Handling unit proposal

Hi All,
Can anyone help me to create handling unit proposal either manually or through packing instruction in handling unit management.
I tried to create a HU proposal in HU02, but system throws err message
"Material not found against the material to be packed" I just verified the item category its C i.e Packed material. I have entered Packing material first and then Material to be packed.
Thanks & Regards

Hi Friends
How to create handling units and assigning them as Packing Proposal for Sales Order Items in the background.
Could you please help to provide Input Parameters for BAPI_HU_CREATE for sales order OR is there any other program creating and assigning them to Sales Order line Items.
Thanks in Advance.

Sales Order Packing Proposal Handling Units Serial Numbers

Hi Guru
I am able to create SAP Sales Order Packing Proposal to pack the Line items and also Handling Units got created.
But I can not assign serial nos in to this handling Units .Serial No ICON Greyed out (Not Editable) in the Sales Order Handling Unit Screen.
Please help
Thanks
SR

Hi,
In my point view packing material should be used in the delivery document only.
Not in sales order.
Because in delivery document you can pack the material and get the handling unit number also.
So why you want it should be done at the sales order level only?
It's my point of view and it may be wrong also.
But I will prefer to use the packing material in delivery document only not in sales order.
Regards
Raj.

Create and Pack Handling Units in the Sales Order Using HU_CREATE_ONE_HU

Hello Experts,
I am trying to use HU_CREATE_ONE_HU function module to create a handling unit and pack it with specific line items in the sales order program in the background. I am able to create the handling unit and pack it but it does not get associated to the sales order / line item. If you look at the sale order's packing proposal, it does not show it packed. If I look at VEKP / VEPO, I see where it was created but there is no value for vbeln or the posnr I proposed. Below is the code, I am using. Does anyone know what I am doing wrong or is there another function module I can use?

The abap statement does not make sense.
xlips_high_posnr = ( lips-posnr / tvlk-incpo ) * tvlk-incpo
posnr & incpo are both type numc length 6.
Here is my recommendation to catch the divide by zero error.
data: l_oref    type REF to cx_root.
data: l_text    type string.
TRY.
        clear l_text.
         xlips_high_posnr = lips-posnr / tvlk-incpo.
        CATCH cx_sy_zerodivide INTO v_oref.
          l_text = l_oref->get_text( ).
        CLEANUP.
*      Put your code to do further processing if it is divide by zero
ENDTRY.

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.

Confirming transfer order for nested handling units (picking and shipping)

Hi
My shipping location is HU + WM, I understand we cannot "auto confirm" Transfer Orders during creation from an outbound delivery (LT03) in the case of nested HUs because the system wants to know which exact box HUs ( The TO only specifies the pallet HU...storage unit)
I have an automatic Pick HU created during TO confirmation but the system still prompts for me to enter box HUs that need to be shipped/repacked on LT12. This makes logical sense but is slowing down our shipping process. Since we do not put HU labels on our boxes, the picker has to go into HUMO, enter the pallet HU, retrieve the box HUs and finally enter some of those on the TO confirmation screen to match the open quantity. In reality we don't really care what HUs he picks as long as he picks from the right pallet.
Is there any way to automate this? If the system can pick box HUs sequentially, randomly or create further pick HUs. Anything but doesnt ask the picker to put in the box HU numbers
OR
Is there a way to auto confirm TOs during creation
OR
Is there any way to putaway box level HUs into the warehouse at the end of the production line so that Storage Unit is the box HU number and not the pallet HU number, that way it wouldn't prompt me for box HUs during picking.
I would really appreciate your help.

This is the standard SAP for picking nested handling units. You can do some more reading on this by accessing the SAP note 829266.
We had a similar problem with nested handling units - what we ended up doing was writing a BDC program that would take the nested handling unit and pack it back onto that HU instead of the pick HU after TO confirmation was done in the delivery.
In order to get your TO to automatically confirm, check the configuration for the storage type that its picking from - look to see if "Storage Type requires confirmation for removal/placement" is checked.
You can als ocheck the movement type configuration for Propose Confirmation.

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.

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.
Go through this link about Shipment Cost Information in the Order

Auto Confirmation of PICK TO's with Handling Units !!

