Handling unit process step by step

Dear All,
We intend to use handling unit functionality.
Our FG let's say FG001 gets packed in container.
I have mapped this as following.
I have created 'Container' as code with material type VERP- Packaging Material. Maintained the required data in Sales org. tab page.
I have created packing instruction in POP1 with container as packing material & FG001 as material.
I have maintained the determination record in POF1 (Frankly I didn't understand the relevance of this step, but did cos has been suggested in several threads.)
Now I have to perform the packing process of FG001 in HU02.
But system is throwing me an error as 'No packing instruction could be found for material FG001', message no. VHUPD002.
I have stuck up there. Kind request you to help me in this, regarding any configuration & processing step, if I am missing.
Also I am few questions to get clear.
1. How to maintain the batch no. of packing material 'Container' while creating/ generating HU as my packing material is batch managed, and need to have information in which HU the batch of packing material is utilized.
2. What happens to the stock statement (MMBE)of both the materials i.e. FG001 & Container when those are get packed i.e. HU created/ generated.
Please respond urgently.
Timely answers will be rewarded.

VS,
Thanks once again.
You got it right. I was confused as I was unable to understand why packing material is not moving along with the FG material.
Moreover our packing material is container. Once it is packed container moves from plant to plant & then to final destination.
As we have to track the movement of the container, it was necessary for us to the have stock statement.
I am still surprised why standard SAP doesn't support the movement of the packing material along with the contents i.e. FG?
Now to tackle this, we have thought of a way out.
We have maintained two material codes for container. one is dummy container and second is main container for which we have to track the goods movement. Both will be having same material type as VERP but only difference is later won't be having packing material type in sales view. So it will act as normal material.
While creating HU with HU02, both the materials with quantities will be entered in pack material section. Dummy packing material serve as packing material. Here my question is what is HU creation & HU generation? Because system is throwing me an error while generation as 'no packing instruction are there for the material although I have defined determination source in POF1 but when I save the HU with out generating it, system doesn't throw this error
The HU is getting created but I am unable to enter that HU number in VL01N while creating the delivery. How to do that?

Handling Units Configuration Steps

Can anybody please send me the step by step configuration steps for Handling Unit.
Thanks in Advace for your help.
SUNIL

The following process chain provides an example of how Handling Unit Management can be set up for integrated implementation in the relevant SAP components
Process Flow
Sales and Distribution
·        You receive a sales order for certain materials. If you have a special agreement with the customer as to the packaging in which this material is to be delivered, you can reflect this agreement by using existing (or creating) packing instructions and a corresponding packing-instruction determination record. You can use this agreement at any point during packing. If the agreement is limited to this particular order, the information is created in the order in the form of a packing proposal. This agreement is then also available during packing in repetitive manufacturing and in the delivery.
·        An availability check is run for the order items. If the system determines that the sales order cannot be filled by using the warehouse stock currently available, a requirement is created for production (in the case of in-house production) or for purchasing (in the case of external procurement).
Production
·        A manufacturing order (such as a work order) is created for the respective material on the basis of the order requirement.
·        The raw material required for production is reserved (if it is in stock).
Purchasing
·        If the raw material is not available in sufficient quantities, or if the material required for the sales order needs to be acquired externally, purchase orders are created from the requirements generated for material procurement.
Goods receipt
·        The vendor notifies the goods recipient of the delivery of the goods by using a shipping notification that also contains the packaging data. The shipping notification generates an inbound delivery that includes the packing information from the shipping notification. If there is no EDI notification, the inbound delivery must be created and packed manually for the purchase order. The handling units are put away and the inbound delivery is posted for goods receipt.
Quality Management
·        If the packing data is known in the inbound/outbound delivery, an inspection lot is created for these handling units and the stock is posted to quality inspection stock upon goods receipt/goods issue.
·        If the handling units have been put away in HU-managed storage locations, the handling units can be re-transferred since the stock is still managed through the handling unit.
Warehouse Management
·        Handling units with raw materials are provided in time for production in accordance with the production requirement.
Quality inspection
·        As soon as the quality inspection is complete, the stock in the handling units is posted to unrestricted-use stock or to scrap materials, depending on the usage decision.
Inventory Management
·        If the production storage location is not HU-managed, the goods issue of the raw material takes place through an explicit stock posting or through the verification from production.
·        If the production storage location is HU-managed, the goods issue takes place either after successful staging of the materials or through explicit specification of the handling unit.
Production
·        The production process is executed and the raw materials are used.
·        The handling units that result from this step are planned.
·        As a last step, the material that was produced is packed, either in production or after production. The handling units that are created in this way are confirmed as implemented. If there was no planning, the handling units are created directly as implemented handling units.
Quality Management
·        If the status of the handling unit changes from planned to implemented (or changes during creation of implemented handling units from production), an inspection lot is created for the handling units.
Inventory Management
·        The handling units are posted for goods receipt after verification from production (or in a separate step). Quality Management decides whether the handling unit is to be posted to unrestricted-use stock, inspection stock, or quality-inspection blocked stock.
Shipping
·        An outbound delivery is created from the sales order
Warehouse Management
·        Transfer orders are created for the materials to be delivered and the handling units are picked from stock. If only partial quantities of existing handling units are required, handling units are created for the picked materials.
·        The picked handling units are confirmed to the delivery.
Shipping
·        The handling units that were picked can be repacked in the delivery. If there is a packaging proposal in the sales order, the delivery can be packed automatically in accordance with this proposal.
·        Goods issue is posted for the handling units.
·        The customer is informed through EDI about this delivery.

