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.

Handling unit configuration

What exactly goes into handling unit configuration? how are they recognized in both shipment and delivery documents?

please go through this link.

Handling unit process step by step

Dear All,
We intend to use handling unit functionality.
Our FG let's say FG001 gets packed in container.
I have mapped this as following.
I have created 'Container' as code with material type VERP- Packaging Material. Maintained the required data in Sales org. tab page.
I have created packing instruction in POP1 with container as packing material & FG001 as material.
I have maintained the determination record in POF1 (Frankly I didn't understand the relevance of this step, but did cos has been suggested in several threads.)
Now I have to perform the packing process of FG001 in HU02.
But system is throwing me an error as 'No packing instruction could be found for material FG001', message no. VHUPD002.
I have stuck up there. Kind request you to help me in this, regarding any configuration & processing step, if I am missing.
Also I am few questions to get clear.
1. How to maintain the batch no. of packing material 'Container' while creating/ generating HU as my packing material is batch managed, and need to have information in which HU the batch of packing material is utilized.
2. What happens to the stock statement (MMBE)of both the materials i.e. FG001 & Container when those are get packed i.e. HU created/ generated.
Please respond urgently.
Timely answers will be rewarded.
Mimiri

VS,
Thanks once again.
You got it right. I was confused as I was unable to understand why packing material is not moving along with the FG material.
Moreover our packing material is container. Once it is packed container moves from plant to plant & then to final destination.
As we have to track the movement of the container, it was necessary for us to the have stock statement.
I am still surprised why standard SAP doesn't support the movement of the packing material along with the contents i.e. FG?
Now to tackle this, we have thought of a way out.
We have maintained two material codes for container. one is dummy container and second is main container for which we have to track the goods movement. Both will be having same material type as VERP but only difference is later won't be having packing material type in sales view. So it will act as normal material.
While creating HU with HU02, both the materials with quantities will be entered in pack material section. Dummy packing material serve as packing material. Here my question is what is HU creation & HU generation? Because system is throwing me an error while generation as 'no packing instruction are there for the material although I have defined determination source in POF1 but when I save the HU with out generating it, system doesn't throw this error
The HU is getting created but I am unable to enter that HU number in VL01N while creating the delivery. How to do that?

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.

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.

Handling Unit label (V6) - multiple printers configuration

I would like to print the handling unit label (V6) in multiple printers. Currently the condition records are set to plant/Packaging material combination with printing in one printer. I would like to have the ability to print to different printer in HU02 t-code based on userID. Can I configure it based on storage location or userid? Thank you.

Are you using WM+HUM or only IM+HUM?
In OMJ3 you can define printer by Storage Location,
in OMLV you can defin printer by WM organizational levels (storage types), movement type etc.
You can use NACE t-code to set the output type you want in addition to MDoc printout.
Can you explain your config, when are you printing your HUs at the moment?

Custom output type configuration for Handling units

All, Can any one guide me how to configure AZ output types for handling units? My scenario is as follows.
To print a new label for the handling units as soon as the packing happens. User should be able to see this new custom output type in VLO2N/VL03N. Also user can print the labels thru VL74 by inputting the custom output type and processing mode.
For this I did the following.
Created a new custom output type in "NACE" under the application "V6 - Handling Units". And assigned print program and smart form for this output types. After this I am able to see the output types in VL74, when I did F4 on output type field. But I am not able to see the new output type in VL02N/VL03N.
Can anybody tell me what needs to be done to get the new output type in VL02N/VL03N.
Thanks in advance.

for Delivery , Application is V2.

Configuration of external handling unit number range

Hello everyone,
I am working on a project that includes receiving of handling units from outside of our SAP system in EAN128 format, and am running into some challenges in setting up an appropriate external handling unit number range. The process will involve creation of an inbound delivery from an advance ship notice, with the delivery to then be packed based upon handling unit information in the ASN. I have set up an external number range interval in the number range object that is being used for generation of internal handling unit numbers, with the external interval being outside the range of the existing internal intervals. When the ASN is posted, the inbound delivery is created but cannot be packed (status 52), and I get a message stating "The check digit of SSCC 10000001000001648 is incorrect. 5 is correct" (just using this number as an example). In this case, the HU number actually had a leading zero, and changing the sample HU to start with a 5 results in the same message but stating that 0 is correct, which is kind of maddening. The bottom line is that I have not configured an external number range before for handling units and am clearly missing something here. Has somebody set this up successfully and can share your experience, or can point me to some good documentation? I am searching OSS, the Business Process Expert Community, and the overall web in general and am not finding any relevant information.

Per your info,
in std, You cant maintain HU number ranges with respect to year.
Still if you want to maintain, You have to use Userexit for Number ranges.
Generally, all sales documents number ranges are not year specific . ONly FI documents are year specific.
Why you want to have Year specific number ranges for HU's? - It is nothing to do with Year.
Convince your client, This year dependant HU number ranges doesnt carry any value addition. Still client insists, only way to achieve this is "USEREXIT_NUMBER_RANGE"
hope it helps

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?

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).
Best Regards,
Juergen

Handling unit output determination questions

I have configured a new output type for a custom label we need to implement for handling units.   It is assigned as V6, for Ship-to Party/Shipping Material.
In VL01N or VL02N, I am able to create the handling units and pack the delivery line item materials into them.
I am able to manually assign the output type to the handling unit in VL01N/VL02N, but have not been successful in getting the output type to auto populate. I have verified that it is not populated after packing the HU and saving from VL01N, or when doing from VL02N, or after PGI.
I have been searching the forums and have not found the answers I need.
1. Is it possible for the output type to automatically populate for a handling unit? If so, at what point should this happen? I would think based on how our custom label output types for delivery documents behave, it would assign after save from either VL01N or VL02N.
2. When I create the HU, I specify a VERP packaging material number that represents the carton in order to create the HU. I do not have the material on the sales order or delivery as a line-item, and I am not getting any error messages indicating that it should be.
If this should work the way we expect it to, any suggestions on what I have overlooked that would prevent my output type from automatically assigning?
Thanks in advance for your help.
Dave

Hi Joan,
Thank you for your answers. They were most helpful. I was finally able to get the new Output Type to assign after I created the HU's and saved the delivery.
Hopefully you won't mind if I ask some related questions.
1. If I went to VL02N for a delivery where I had already created the handling unit, it did not automatically get the Output Type assigned when I saved. (Like it does for our delivery based labels when I add a user in NACE that previously wasn't identified to get the label.)   Is this the normal behavior for HU-based output or am I still missing something in my setup?
2. I did the VHAR step and specified both the Output Determination Procedure and the Output Type of my new label,as suggested.   This did work once I finally tested by creating a new HU for a delivery, rather than checking an existing delivery/HU. Is entering the Output Type here critical? If another customer has a different label format, I think assigning the Output Type here this will cause a problem for us. (I haven't had a chance to change the config to remove this and see if the Output assigns based on references elsewhere, now that I know it seems to assign only when the HU is initially created.)
Thanks again!
Dave

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
