HU - handling unit is currently part of an outbound delivery

Hello Experts,
i need to create an HU assigned to an outbound delivery.
I tried with function L_TO_PICKHU_ASSIGN, this function create the HU not assigned therefore VEKP-VBOBJ = 12.
What i need is an HU with VEKP-VPOBJ = 01 - The handling unit is currently part of an outbound delivery .
Do you know how can i fix this problem??
Thanks in advance
Boris Besana

Boris,
Did you do LH01 and assign a pick-HU to the pick-TO for the outbound delivery (unless auto pickHU assignment is configed in IMG)?
Usually when you confirm the pick TO the pick HU assigned to the TO get assigned to the Outbound Delivery which references the TO, resulting in VEKP-VPOBJ = 01.
If PGI hasn't done, have you tried returning the stock via LT0G (Return Transfer for OD) to return the stock/HU?

Handling Unit Link (VEKP-EXIDV) in inbound/outbound delivery

Hello,
I need to code the automation of logical pick and pack tasks in the trading company such that the following fields of the outbound delivery are automatically populated based on the corresponding fields from the inbound delivery:
1.) Pick Quantity (LIPSD-PIKMG) comes from the pick quantity from inbound delivery to trading company
2.) Batch Number (LIPS-CHARG) comes from the batch from inbound delivery to trading company
3.) Handling Units (VEKP-EXIDV) comes from the handling units from the inbound delivery to trading company.
I've found a way to link the outbound to it's corresponding inbound delivery through table EKES (link of stock transfer order number to the inbound delivery), however I could not find the link of the stock transfer order to the handling units (VEKP-EXIDV).
Any idea on this?
Thanks.
Sincerely,
Ice

//What I found was that VBFA-VBELN = VEKP-VENUM, given that VBFA-VEBELV = inbound directory (LIKP-VBELN) and VBFA-VBTYP_N = 'X' (handling unit).
From that link I was able to get the external handling units (VEKP-EXIDV) since the key VENUM has been identified.
During the pick and pack i have to link the LIKP+LIPS and VEKP for handling unit and internal identification number.
VBFA is for sales document flow which is helpful for forward and reverse navigation to itdentify the documents .
Inputs for the Feed has to be from LIKP / LIPS and VEKP
Please refer to tcode VL02N and in here check Packing options with all the subscreens of Packing Hu's and Single entry .

Handling unit preventing deletion of inbound delivery

Hello,
Our Decentralized WMS had a glitch in the system that left several
idocs queued to create inbound deliveries. These deliveries have
associated handling units which were placed from the outbound delivery
to the inbound. Before the inbound deliveries could be created via XI,
users created manual inbound deliveries against the POs and PGRed.
When the Decent WMS glitch was addressed, the IDOCs submitted were
processed, creating inbounds with handling units that were completely
packed.
So our system contains 2 inbounds for a po. We would like to delete the one with with the handling unit, but it's not that simple.
To address this issue, it is necessary to remove the handling units,
but this isn't possible. We receive an error message, unable to change.
I've attempted to PGR the delivery but this isn't possble either.
the following error message is received.
MSSA-SATRA exceeded by 2 EA : 10004063 AA26 0001 E
How can these Handling units be deleted to allow the associated inbound
deliveries to be deleted as well?
Is there a program to modify the status of the handling unit? I do not
want to perform any table editing or goods movements unless there are
no other alternatives

Unpack Items in Handling Units

Hi,
Is there any function modules or BAPI that can be used to unpack items in Handling Units that have been assigned to Outbound Delivery.
Most of the FMs like BAPI_HU_UNPACK, HU_PACKING_AND_UNPACKING supports only unassigned HUs.
Standard Transaction that can be used to unpack is VL02N and HUPAST.
Your response much appreciated. Thanks.

