HU 6000021947 is nested. Withdrawal of handling units must be entered

HI All,
I want to confirm transfer order, but there is a error log "HU 6000021947 is nested. Withdrawal of handling units must be entered ". But when HU 6000021947 entered there is another error log "HU 6000021947 does not contain any available stock for material FAGE03MI".
What should i do ??
Thanks & Regards,
Saiful arif

Hello,
you should create pick HU - you have pack button in entry screen of transaction LT12.
New created pick HU must be entered in destination HU field.
Refer to SAP help:
"Partial quantities (materials or lower-level HUs) are transferred to a picking container such as a cart or container tub. This picking container, in turn, represents a handling unit, the pick handling-unit (HU). Handling units and materials can be picked and packed in one step (pick-and-pack procedure)."

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?

Handling Unit Block and Unblock

Hi,
I have requirement to block and unblock Handling Unit or Storage Unit in warehouse management. How to block and unblock the
Handling Unit with the function module and what is the table where I can see the blocking status of
the Handling Unit .
I tried a lot before posting here with no luck.
Thanks...

Dear Sridhar,
I hope I get you right.
To change the status of handling unit to blocked stock, do the following:
- transaction code VLMOVE
- above select procedure "0023" --> Posting chance from unrestricted use stock to blocked stock (movement type 344)
- then enter handling unit number
- press enter --> you get new line item with this HU number below
- select this new line item --> post document
- on the next screen you get the number of material document just created
- now the handling unit is blocked
- to unblock it later - use another VLMOVE procedure
Table where you can see this status:
- check table LQUA (warehouse quants)
- enter the WH number and quant number (you get this one if you check details of the quant in bin) --> you get record for exactly this handling unit
- see field LQUA-BESTQ (equals S - blocked stock)
Hope this will be of any use.

Primoz

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.

VLMOVE 321 with nested Handling Unit

Hi
I have the following situation:
- Handling Unit active
- WM active (with Storage Unit)
- QM not active
I have nested HUs:
.1         HU001
...2       HU002
......3    Material A, Batch B1, quantity 10 pcs in inspection stock
...2       HU003
......3    Material A, Batch B2, quantity 20 pcs in inspection stock
In WM, I have only HU001.
The first question is: Is possible to manage lower-level HU as Storage Unit in WM? I mean, can I have HU002 and HU003 as storage unit number instead of HU001 in WM?
The second is: when I try to post HU002 to unrestricted-use stock (with VLMOVE 321), SAP posts the higher HU in unrestricted-use stock, changing also the stock of HU003 (Material A Batch B2).
I don't want it because Batch B2 isn't inspected!!
I think that I could unpack HU001, posting change to HU002 and then repack, but this process is very time expensive and it should be done automatically by interface from an external LIMS.
Have you got any idea?
If I activate QM-IDI interface (with inspection lots), could it be possible?
many thanks
mic

hi guys
Iu2018ve met this problem
*1 we just manage HU in highest level in WM
you just select the lower-level HU when you confirm TO. we don't need to unpack.
i just know this. share with you.
hope help to you.

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).

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.

LT12: how to manipulate the handling unit

Dear all,
This is my first message on this forum and I've seen many bright lights on this forum so I have high hopes of your response to my question : )
When I want to confirm a transfer order with trx LT12, 2 Handling Units (HU) are assigned (which can be seen in the lower part of the screen). I have 2 items in my active worklist (different storage units) and can modify some fields, including the HU. For some reason both items have the same HU (the upper one of the assigned HU). I would like the first item to have the first HU and the second item to have the second HU.
My question is simple (and I had thought this would be possible but I've tried a LOT and did not succeed, hence my cry for help here): is there a possibility to manipulate the Handling Unit before it is shown on the screen? I did not seem to find a suitable BADI/user exit.
Any help would be greatly appreciated. Thanks in advance for your efforts!
With kind regards,
Roel van den Berge

