Handling units are sorted out on u201Cpackaging material u201C

Hi All
I have a problem in VL02n (packing)
We used to load rakes (goods trains) in Plant daily
we have three platforms, When we are entering wagon number in Handling units field in tcode VL02N in the order where we keep the wagons in the platforms, but the wagons are sorted out on u201Cpackaging material u201C,as a result sequence of wagons are changed.
This creates problem in
(1) Getting productwise wagon details from Bagging Plant,
(2)Weighment of NBOX by Gypsum Cell and
(3) Uploading of wagon details in FOIS by Rly for preparation of RRs.
Pls suggest a solution which will not sort the wagons basing on u201Cpackaging material u201C
Thanks & Regards

Hi Devinc
You have found out the problem, the validation check is failing
saying Handling unit: unit of measure 'VolumeMeasure' in handling unit 32BM-00008 is invalid
Now please go back to this handling unit and check the UOM for volume
Is it properly defined same as internal unit stored in database(unit_int)??
for the packing material in product master of SNC
/sapapo/mat1
package data tab and UOM tab
Check whether note 1333374 is appicable ???
Best Regards
Vinod

Do you know if Apple are sorting out Bluetooth? I'll have no alternative but to switch from Apple if not - it will be cheaper than changing my car with Bluetooth built in

Does anyone know if Apple are sorting the Bluetooth problem out? I had hoped the latest update would do it - but not so. I now have a reat in-car phone system that's unusable with my latest phone. It's cheaper to switch phones than the car but I'd rather not if a fix is being worked on.

Check with the car manufacturer.
The iPhone 5 has BT 4.0 hardware which is activated in iOS 6. While BT 4.0 is compatible with BT 2.1 (which your car is probably using) by design it turns out that some BT 2.1 drivers have bugs which make them incompatible with BT 4.0.
Some audio manufacturers like Pioneer and some auto manufacturers have already issued firmware updates to correct this problem.
Since there is no error on Apple's side I doubt you will see any change coming from Apple

Handling Units are released once a PGI or PGR is done?

Hello Gurus,
would you please let me know if I have handling units assigned to an inbound delivery oroutbound delivery, once I post the goods receipt or the goods issue, this handling unit numbers should be released from this documents, I mean, this HUs numbers should be un-assigned to this documents?
Is there a process after the PGR or PGI that should un-assign this Handling Units from the SAP documents?
Thanks
J.Alvarado

Thanks very much for this additional information.
I checked my handling units and all are in status 12. But there are handling units in the system from 2008.
I ran the program RHU_AR_ARCHIVABILITY_CHECK and the result was that for all this HU from 2008, the reason they cannot be archived is the next:
Reason 01 : Movement status of the HU does not allow for archiving.
Reason 04: Delivery document not archived.
Do you have any clue of what should I check regarding reason 01?
Thanks

Handling Units Management with transporter's packing material

Dear Friends,
We need to configure HUM, however, the packaging material (in this case, containers) are owned by transporters. We do not want to maintain material master for this packaging material, as in that case, we would also have to maintain stocks for this material in the system. Please suggest how to achieve this.
Regards,
Abhishek.

Solved... Used a non stock material as packaging material.

Change Handling Unit Dimensions

Hi,
Is there any function module to change Handling Unit Dimensions (length, height and width).
BAPI_HU_HEADER_CHANGE does not help as this FM works only for non-assigned handling units where vpobj eq 12 ,05 and 06.
I need something for VPOBJ = 01.
Any idea. Thanks in advance.

Hi,
Why you need to change the dimension of Handling Unit ?
Dimension of Handling Units are derived from the packaging material types, if you have a packaging material type like Pallet of different dimension you should create a different packaging material type and use.
As this dimension of Handling Units is further required to calculate the Storage Bin Capacity in your warehouse.
Please check and confirm.

Harsh

Handling unit 1000001227 contains an item that cannot be assigned

THE HANDLING UNITS ARE CREATED WITH THE BATCH MANAGED MATERIAL HU02.
AT THE TIME OF CREATING DELIVERY,WHEN I GO TO SELECT THE HANDLING UNITS IN EDIT>PACK THE SYSTEM GIVES ME FOLLOWING WARNING,
Items subject to batch handling w/o batch assignment could not be packed
AND AFTER ENTERING THE SYSTEM TAKES ME TO THAT PACKING SCREEN AND WHEN I SELECT MY HANDLING UNIT THE SYSTEM GIVES ME THE FOLLOWING MESSAGE AND DOESN'T SELECT THE HANDLING UNIT,
Handling unit 1000001227 contains an item that cannot be assigned
ALTHOUGH THE SYSTEM SELECT THE HANDLING ONLY WHEN I MENTION THE ALL BATCHES,QUANTITY AND WAREHOUSE OF THE ITEM IN BATCH SPLIT.
ANY ANYONE TELL ME THAT HOW CAN I SELECT THE HANDLING UNITS WITH OUT MENTIONING ITS BATCHES IN THE BATCH SPLIT.
REGARDS:VIJAY KUMAR

Hi Vijay,
Based on the below error Items subject to batch handling w/o batch assignment could not be packed.
I think while creating the delivery check whether the system allocated the correct batch or not. If not created the batch then click on Batch split and Batch determination.
Then from the menu Batch determination -> W/o classification. Then system will show the all batches. Then select the coorect batch and copy the Qty.
Then try to do packing edit - > pack.
I think it will work fine.

