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.
Regards.

if we have the delivery with the packaging already done(VL02n) it should be present in shipment creation already ...better have the delivery with packaging already done and do that shipment .
however if you are doing packaging(Handling Unit ) dusring shipment(VT01) i have not much clarity on that .
Please refer below threads to gain some insights , We do not have much information on this in the Forum .

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

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.

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

Getting shipment number from handling units

Hi Abapers,
is there any bapi avaible to get the shipment number by passing handling unit identification number.
Thanks & Regards,
Swapna .

Hi all,
I found the solution to fetch shipment number based on handling unit.
In table level, Go to SE11 transaction.
Enter table name : VEKP.
Pass VENUM(handling unit number).
VPOBJ = 04
and Execute.
See the field value VPOBJKEY.
This value is shipment number.
If u got to table VTTK and pass this shipment number obtained previously. it will have entry with this shipment number.
Thanks,

How to Issue Output for a Single Handling Unit from Shipment

Handling units in Shipments cannot be unpacked

Dear All,
In shipments, there are HUs which needs to be unpacked since user wants to delete the related deliveries. When he goes to Shipment change mode and tries to unpack the HUs, it is greyed out in and not able to delete or empty the HUs. System gives a message (green color) "The Handling units cannot be changed". Kindly help me to resolve this issue.
Your efforts regarding this would be appreciated and rewarded.
Regards
Samier Danish

Ok, just to be sure;
1) did you pack in the deliveries? You're not trying to unpack these HU's?
2) is there a user status scheme active?
3) did you pack the deliveries and did you pack these HU's into a new HU in the shipment? And are you now trying to unpack the HU created in the shipment?
4) is the packaging button itself greyed out?
5) what is the status of the HU you're trying to unpack?

External Handling Unit (Barcode) Information is Missing

Hello Folks,
I got a requirement where a warehouse will send us an EDI 945 file to confirm the shipment completion. But, it send us the file without SSCC labels for those shipped items of the order. This 945 is being translated into a SHPCON IDOC(DELVRY03) which doesn't contain the E1EDL37(Handling unit header). This IDOC is failing in status 51 with the error message: External Handling Unit (Barcode) Information is Missing.
What should be done to get this IDOC posted sucessfully even if it doesn't contain the SSCC label? Is there any setting that should be changed for this customer to not to look for SSCC labels(External Handling unit).
Thanks for your help,
Siva

This could be because of custom code. Check the exits in inbound FM and you should find out the root cause. Standard SAP doesn't check for customer level SSCC checks. If it gets the HU's from 3PL, it'll pack it such way. If it doesn't, it'll pack is the usual way.

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).

"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.

OVHU2.(Maintain Packing Transaction Profile in IMG).

Please help me....

Batch number field in Handling Unit detail (VT01N) is not editable

Hi, Does anyone know how to turn the batch number field (screen field HUMV4-CHARG in program SAPLV51G screen 6410) editable?
Right now, it is not allow us to specify the batch for delivery line item if there are multiple batches for the same line item when the item is packed into a handling unit.
The batch number is in the delivery table but it will not come into the shipment table when the delivery is added to the shipment, nor the field is editable for user input.
Please help!
Thank you,
Minami

Output from Handling Units

Hi Experts,
we are printing Output Labels for Handling Units after saving a Shipment.
Following case:
User save a Shipment and all HU-Outputs are created.
If the User delete this Shipment and create another one with another Delivery ID (withsame ****-to-Party, Materials, HU...), the system don't print the HU-Output because it already exist (into VL74). We have to print it manually with Processing Mode 2.
Can I use a User-Exit (i.e. EXIT_SAPLV56U_002) to re-print the HU-Output? Which Delivery ID contain the HU-Output (the old or the new one)?
Regards,
David

Hi David,
you can use VL71 to reprint the out puts. Kindly check.

Hi,
The solution for creating inbound delivery that you people have suggested is already in place. The problem is not with creation of inbound delivery but with assigning the material HUs to the inbound delivery. As material HUs are having status assigned to Shipment Document which is created after outbound delivery is processed. How should I go about it? Even after status of shipment document is made complete, assignment of HUs to inbound delivery is not possible. Please help to resolve this issue.
Thanks and regards,