Dear Roel van den Berge
if iam not wrong you can achieve the same by TO split
Transfer Order Split
Use
To optimize processes in the warehouse, it often makes sense to split up putaways and stock removals into smaller packets according to certain criteria. In doing so, it is important, for example, to:
     Distribute the workload equally amongst the warehouse workers
     Optimize stock movements in the warehouse according to certain criteria.
The transfer order (TO) represents a work package and determines the actual workload for a putaway or stock removal. It can therefore make sense to split a single, extensive transfer order into several smaller transfer orders. During the TO split, the system creates several smaller packets from one large one.
During the TO split, the TO items are divided up between one or more TOs. A TO split does not however mean that the system divides individual items of a TO into smaller TO items.
Prerequisites
1.     You define the criteria according to which the TO split is to occur in the Customizing for Warehouse Management under Activities  Transfers  Processing Performance Data/TO Split  Define Profiles.
a.     To define a TO sort profile, choose Sort profile for TO splitting.
In the sort profile for the TO, you define the criteria according to which you want to sort the items in a transfer order before the actual split.
For each of these sort criteria, you define whether the system is to sort the transfer order items in ascending or descending order.
Before the actual dynamic TO split, you must sort the corresponding TO according to certain criteria. By sorting the TO items, you ensure that the TO split is sensibly executed and that no nonsensical TO splits occur.
b.     To define a TO split profile, choose Profile for Transfer Order Splitting.
c.     You assign your sort profile to the TO split profile by entering it in the field Sort profile.
2.     You determine when the TO split should take place in the Customizing for warehouse management under Activities  Transfers  Processing Performance Data/TO Split  Control for Performance Data Processing/Define TO Split.
You also assign a key to the TO split profile, consisting of a warehouse number, movement type, source storage type and destination storage type.
Features
Standard Sorting of TO Items
Control of the TO split occurs on the basis of the sort. The system defines the sequence of the items in the transfer order before the actual TO split via the sort, so that the sequence of the TO items corresponds to an optimal sort sequence for later processing.
Since the system always executes the forced split of the transfer order items according to the forced split criteria, the system always sorts the TO items in the standard sort in accordance with the forced split criteria in the order that the forced split criteria are processed.
Forced Split
Even if you have not set any user-defined criteria for the TO split, the system always executes a TO split according to the following forced split criteria:
     Planned data is required
The TO split first divides the TO items for which planned data creation is required, from the TO items for which planned data creation is not required.
The TO split also causes a further division for all TO items with planned data creation, according to the source storage type and destination storage area criteria.
     Per split profile
As soon as TO items differ from one another in the split profile to which they are assigned, a TO split occurs according to the split profile criterion.
     Per performance data profile
As soon as TO items differ from one another in the performance data profile to which they are assigned, a TO split occurs according to the performance data profile criterion.
     Per staging area
The TO split divides the TO items according to the staging zone to which they are assigned.
     According to mixed pallets
The TO split then separates the TO items containing mixed pallets from those containing no mixed pallets.
The TO split also creates a further division of all TO items with mixed pallets according to the storage unit that is to be moved.
     According to queue
The TO split divides the TO items according to the queue that these TO items are assigned to.
If you work with queues, you can assign each work area to its own printer. That way, all materials that are to be processed in a specific area can be combined in one list and printed on the assigned printer.
     According to handling unit items
The TO split then separates the TO items containing handling units from those containing no handling units.
     Separate confirmation of the withdrawal step and the transfer step is necessary
The TO split divides the TO items with split confirmation from TO items for which split confirmation is not planned.
The system transfers the information on the forced split to the header via the transfer orders, which are created as a result of the TO split.
The forced split criteria are obligatory. You cannot influence the forced split via the user exit. The system does not adopt any changes to the forced split criteria.
Dynamic Sorting
Before you can execute a dynamic TO split controlled via the Customizing settings, the TO items should be sorted according to the split criteria. In doing so, you ensure that the TO split is sensibly executed and that no nonsensical TO splits occur.
You can define the sequence of all the storage bins in the warehouse based on a specific sequence and sort the TO items according to this sequence. The system sorts according to the Sequence indicator in the warehouse master data.
Dynamic Split
You can define several criteria for the TO split in the Customizing for Warehouse Management.
     Split according to movement unit
On the basis of this split criterion, you create a new TO for each movement unit. In doing so, you create TOs with one item for exactly one movement unit.
You use this split, for example, during goods receipt when a whole pallet is moved from the GR area into the warehouse.
You define the split according to movement unit in the Customizing for Warehouse Management under Activities  Transfers  Processing Performance Data/TO Split  Define Profiles  Profile for performance data with the indicator Split single TO.
     Split according to picking area
You divide up the items to be picked according to the areas of responsibility of the picker.
     Split according to target times in the TO
You determine, for example, how long the picking for a transfer order is allowed to take.
     Split according to scope (weight or volume)
You determine the total weight or volume that a transfer order can cover for putaway or stock removal.
Note that the volume is calculated based on the alternative unit of measure. A box with 10 bottles, for example, can have a different volume than 10 times the volume of one bottle. If the volume for the alternative unit of measure has not been defined in the material master record, the system uses the volume from the base unit of measure for its calculation.
Activities
Note that you have no influence over the TO split according to forced split criteria.
You can, however, define your own criteria for a dynamic TO split via user exit MWMTO012. For more information, see the system documentation on this user exit

Physical inventory with and without handling unit managment

Hello all,
I would like to know what is the difference between physical inventory with and without handling unit management.
Pl. advise.
Thanks,
Maxx

Assuming you are referring to WM inventory, it is very similar. Inventory is conducted at the SU level in WM if you are HU managed. One of the most widely known issues is the lack of ability to post differences of nested HUs at the WM level. If you are not using nested HUs, the process is the same as storage unit management without handling unit management.

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 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 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).

Handling unit(lengthy question please take patience to reply)

hi SAP SD guys,
                           can any body explains me about handling unit? i read SAP library according to my knowledge handling unit isa single variety material items+ packing material is it true. but SAP library is saying " 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. "my doubt is here is whether handling unit consists of single variety material or it may consists of differrent materials

hi,
a HU consists of a packaging material and the goods contained therein. HUs can be nested, that means you can create new HUs from several existing HUs, as often you want.
HU = packaging material + goods contained therein
f.e.
HU1 = 3 apples            packed in 1 box
HU2 = 2 apples            packed in 1 box
HU3 = 4 carrots           packed in 1 box
(you can pack your boxes with the fruits and vegetables on 1 pallet:)
HU4 = HU1, HU2, HU3 packed on 1 pallet
in this case you do the picking and movements with the highest HU level, that means you pick and move HU4 in the example
I hope this helps.
regards,
Ely

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