Batch management & Handling unit management?

Dear Expert,
could you explain Batch management & Handling unit management?
thanks
saravanakumar.

<b>HU:</b>
The SAP HU is used for tracking the handling units used by the materials. Some common handling units are packagings materials like cartons, pallets etc.
In the SAP system, the handling unit (HU) expands on the shipping unit. Handling units can be nested and you can also 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 units path and development at any time.
Refer to : Logistics -> Central Functions -> Handling Unit Management
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 working without HU-managed storage locations, you can work with 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 made up of packed and non-packed materials within the same storage location are not supported. HUs can also be managed in interim storage types. Unpacking a material from a 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 now.
Please note that if you want to use 311 to move the material already in stock, but in a non HUM Storage Location and you want to transfer those materials into a HUM Storage Location 304. If this is the case you can use the transaction VLMOVE with the destination plant and storage location. Before that you have to create the HU with the transaction code HU02 Storage location: where the material is and the status: in stock.
Handling units are unique at client level in at least one system. Using an indicator at client level, 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 units 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 functionality. 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 packaging proposals defined in the system (from the packing instructions, for example).

Batch:
In various industries particularly the process industry you have to work with homogenous partial quantities of a material or product throughout the logistics quantity and value chain.
There are various reasons for this:
Legal requirements (for example, the guidelines set out by GMP (Good Manufacturing Practice) or regulations on hazardous material
Defect tracing, callback activities, and regression requirement
The need for differentiated quantity-and value-based Inventory Management (for example, due to heterogeneous yield/result qualities or varying constituents in Production.
Differences in usage and the monitoring thereof in materials planning in SD and Production.
Production or procedural requirements (for example, settlement of material quantities on the basis of different batch specifications).

Goods Receipt with respect to Handling Unit (Transaction u0096 MIGO)

Hi All,
A delivery is created for stock transport order for goods movement from Plant XXXX (Storage Location YYYY) to Plant XXXX (Storage Location ZZZZ).
Handling Units are packed on delivery and delivery is post goods issued from Plant XXXX (Storage Location ZZZZ).
While posting goods receipt (Transaction MIGO) without selecting Via Handling Units system populates the packaging material line item whereas when Via Handling Units is selected (in other words when tried to post Goods Receipt with respect to Handling Units) system doesnt populate the associated packaging material.
Requirement is to populate packaging material line item while posting Goods Receipt with respect to Handling Unit.
Plz guide me.

Hi Vatcan,
Chek the Inbound Delivery 1st weather you refer the right PO in it
You can also chek in PO i
1 Me23n Go to confirmation tab here you can see the Inbound delivery quantity
2 Chek which reference document you recived the goods, (i.e You recived the goods with reference to PO or Inbound delivery)
2 Coz if you refer the inbound delivery then syestem will deafult show the inbound quanity
And yes the actual quanity will update in inbound delivery if you refer the inbound deivery while reciveing the goods

HANDLING UNITS ERROR

Hi All
we are working in HU and SU managed warehouse scenario , where for packing artiacles we are using HU units for carton and SU for pallet , HU and SU configuration is carried out and Put away is perfect successful with out any error , but while doing outbound delivery against sales order , i am getting lot of errors with HU's , can any body tells me how to do the packing for outbounddelivery , and subsequent TO creation picking step for HU and SU managed warehouse,
thanks in advance

Hi Chunduri,
we also use SAP WM with Handling Units.
The process works as follows:
With confirmation of the TO (Transport Order), the picked Handling-Units are assigned to the outbound delivery.
Please check Customizing table-view V_T340DC.
Pick&Pack should be checked (=X).

i have gone thru help.sap but unable to understand concept

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.

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.

URGENT DELIVERY HANDLING UNIT STATUS ERROR

Hi Experts when i am doing PGI i am getting the following error and system is not allowing to do PGI
ERROR: When trying to read the status of an object (HU 210868), a system error occurred: For object number HU0000210868 there is no status object.

Hi Ramesh,
The material is having the Packing ( Handling Units).
In delivery please do the Packing for the Materials because they have linked with the Handling Units. and Also check the wheather the Handling Units are configured properly.
For your Information please go through the Below which will help you further.
The SAP Handling Unit Management system allows you to manage the entire movement of the handling units and the materials they contain rather than tracking each material individually.

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.
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.
Integration
Handling units can be used in all processes within the supply chain.

Outbound del: handling unit creates pack item

Hi,
I want in the delivery an extra line when I create a handling unit. Is this just one setting in customizing?
I know I have to create packing instructions and a verp material, but I want to know how to activate the extra 9000 line with
the packing material.
Thank you in advance,
eric.

Have you solved your problem yet?
If the message "Handling unit xxxxx contains an item that cannot be assigned" occurs,
First: you should check, that the picking storage location of the delivery is the same than the one, where the batches and Handling Units are located.
Second: check the amounts. Are you sure you have the right ones and you are not trying to pick kilograms "KG" when you should pick tons "TO"?
I had this message also several times and mostly it was due to the mistakes, described above.