Use handling units for subcontracting

Hello Experts,
we are currently trying to improve our subcontracting process. The stock of material is provided to the vendor in boxes, he processes the articles and delivers them back to us in the same boxes.
To be able to identify the boxes when they come back, we want to use handling units.
When i tried to test this, i faced a problem in transaction VLMOVE. There is no handling unit process similar to movement type 541.
Is this a customizing issue or is it not allowed to use handling units for subcontracting?
Hope you can provide some information on this.
Kind regards

Dear Akill,
Goto MM01 and create a material code for Shirt with base unit of measure as CAR.
Then goto 'Addition Data (Ctrl+F6)' button, in that click on 'Unit of Measure' in that first line will be
X              Y
1 CAR      1 CAR

Handling Unit number range HU_VEKP

Hi Folks,
I have a requirement related to Handling Unit number ranges. I need to merge two systems ABC & 123, during the migration process I found number range conflict for Handling Unit process. In packaging material type (0002) functionality the number range assignment field is maintained with the option "An external number can be enbtered (No HU functionality)" and the field intervals are empty for ABC system. The other 123 system has configuration like "B number range interval "HU_VEKP" and field intervals are maintained Internal -01, External -01.
If we merge this both systems then there could be a problem in both the instances. So I need give them a solution to avoid the overlap.
One strange thing is for 123 system is generating number ranges from HU_VEKP that is fine and the other system ABC doesn't have number range assignment setting like HU_VEKP instead of that as I mentioned above "An external number can be enbtered (No HU functionality)" but still system generating number ranges for each transactional process.
I would request you to suggest me what are the various ways to generate a HU number during the packing section.
Appreciate earlier response.
Thanks & Regards.

Use Tcode SNRO.
Provide your object type HU_VEKP
Then click on change button, it will take you to No. Range Object: Change screen.
Then click on Number range in menu bar to maintain the number range.
Hope it can assist you.
Thanks & Regards

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?

Error:Assign handling Unit from one Process order to another process order

Hi Experts,
I am facing different issues in assigning handling unit from one process order to another.
Business process:
1. Two similar Process Orders are existing in the system
2. Delivery is created for first process order using LP10 for one or more components
3. TO is created in foreground using VL06P
4. TO is confirmed by providing in stock available Handling Unit (HU) / storage Unit details Using LT12
5. Customized transaction is used to reassign newly created HU (created in previous step) from first process order to second process order. As a result many steps are performed in background for delinking the HU from first process order to second process order (including creation of different TOs)
I am facing different issues in the process:
1. Sometimes while confirming the TO in step 4: error is received as "Reservation item 0065 with material 4013959300300 does not exist" OR "Reservation item with material does not exist"
2. If the TO is confirmed in step 4. I am facing error in step 5 as "Warehouse number does not exist (new selection required)"
Both these errors are standard errors and I could not find much information on them in SCN also.
If anyone can throw light on any of them then it would be great.
Please let me know if any additional information is required.
Thanks
Harsh Aggarwal

Hi Manish
Thanks for your response. Actually, the customized program is used only in fifth step and not till TO confirmation so that error is not related to Customized program. However, in some cases I am able to do the confirmation but the error is received in 5th step i.e. Warehouse number does not exist (new selection required)"
Any further guidance you can provide. I will ask ABAP to check the customized program but the error seems to be a standard error.

