Handling Unit with packaging Material

Hi All
Can someody plz tell me WM process. Plz go through my scenario:
I want to transfer the material from one site to another site through STO.
I create an STO(ME21N) -> Delivery (VL10D) -> Handling Unit(HU02) -> Outbound Delivery of HU(VLMOVE) -> PGI(VL02N) -> Inbound Delivery at recieving Site(VLMOVE) -> PGR(VL32N)
I am having a problem. While doing the Inbound delivery through VLMOVE i enter the receiving site and sloc. But in PGR (VL32N), again i need to enter site and sloc for packing material. But for material the site and sloc in automatically detected.
Plz give me any idea, how packing material behaves in this process. How packing material can detect the site and sloc automatically from inbound delivery.
Delivery Type for outbound delivery - HOD
Delivery Type for inbound delivery - HID
Item Category for outbound delivery for material - HODN
Item Category for outbound delivery for packing material - ZLNO(copy of HODN)
Item Category for inbound delivery for material - HIDN
Item Category for inbound delivery for packing material - ZLNI(copy of HIDN)
Plz send any documentation if somebody can for WM process at (nanda.kpl at the rate gmail) - material transfer from one site to another site through STO and HU management?
Full points will be awarded.
Thanks & Regards
Kapil Nanda

Thanx

What is the difference between handling unit and packaging material

hi
what is the difference between handling unit and packaging material

Hi,
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.
Packaging materials are intended to enclose or hold together the materials that are to be packed. In other words, the material that is to be packed can be packed into or onto the packaging material. The packaging material can be a load carrier. The most important packaging materials include crates, boxes, containers, wire baskets, and pallets.

Mapping handling unit IDs to material numbers

Dear Gurus,
I want to map handling unit IDs to material numbers (MATNR from /SAPAPO/MATKEY). How can I do this? Which tables do I need to join with /SCWM/ORDIM_C?
I found attribute MATID in table /SCWM/ORDIM_C which contains 32 digits and is a hex code. There's also an attribute MATID in /SAPAPO/MATKEY but this one has 22 digits and is a string.
Regards,
Mike

Hi Mike,
To be able to map matid from /scwm/ordim_c to /sapapo/matkey you need to convert it.
Pls use the code below:
data lv_matid like /sapapo/matkey-matid.
CALL FUNCTION 'GUID_CONVERT'
EXPORTING
* IV_GUID_X16 =
* IV_GUID_C22 =
 IV_GUID_C32 = /scwm/ordim_c-matid
IMPORTING
* EV_GUID_X16 =
 EV_GUID_C22 = lv_matid
* EV_GUID_C32 =
* EXCEPTIONS
* NO_UNICODE_SUPPORT_YET = 1
* PARAMETERS_ERROR = 2
* OTHERS = 3
IF SY-SUBRC <> 0.
* Implement suitable error handling here
ENDIF.
I hope this will be working for you.

Handling Unit with multiple batches

HI,
Is it possible to create a Handling Unit with multiple batches, when packing a Handling Unit in a Production Order (COWBPACK)?
Thanks

When I create a packing instruction (transaction POP1), I can set indicator "Indicator Batch Mix Allowed".
Explenation:
If this indicator is set, then several batches of the same material may be packed in one handling unit.
Otherwise, only one batch may be packed.
Use
When determining the packing status, the system checks for batch mix violation.
But I still can not create an HU with different batches.
Can anyone help me?

Handling unit with serial numbers in return delivery

There is a handling unit (HU),whose system status is PSTD(goods issue posted). The delivery is posted. The billing document are issued. Handling unit was packed with materials with equipments and serial numbers.
Now I am creating another sales document(I want to return the good) and return delivery. No handling unit is attached to return delivery. (Why not? Returning original sales document is created with reference to original sales document)
Now I attach the serial numbers to the return delivery. (the same serial numbers which are included(packed) in the above mentioned HU). The return delivery is successfully posted. The status of equipment/serial numbers is on stock.
The problem is that this serial number with equipment is still packed in the original HU.
How can unpack the equipment from HU? I think the problem is the status of HU which is PSTD(goods issue posted).
Or alternative: can I move the HU unit from original delivery and attach it to return delivery?
The changing of the status of HU is not posssible because the original delivery is posted and I do not want to change this original documents anymore too.

I am afraid you are right
- The return delivery was created without HU. ( i mean HU which was originally sold in original delivery. )
Do you think I should create HU for return delivery with the same/different ID? How can I transfer equipment from original delivery HU to return delivery and HU ?
The problem seem to be that the original delivery and HU is locked (sytem status= posted )after posting. If I cancel posting of return delivery then I can attach a new HU. But the equipment is still part of the original HU.
Can I move equipment/serial numbers from original to returned HU? Is that possible at all?
I am talking about phisical same HU, so I guess there should be not 2 different HUs in the SAP system created.
I am looking for the scenario to sell equipment in one HU and return it in the same HU with return delivery.
thank you for your effort and responses

Problem with Packaging Material Type

Hello all Gurus,
I have a problem with a packaging material type that I have created copying the standrad Packaging material type LEIH. I created a new packing material type ZPAC - Packaging Material copying LEIH.
I then created a new material master record using this new material type ZPAC.
When I am using this material for packing in outbound delivery document - VL01N, I am getting the following strange error message:
20333 does not have packaging material type and is therefore not a pack.mat.
Please suggest me why this error is coming and how I can rectify this error. Is there any further configuration that I need to do for packaging material types??? Kindly suggest.
Thanks and Regards,
Umakanth.

