example 00001 to 00500 are already maintained.Apart from this the combination of finished good & packing material in the packaging instruction in POP2 are also maintained.
Point to be noted is in another scenario the handling unit is getting automatically populated in the packing process after delivery where also the above mentioned areas are not maintained, but still it is working properly which is not clear why & how is this taking place.
The procedure followed in the second scenario which is working are as follows -
In outbound delivery change mode (T Code - VL02N) go to Pack -> Click on Pack Proposal -> Expand packing instruction -> select 602 -> Create HUs -> Message shown is Handling Units were created -> click on Pack material & select the 'Handling Unit' line -> then select 'Detailed view general' -> then go to Additional Data where in Handling Unit Group 1, value is automatically populated / assigned for example 00027.
In my process the value for example 00001 is not getting automatically populated/ assigned.How to do this ?
Looking forward to some valuable suggestions at the earliest.
Thanks & Regards
Priyanka Mitra

I see you hae reposted the question, please request for a solution from SAP they might proide you an OSS note.

"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.

Hi,
Thank you very much...
i have another doubt.....
i am unable to understand determination of packing instructions.
where it is linking i am confused.
we are assigning the determination procedure in the T.code
OVHU2.(Maintain Packing Transaction Profile in IMG).
my doubt is where we are assigning this Transaction Profile in Handling Units.
Please help me....

Handling Unit Error

Hi All,
The scenario is STO from Plant(2003) to Plant(2002) within company and sales from Plant 2002 to customer.
VA01(Plant2002-no stock)->ME21N->VL10B(with HU-from Plant 2003)->VF01(JEX)->MIGO(GR w.r.t delivery,selecting via.HU)> VL02N-from Plant 2002(with same HU of Plant 2003)-> VF01.
When i am doing the outbound delivery from Plant 2002(with same HU of Plant 2003), iam getting the following error.
Handling unit 1000000023 has status 0040 - No Assignment to outbound delivery
Message no. HUDIALOG141
Diagnosis
While processing an outbound delivery, you can only assign handling untis that are currently in stock. This includes handling units with status '0020' = (stock not at HU STORAGE LOCATION) and '0030' (stock at HU STORAGE LOCATION).
Handling unit 1000000023 that you selected has a current status of 0040,
System response
Handling unit 1000000023 cannot be assigned to this outbound delivery.
Procedure
If the handling unit has status '0001' (planned) or '0010'-'0011' (realized), check whether you have to post goods receipt for the handling unit. If the stock is already in the warehouse, you can change the status manually by choosing 'Process handling unit'.
Kindly help me.
with regards

Hi Azeez,
I hope you are trying to pack the material in already used HU.
In your scenario, initially plant 2003 used a HU to deliver the goods to plant 2002. now after doing GR in 2002, you are PGI ing from 2002. You can only use existing HU's that are available for packing in plant 2002. If you try to use HU of plant 2003, if it is not defined in plant 2002 system won't allow to use it.
Thanks

Handling unit output determination questions

I have configured a new output type for a custom label we need to implement for handling units.   It is assigned as V6, for Ship-to Party/Shipping Material.
In VL01N or VL02N, I am able to create the handling units and pack the delivery line item materials into them.
I am able to manually assign the output type to the handling unit in VL01N/VL02N, but have not been successful in getting the output type to auto populate. I have verified that it is not populated after packing the HU and saving from VL01N, or when doing from VL02N, or after PGI.
I have been searching the forums and have not found the answers I need.
1. Is it possible for the output type to automatically populate for a handling unit? If so, at what point should this happen? I would think based on how our custom label output types for delivery documents behave, it would assign after save from either VL01N or VL02N.
2. When I create the HU, I specify a VERP packaging material number that represents the carton in order to create the HU. I do not have the material on the sales order or delivery as a line-item, and I am not getting any error messages indicating that it should be.
If this should work the way we expect it to, any suggestions on what I have overlooked that would prevent my output type from automatically assigning?
Thanks in advance for your help.
Dave