Guided Procedures Runtime showing internal process steps in UWL

Hi
We have created a Guided Procedures Workflow which is working fine most of the time. However, sometimes, Guided Procedures runtime behaviour is rather strangely, it 's showing internal process steps as clickable workitems in the UWL. Clicking on the workitem causes a Null Pointer Exception.
Example:
Let's say, the workflows is as follows:
- Execute Callable Object "start"
- Decision "myDecision"
- If Decsion returns true
- Then execute Callable Object "A"
- Ese execute Callable Object "B"
Normally "myDecision" wouldn't appear in the UWL. But sometimes, it is showing up there. When we click on it, there is the following exception. After a while, everything is normal again (no internal workitems, no exceptions). Does anyone know what is happing here and what can be done to prevent it?
Kind regards

You mean the entry in the UWL list? No, we don't modify this. It is exactly the title we have assigned to in the Guided Procedures Design time environment.
How else can a title be changed? And what kind of problems can occur?

Issue in implementing Dynamic participant chooser process Step

I am facing issue in implementing Participant chooser process Step.
I want to create dynamic Participant chooser process Step, I have implemented 'ParticipantStepChooser' class and overwrote 'getParticipant' method. But this process did not appear in Dynamic participant chooser dropdown in CQ5.6 environment.
I deployed same code in CQ5.5 and process appeared in Dynamic participant chooser dropdown.
This is the sample code which I have used:
@Component(immediate = true, metatype = true, label = "DMP Config Service123")
@Service
@Properties({
        @Property(name = Constants.SERVICE_DESCRIPTION, value = "A sample implementation of a dynamic participant chooser.", propertyPrivate=true),
        @Property(name = Constants.SERVICE_VENDOR, value = "Adobe", propertyPrivate=true),
        @Property(name = ParticipantStepChooser.SERVICE_PROPERTY_LABEL, value = "******** Hello ********", propertyPrivate=true),
        @Property(name = "immediate" , value = "true", propertyPrivate=true)
public class MyDynamicParticipant implements ParticipantStepChooser {
    private static final String TYPE_JCR_PATH = "JCR_PATH";
    @Activate
void activate(ComponentContext context) {
LoggerUtil.infoLog(this.getClass(), " ");
    public String getParticipant(WorkItem workItem, WorkflowSession workflowSession, MetaDataMap args) throws WorkflowException {
LoggerUtil.infoLog(this.getClass(), "inside getParticipant method{} ");
        WorkflowData workflowData = workItem.getWorkflowData();
        if (workflowData.getPayloadType().equals(TYPE_JCR_PATH)) {
String path = workflowData.getPayload().toString();
String pathFromArgument = args.get("PROCESS_ARGS", String.class);
if (pathFromArgument != null && path.startsWith(pathFromArgument)) {
return "admin";
        return "administrators";

Make sure to change your imports in 5.6 to use granite api. Please change from [1] to [2].

How can you tell if a process step is already being processed?

Further to my last note regarding assigned a process step to multiple users, how can you determine if the step is currently being processed by another user? When opening a task which has already been opened by another user, the message "The following action has been opened by another 1 user(s)...."
I would like to prevent the second user from making any changes to the object if it's already been opened by another user, hence this request.
Thx!

Otherwise, you are pretty much working on trust. If you want to purchase something online and the site takes you through a paypal based checkout, it's fairly standard practice.

How to provide transition comment while completing a process step

Out of the box, we can indicate transition comment for participant steps when completing a inbox item, which is then displayed as a subheading of a inbox item for next step - which is really helpful.
but, how can i provide a transition comment, when completing a process step.
I see the complete method, but dont see where i can provide transition comment.
complete(WorkItem item, Route route)
Environment CQ 5.5

Its workitem metadata which holds the comments info. Can you try this if it works
workitem.getWorkflowData().getMetaData(); which will return the dictionary object and set "comment" in this object.
