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")

Hello,
I would like to pack material in delivery (VL01N), but Iw ould like to be able to pick the pack material.
I think I have to do some customizing....but do someone know how to do this?
Thanks and regards

Hi,
I have gone through your question ,what i understood is that you are looking for the configuration of packing here it is,
1.IMG-LOGISTIC EXECUTION-SHIPPING-PACKING-Define number ranges for handling units-T.code-VNKP
2.IMG-LOGISTIC EXECUTION-SHIPPING-PACKING-Packing control by item category-Here you have to go to your item category of material and assign the packing control.
3.IMG-LOGISTIC EXECUTION-SHIPPING-PACKING-Define requirements for packing in the delivery-Here we have to specify the requirement for packing when there is credit block existed.routine 112=packing.check whether this routine is existed or not.
4.IMG-LOGISTIC EXECUTION-SHIPPING-PACKING-define packing material types-here we define packing material types ex:v010 by which we can control packing maerial outputdetermination procedure(v00001) shipping unitprocedures000001,out put type(0001)shipping unit here other assignments are there gp through with it.
5.IMG-LOGISTIC EXECUTION-SHIPPING-PACKING-Define material group for packaging materails-for packaging materials item category isVERP.we can assign material group for the shipping material in the shipping tab in MM01.the shipping material group also assigned to the standard item that are to be packed.
6.IMG-LOGISTIC EXECUTION-SHIPPING-PACKING-define allowed packing material-here we assign allowed packing material types for material grou[ of packing materials-go to new entries -choose our packing material group-assign one packaging material type
7.Go to MM01-create materialwith material type packing (verp),base unit measure ,material group,assign packaging matrial group,assign packing material type in sales general plant tab and save it.

Pricing of Packaging Material

Hi All,
I have a small query.
How come I will give a price to the packaging material?
During delivery packaging material is also going. So how i give price to the packaging material so that it will show in the pricing. How come a packaging material will be price relevant?
Regards
Ashis

Dear Ashis
I am sure, the cost of packaging material is based on per piece or per carton whatever you call.
So create a condition type in V/06. If you want, you can even copy PR00 and assign the same to your pricing procedure V/08.
In V/08, while defining the conditions, you should do in such a way that both your unit price + condition type for packaging are taken into consideration for excise duty.
Thanks

How to enter a returnable packaging material during inbound delivery?

Hi,
How do you add a returnable packaging material from vendor as a line item in the inbound delivery? When I try to add a LEIH type material as a line item in the inbound delivery (VL32N), the following error is displayed:
"No item category exists (Table T184L EL VERP ELP)"
Thanking you in advance,
Sreelakshmi

HI.
Please reffer the below link.
ERROR : No item category exists (Table T184L LB VERP )
Error while creating I/B delivery: No item category exists (Table T184L EL)
1) EL = is the delivery type you are using for Returns to Vendors
2) VERP = is the Item Category Group in the material master of
3) ELP= Item Usage
You have to add the missing configuration as follow:
IMGLogistics ExecutionShippingDeliveriesDefine Item Category
Determination in Deliveries(Transaction 0184).
Create a new entry or copy from an existing one for VERP. NOTE: The Delivery Item Category RLLN is the standard defined by SAP, be
sure you enter the one defined in you company.
Thanking you

How to configure this material type We will treat it as consumable goods?

Dear Experts,
How to create new material type which we will treat as consumable goods?
Also, for all purchase, we want to have the GR Non-valuated checked so that the actual cost will not have effect after goods receipt but will be effective when the invoice has been entered. No inventory will be used. We will treat it as other consumable goods.
For GR Non-valuated, it means the actual cost will not happen in goods receipt only.
we will create po and gr and invoice and payment. can you tell me what we have to pay attention to ?
Best Regards,
Merry

you can use material type UNBW, because its having non valuted ticket and quantity updation also not there, and you can do PO, GR, Invoice and payment as a normal process, but the only difference is when you do GR the value of that GR is immediately charge out to an account or cost center including quantity. but you will do the MIRO to clear GR/IR account.

No item generated for packaging material in delivery - packing (how?)