Hi,
Material type is not enough, you have to maintain proper master data as well as config.
At least please maintain value in MARA-VHART for the packaging material. Please also check these links how HUM works:

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.

Tatiana

Creating a Storage Handling Unit With The Same # As A Storage Unit

Hello dear WM and MM experts,
I'm beginning to use Handling Units and Storage Units. From what I've been reading, it seems like you can have a HU enter the warehouse in the form of a SU with the same ID#. Is that correct? If that's the case, what transaction(s) is used to create the SU using the same ID# as the HU.]
Basically, I have a pallet with product on it and I'd like to know how to have a SU and a HU with the same ID# to be able to handle this pallet in both WM and MM.
Your input is greatly appreciated.

Hi Oscar,
In the shared thread reply from Sushant wanjari talks about both the scenario when HU management is active and when HU management is not active
Basically i am summarizing the response provided by Sushant "In the case where HU management is active and you want to carry HU number as SU number. No need to define the SU number range in the system. SAP recommends only activating length conversion for storage unit numbers. Note, that this setting is made at client level, and is therefore valid for other warehouse numbers in the same client.
Inbound delivery for which Putaway TO needs to be created
HU in the inbound delivery
During TO creation system propose the same HU number as SU number
Hope this helps. Please let us know if you need any further input on this

Creating Handling Unit

Hi All,
Can anyone guide me which BAPI/FM to use to create Handling unit?
And, How to update the delivery with the HU information?
Was able to get the Handling Unit number through FM V51P_FIND_HEADER given the packaging Material number.
Regards,
Raj

Hi Rajasekhar,
I have mailed you the document on Handling Units.
To create a Handling Unit you need to use the following BAPI Functional Module
BAPI_HU_CREATE
check the following Documentation:
FU BAPI_HU_CREATE
Text
Create Handling Unit with Items
Functionality
You can use this method to create non-assigned handling units without stock information. These handling units may also be created with items, if you like. Serial numbers can also be included for each handling-unit item at this point.
You can also create nested handling units by accessing this method more than once.
Example
Example 1:
Creating a non-assigned handling unit with packaging material PALLET with a "Planned HU" physical status:
HEADERPROPOSAL: pack_mat = 'PALETTE'
 hu_status_init = 'A'.
Example 2:
Following access of the above method (example 1), the return parameter HUKEY returns the ID of the handling unit that was created in the KEY = ID1 field. To pack the handling unit that was just created in another handling unit, call up the BAPI_HU_CREATE method again with the following import parameters:
IHEADERPROPOSAL: pack_mat = 'CONTAINER'
ITEMPROPOS AL: hu_item_type = '3'
lower_level_key = ID1
You have now created a nested handling unit (a pallet inside a container).
I suppose this will solve your problem.Also go through the document.
Thanks & Regards

Who familiar with Handling Unit Management(HUM) module?

Hi,
It was said that if we active the HUM module in Clint level. Then the packing BOX number will not be allowed to be duplicated.
Whether this means that VEKP-EXIDV, this field will not be allowed to be duplicated??
Could anyone help my understanding on this? Thanks!
Thanks.

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.

How to treat packaging material at GR / no track

Guru ,
i have done GR for a material with a packaging material which consistutes a handling unit .
ie handling unit= materaial + packaging material .
when i did GRN , maetrial is shown in the storage location . fine .
where is the packaging material along the material gone . NO trace of it .
please help , my question is genuine .
manu

Hi Manu,
I assume your basic settings for handling units are ok (e.g. item category group settings in material master for packmat and to-be-packed material - e.g. MARA-VHART, MVKE-MTPOS, MARA-MAGRV).
What you have to do:
- SPRO > LE > SHipping > Deliveries > Define Item Category Determination for Deliveries - here you have to set: "Delivery type"-"Item category group"-"Usage"-"item category high level item"-Item category" combination (e.g.: LF-LEIH-PACK-<empty>-DLN)
- SPRO > LE > Shipping > Pack > Define Packaging Material Types - here you have to maintain Plant determination for HU" field for your packmat ("Plant proposed from the first item that was packed).
Please also ensure whether generation of packaging material type is allowed for the delivery type you use: SPRO > LE > Shipping > Deliveries > Delivery Type - here set "Gen. pack. matl. item"
If these settingsare ok > create the delivery in VL01N > pack the main item (VL02N > (menu) Edit > Pack). Whe you go back to overview you should see the newly generated item for your packaging material.
If you want the packaging material item automatically generated when you create the delivery, you have to:
- maintain packaging instruction for the to-be-packed item
- set auto pack indicator for delivery type (SPRO > LE > Shipping > Deliveries > Delivery Type - here set "Automatic packing")

Csaba
