Handling Units and BADI_HU_AUTOPACK

We are setting up handling units(HU's) to be created at the time of Transfer Order(TO) creation. We have implemented the badi BADI_HU_AUTOPACK. What I am looking for is the way to link the handling unit number with the line items on the TO so that when the user goes to confirm the transfer order the HU's and the line items are aligned as desired. In the CT_ITEMS parameter I can see the handling units and the TO item data, but the hadling unit number has not yet been created. I would appreciate any input on this issue.

Those fields are filled. The HU is field EXIDV below, and the $0000000001 is like a placeholder, since the HU number has not yet been generated. My assumption was that this number to be created would be linked with the TO Item 000001. This is not the case when viewing the TO.
VENUM     C     10
EXIDV     C     20      $0000000001
VELIN     C     1      1
BELNR     C     10      1001003116
POSNR     N     6      000001
SUB_HU_VENUM     C     10
SUB_HU_EXIDV     C     20

Hello SAP Gurus,
I am not able to generate the output for Handling Unit and Picking List. Can you please help me in configuring the same.Can you please do let me know the steps to be completed for the output.
Thanks & Regards,
Sunil

Hi Sunil,
1. TCODE NACZ -> Create a procedure.
2. For this procedure you can define control sequence (Step, Control, Condition Type).
3. TCODE NACE -> Choose Application V6 (Handling Units).
4. Click on Output types.
5. You can create your own output type here.
6. For this output type you can give the access sequesnce.
7. For the same output type, in Processing Routines, give the Medium (Printer, EDI, etc.), Print Program Name, From Entry, Form name (SapScript Name). If it is a smartforms then specify the name in SmartFrom coulmn.
First 2 steps are depende on the requirement. You can go with standard settings.

Nested Handling Units and Confirmation of Transfer Order - Pick HU

Friends & Gurus,
I have nested (low level) handling units and when confirming I would like one of the nested HU to become the pick-HU. So far I haven't been able. The pick-HU is always generated with a new number and if I try to assign manually one of the nested HU the systems says that the HU is not assigned to the TO.
Any comments or ideas will be appreciated.

I fully agree and thanks for coming back.
I can unpack the nested HU and then create a TO and select the unpacked HU (now a SU) as a full HU removal. I believe this is not operative, the idea is the operator gets to the big box, chooses (scans) one of the small box (nested) and confirms the TO. If somebody back at the office has first to unpack one of the nested HU (how could he know which one if there are 30 of them? Which one is on the top?) it makes it unviable.
Are we on sync?

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.

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.

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.

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.

Assigning batch and handling unit tio an delivery

Hello friends,
Is there any FM/BAPI to update handling unit and batches to the delivery line item. for tcode VL02n
Thanks

unfortunaltey to archive boms you have to archive alle predecessing documents before you can start this one.
go to transaction SARA for object MM_SPSTOCK and click the button for 'Network Graphic'. it will tell you very colourfull what you have to do before attempting to archive boms.
same goes for handling units, object LE_HU. Check in SARA.

How to get Storage unit and Warehouse number from Handling Unit.

hello all,
I have Handling unit and Material in my program as an input, using these two fields i have to get corresponding storage unit and ware house number, to pick up transfer order.
Can anybody explain me who can we get Storage Unit and Warehouse Number from Handling Unit.
I know we can pull transfer order from table LTAK & LTAP using warehouse number.
But i dont understand how to get warehouse number from handling unit.
There is table LSUTO which has warehouse and Handling unit relation, but in our system there is not data maintained in that table. So, i was just wondering how can i get warehouse number from the given handling unit number.
please guide me
thanks

Hi ,
Check out the handling unit item table VEPO. You got storage location(LGORT) in it.

Serial numbers in Inbound delivery for Handling units

Hello Experts,
I have the following scenario:
Purchase order + Inbound delivery + GR
Inbound delivery is used because I need to create handling units, the materials included in these handling units are serialized and I am getting from the vendor an excel document with Handling unit number and the serial numbers included in each handling unit.
So I would like to use this document to do the packing process in my inbound delivery instead of manually typing the serial numbers.
What would be the best option to do this?
I also need to do the same for MIGO when no HU are needed.
Any Ideas??
Thanks a lot in advance for your comments.

Thanks a lot for your quick answer.
I would like to avoid creating my own Z transaction, is there any point in packing process where I can include some enhancement to upload the serial numbers, I gues the HU and packing process can be done manually by the user.
I was planning to enhance MIGO for the same process without handling units and I know that there a tab can be added at item level. But I do not know where or how to do it while packing.
Any suggestions?
Thanks a lot for your time!

Destructive Samples with Handling Units

Dear Experts,
I just wanted to check if there's anyone who has encountered destructive inspection for samples with Handling Units and how this was managed (via enhancements/operational workaround).
Based on SAP KBA 1771624, destructive sampling will not work for HU due to all or nothing approach. We are currently considering the following options but would like to get your insights on this in case there is a better approach for this problem.
1. During Goods Receipt, sample usage quantity will be packed in separate HU from the rest of the quantity. This option will work provided that sample usage quantity is known before quality inspection. e.g. I will recieve 100 pcs of MAT A, 15 pcs for sample usage will be packed under HU1 and the remaining 85 pcs under HU2. UD stock posting will be performed in 2 steps, 1st for GI to sample usage for HU2 and 2nd for transfer to unrestricted/blocked/etc. for HU2
2. Receive full quantity under 1 HU. Complete quality inspection (results recording, ud and stock posting). Unpack the material to be able to perform GI to sample for the quantity that was used for destructive inspection.

Hi Craig/Vignesh,
Thank you for your providing your inputs on this. I will take them into consideration.
I have another option to address this requirement, that is to (1) receive the material into non HU storage location (2) perform UD and stock posting, i.e. GI to sample usage and unrestricted-use/blocked stocks (3) transfer unrestricted-use/blocked stocks to HU managed location.
Do you think this will be more efficient operationally versus the other 2 options above?
I am trying to find the most effective way to address this requirement with minimum impact to Logistics operation. Most of our materials are managed in HU and destructive sampling is regularly done so users will be performing the steps in SAP a lot.

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).