Hi Joan,
Thank you for your answers. They were most helpful. I was finally able to get the new Output Type to assign after I created the HU's and saved the delivery.
Hopefully you won't mind if I ask some related questions.
1. If I went to VL02N for a delivery where I had already created the handling unit, it did not automatically get the Output Type assigned when I saved. (Like it does for our delivery based labels when I add a user in NACE that previously wasn't identified to get the label.)   Is this the normal behavior for HU-based output or am I still missing something in my setup?
2. I did the VHAR step and specified both the Output Determination Procedure and the Output Type of my new label,as suggested.   This did work once I finally tested by creating a new HU for a delivery, rather than checking an existing delivery/HU. Is entering the Output Type here critical? If another customer has a different label format, I think assigning the Output Type here this will cause a problem for us. (I haven't had a chance to change the config to remove this and see if the Output assigns based on references elsewhere, now that I know it seems to assign only when the HU is initially created.)
Thanks again!
Dave

URGENT DELIVERY HANDLING UNIT STATUS ERROR

Hi Experts when i am doing PGI i am getting the following error and system is not allowing to do PGI
ERROR: When trying to read the status of an object (HU 210868), a system error occurred: For object number HU0000210868 there is no status object.

Hi Ramesh,
The material is having the Packing ( Handling Units).
In delivery please do the Packing for the Materials because they have linked with the Handling Units. and Also check the wheather the Handling Units are configured properly.
For your Information please go through the Below which will help you further.
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.

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.

Shipment cost information - handling units

Hello ,
( After reviewing notes 393849, 934370 , 746606 )
i have a problem with shipment cost information from sales
order ( VA02 ; VICI ) when the shipment cost is calculated according to handling units.
In our S.C.C regular scenario the shipment cost is calculated according to the packing materials in the shipment ( VT02 ) .
The pricing procedure includes the follwing condition records :
Condition y050 : Calc.type - S ( number of shipping units ) ;
                  Calc.base - C ( Handling units ) .
and a few conditions with the same definition as :
Condition y051 : Calc.type - S ( number of shipping units ) ;
                  Calc.base - '' ( ALL ) .
( in order to overcome regular S.C.C customization the above
p.procedure is determined in exit - shipment costing : configure
pricing - V54B001 - EXIT_SAPLV54B_001 ) .
After filling the necessary fields in VA01/VA02 such as Material , volume , weight , packing proposal and then executing the shipment cost information according to the planning profile we get error message
( VY-140 ) :
" shipment cost not saved because they contain no items " .
After debugging in   - EXIT_SAPLV54B_002 : none of the handling units in VA01/VA02 ( packing proposal ) is transferred to pricing structure "KOMP" and therefore the shipment cost calculation is
not completed ( to my best knowledge . . . ) .
when proccessing the transactions online VA02->VL02N the packing proposal is transferred as expected .
any ideas ?
Regards
ASA

Hi Sudeer,
Once again please check the configuration steps
-->Define Shipment cost information profile
-->Assign planning profile
-->Also check the variants which you are maintaining in the planning profine.
-->Check the input data in the variants which you have maintained.

Handling Unit Number Range

Hi All,
How to give external number range to a handling uni.
The scenario is:
In HU02 screen I am giving packaging material number, material number and quantity.
Than when I press enter system automatically taking one number in the handling unit field.
But my client wants to give here an external number range not the internal number range.
How to give external number range for the handling unit?
Regards
Ashis

hai,
I am also not having access to SAP currently i am giving you the following information, check this out
Assigning New Numbers for Handling Units
Use
If, for example, you are going to deliver handling units worldwide, unique number assignment for identification of the handling units is necessary, and it is also a good idea to assign SSCC18 numbers ( see also EAN128).
Prerequisites
In the Customizing settings for the packaging material type, you must maintain the Handling unit type field.
In Customizing, choose Logistics General ® Handling Unit Management ® External Identification ® Define Number Assignment for Each Packaging Material Type.
Maintain the HU type for EAN128 field for the relevant packaging material type.
Procedure
In the packing dialog, select the Pack material tab.
Select the handling unit for which you want to assign an SSCC18.
Choose Extras ® SSCC number assignment.
Result
A new SSCC18 number is generated and automatically assigned to the handling unit.
regards
Sudhir