Hi all,
I am trying to customize packing for deliveries. I would like to have the packaging material as a line item in the delivery. I know this is possible but I can't seem to make it happen.
I have already ticked "Gen. pack.matl item" in my delivery type. Also, I have selected in the packaging type "B Item generation in first packed delivery" for "generatedlvItms" option.
Now, in the delivery after I packed the items, no line item was generated in the delivery for the packaging material. The "No. of Packages" in item overview is correct and the status is "C" completely packed. Btw, I am using manual packing here.
Is there some more configurations I missed here?
Thanks in advance for all your help.
Edited by: Ritchie Caleb Chua on Aug 9, 2011 3:53 AM

I assume that your basic HU configuration and master data have to be ok because you are able to pack your goods.
1) Are you able to add your item w/o HUM (=not by creating a HU, just adding the material as a simple item) to the delivery? /For this you need define a record in T184L (where usage "PACK" is not there)/.
If you are able it means that e.g. your delivery copy control settings are ok (V_TVCPLAK; delivery type: LF and sales doc type: DL --> HUPM/DLN item categories in your case)
2) If you are able to
- create the handling unit manually in the delivery
- add the packing item to the delivery (w/o HUM) and also have the T184L with usage "PACK"
- item generation is maintained for your packing material time "A" or "B" in field V_TVTY-KZPGN
- plant determination for packing material type ("A" or "B" in field V_TVTY-WERFD)
it should work in my opinion (for delivery type LF).

Hi,
In T.code: OMS2, you can get standard material type list.VERP is the standard material type for packing material.You can copy VERP and rename to ur material type( as it is ur business requriement or else u can use same VERP)
What is the use of material type here?
With the help of ur Material Type , u can craete material like The material type,will be used while defining the material
master.At that time,in Tcode:MM01,first screen we need to
mention,(material type)it show the nature of material
ex:-engineering product,finished products,semifinished
product,etc.,
It also play vital role on material numbering,material type in comination with plant & valuation class, play vital role in inventory & accoputning.
To Create Material,use t. Code: MM01,
Step-1
Enter Material Code: ( example-Polythene Bag, If External Number Range or leave it blnak)
Enter Industry Sector: ...................
Enter Material Type: ..........................(VERP- Packing)
Step-2
Select
Views you required( like eample:basic data-1, like basic data-2,purachsing, purchase order text,General plant data, accounting-1, accounting-2 etc)
Step-3
Enter Plant,

{{{Enter Sales organization & Distribution channel(if sales view selected)}}}
Step-4
You will have views like (example-1, basic data, enter Base unit of measure, material group and other details as required field,example-2,Accounting data, enter valuation class, price control; S or V & price)

Error in update of packaging material data in mat. master

Hi all ,
Actually , when I was going to update the packaging material information in material master , that time noticed whole parameters - blank spaces / attributes of the packaging material data area is not showing . Why it behaves as ? ...
regards
arghya

This just tells me that you do not even know the basics of a material type.
SAP does not check the material type name, VERP and ROH is nothing else than a couple characters from the alphabet (in German language they even make some sense). You can create your own material type HUXX for handling units and if it is correctly setup then it will work.
How long do you consider yourself as a newcomer? you have registered in 2010. You started with SD, then MM (were all your questions got rejected because you failed to search) and now Logistics Execution (by the way I am moderator here too). And everywhere you were told to use Google to search prior to posting. Spend more time to increase the skills on searching, this gets you more benefits on the long run.
And in the 5th year with SAP and SCN you should at least know how to report an issue. If you have an error message, then tell the exact message along with the message number. Saying the setup is properly and then complaining that the system is asking for something else does not help to solve the issue, as it it just reflects your assumption but does not tell any facts.
If everything would be properly setup, then you would not have an issue. Does that sound logical?
Start from wikis like that Logistics General Handling Unit Introduction - ERP SCM - SCN Wiki
or from help.sap.com, just search with this string in google: sap best practices handling unit management

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:

Hello Srinivas,
Hello Mr. Adrift,
Firstly, I like my original name ;-).
Thanks for udpates.
Can you brief me various interactions of RF in warehouse management
Benefits of the Integrated RF Solution
By integrating RF devices into the SAP System, users can realize significant cost savings and productivity gains in many areas of information processing. The following are just a few of the benefits that RF computing with the SAP System has to offer:
Extended Usability
With the integrated RF connection, previously unreachable users can now take advantage of the Logistics Execution functions. This new access expands the availability of SAP applications throughout the warehouses, distribution centers, and shipping and receiving docks.
Increased Accuracy
Each data entry error is recognized immediately by the SAP System. RF computing devices thus enhance the quality of data in the system.
Data Availability
Timely entry of information into the SAP System and direct access to accurate business data lead to more efficient operational decisions. This increases the information value and speeds up the decision-making process through the continuous link between front-line and back-office applications.
Reduced Training Requirement
RF-enabling applications minimize the need for training. RF devices are front-end devices, that is, automated data-entry devices linked to the SAP System. Consequently, the user can become productive in a short period of time and with minimal training. This is especially important for warehouses that frequently use temporary staff during peak periods.