I want to Create an Outbound Delivery.
I then want to automatically create pick transfer orders, in the background.
I then want to automatically confirm these transfer orders, in the background.
I am creating my Outbound Delivery with reference to a Sales Order using transaction VL10A.
I have set-up Output Type WMTA to Auto Create my Pick Transfer Orders for the Outbound Delivery, when it is created.
I have set Movement Type 601 to Auto Confirm (TO item can be confirm. immed = x/ AND Propose confirmation = x).
I have set Source Storage Type for Picking to NOT require Confirmation (Stock removal requires confirmation = BLANK).
BUT the transfer orders that are created are NOT confirmed immediately.
I am using handling unit management but wouldnt see this as the problem?! anyone any ideas??
thanks,
A

Hi,
In trasaction code "OMLX" make the settingss as shown below,
Against your warehosue number and movement type
Confirm Immediatly = X
Propose Confirmation = X
No Two Step confirmation = X
Screen TO Quit = "Blank" (No value should be entered)
It worked for me, please check and let me know.

Handling Unit Problem

Dear Friends,
I am facing some prblems in Mannual Packaging at the time Delivery. After the Transaction code VL01N when I am clicking for Packaging and then "Pack. Proposal", the system is giving error stating that "No packing instruction could be found for material 1482". In detailed screen it is telling "Diagnosis
The system could not find a packing instruction for material 1482.
Procedure
This problem can have various causes, such as:
o there is no packing instruction determination record for this material
o the wrong determination procedure was used to start packing instruction determination."
I have configured everything and in the Material master of Mat 1482 I have given Packaging type VERP and I have created packaging Material as CARTON.
Please help to resolve the issue. What is "Packing Instruction determination record" .
Thanks,
Jans

Hello Jans
Packing Instruction determination record is a master data (condition record) which specifies how automatic packing needs to be done. I think you tried to do automatic packing.
T code : POP1
Menu Path: Logistics / Central Functions / Handling Unit Management / Master Data / Packing Instructions/ Create.

this looks like sales bom, but not like a handling unit.
A handling unit would be if you have 3 items in a sales order and pack them via Edit > Packing Proposal.
if you only have 1 item in the sales order, then you can only mention different Country of origins in a long text

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.

PACKING-Handling Unit

Dear SAP,
We are using Manual Packing in our business scenario. In the packing process, system will not considering, Most appropriate material to pack in the handling unit, if the handling unit have some space, But the system is considering the immediate next material only.
Here I am explaining the business process:
1.Packing Material CART is having allowed volume is 10 CCM.
2.There are three material (Normal finished material )
Material     -   Volume
    X     -   1 CCM
    Y     -    2.5 CCM
    Z     -    1.5 CCM
3.The Delivery consists of following delivery quantity:
Item No -     Material -   Quantity
90001     - X     -   8
90002     - Y     -   4
90002     - Z     -   1
4.While in packing, the system generating the three Handling units.
Handling unit     -     Material    -          Quantity     - Total Volume
Handling Unit 1         -        X     -     8     - 8CCM
Handling Unit 2         -        Y     -     4     - 10CCM
Handling Unit 3         -        Z     -     1     - 1.5 CCM
But above generation is wrong .system has to generate as
Handling unit     -     Material   -   Quantity     -     Total Volume
Handling Unit 1          -        X     -     8     -     9.5CCM
          -                  Z     -     1
Handling Unit 2          -        Y     -     4     -     10 CCM
The Reason as follows:
System first packing the item no: 90001, in handling unit1 (Say consumed 8 CCM) and for remaining space, its considering the only immediate next item only (i.e. Item-90002), But its not considering the most appropriate material (item no.90003)
Kindly help me out in above scenario.
Regards,
Shekar

U can always change manually in the sales order if there is a mismatch the quantity which can be fit into the carton.... from the packing proposal screen in the sales order or Handling unit screen in the delivery...
Create the packing instruction for the quantity which is regularly used and change manually for all the other quantities...
As far as I know there is no other option for this...
Thanks and Regards,

TO Confirmation. Handling units with multiple batches.

Hi all!!
I have a problem when i try to confirm an outbound TO with several positions. The problem is that the proposed handling unit is different than the original one. This problem only occurs when the handling unit has several batches, if there's only one this doesn't happen.
This is configured in the customizing of the movement(601), but I don't know why it doesn´t work with multiple batches.
Any idea?
Thanks a lot.

Hi!
I have had the same problem and I put a note to sap. Their answer was:
"As per my previous reply, the functionality you are requesting is not
available in the standard system. When processing a TO, each item is
confirmed line by line. There is no check on the remaining TO items
if there is remaining stock in the source HU."
Hope this help.
Regards,
Tatiana

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?