Update Handling units

Hi,
I need to update the handling units (weight and dimensions) for the outbound delivery. Please suggest how can i update it.
Thanks

Hi,
Iam using R/3 4.7 version. In the BAPI_SHIPMENT_CHANGE - source code it was mentioned to not to use it as its not offically released.
BAPI_HU_CHANGE_HEADER - does not work for my requirement as its process only if the object key is "1 or 6 or 12". And where as my objectkey will be "4 i.e. packing".
I searched few other function modules also like HU_HEADER_CHANGE and V51F_HU_HEADER_CHANGE but its showing some error to me.
I need to update the existing record in VEKP table (shipment header details) and iam only having the shipment number. Updating the fields (Weight and length, width, height).
Please let me know, if u have any idea for updating the handling unit.
Thanks

"Current assignment" field missing in Handling Unit status tab

Our scenario is as below:
1. STO created and outbound deliveries generated
2. Deliveries are assigned to shipment
3. Packing is done using RF transaction
In the normal scenario, the HU status tab would show the outbound delivery number in the current assignment tab. But for some Handling Units, the current assignment field shows blank. Also, the contents tab shows only the delivery line item number and not the delivery number. We have also noticed that the problem delivery line items have been packed in 2 different Handling Units, each containing the full delivery line item quantity. (not sure how this is possible). One of the HU is displayed correctly but the other one has the missing delivery number issue.
Has anyone encountered such a scenario? How is the system allowing to pack the same delivery item quantity in 2 different Handling Units? Any suggestions in this regard would be very helpful.

Hi,
Thank you very much...
i have another doubt.....
i am unable to understand determination of packing instructions.
where it is linking i am confused.
we are assigning the determination procedure in the T.code
OVHU2.(Maintain Packing Transaction Profile in IMG).
my doubt is where we are assigning this Transaction Profile in Handling Units.
Please help me....

Re-using Handling unit. Inbound deliver has unpacked materials

Dear All
We're running the process that inbound delivery is created automatically once goods issue for outbound delivery is done.
We're also running the process when handling units created in outbound delivery are re-used in Inbound delivery.
The problem we've got is that from time to time we have situation when part of materials in inbound Delivery are unpacked, while these materials were packed in handling units. There are no errors appear, and Inbound Delivery is created, but materials are unpacked.
In humo for such handling units, which are not created in Inbound Delivery i can see that the status was not updated and still remains "LOAD PHEX WHSE" and such HUs are assigned to plant where goods issue was done.
Whille for handling units which were created in Inbound Delivery the status is updated to "PHEX" and HUs are assigned to recieving plant.
Please advise if you have any idea on the root cause and solution.
Thanks in advance.
Best Regards
Andrey

HI Andrey,
Wanted to know if you have recd the solution for this old thread. We arefacing a similar kind of problem wherein we get the status as 0020 when we pack for Returns Delivery. This status is like the Goods are already posted and hence we cant do PGR.
Please suggest.

Handling Unit Managment Process flow

Hi all,
I am implementing Handling Unit Management currently. I am looking for; how does the business process flow change once HUM is activated.
So far, I got an idea:
GR process:
Purchase Order -> Goods Receipt (MIGO) -> ASN(Inbound Delivery) -> Pack & Create Handling Unit -> Post Goods Receipt(via the Inbound Delivery)
GI process:
Sales Order -> Outbound Delivery ->Pick & Pack(Handling Unit) -> Goods Issue
Please let me know if i am correct in my assumption.
Also, I would like to know how the stock is transferred from the stock stored in HU's in the warehouse to the stock which is to be delivered.
For example :
I store a material X in HU's in multiples of 500. I have to deliver to a customer around 100 pieces of X.
How do I go about unpacking the HU of 500, then creating 2 HU's (one with 400 pieces to be stored back in the warehouse, and the other HU of 100 pieces for the customer.)
Is it possible to do so ?
Or I need to create a separate storage location where I have to keep the partial unpacked 400 pieces ?
Anyone's help will be appreciated in this matter.
Thanks,
Shefali

Handling Units Configuration Steps

Can anybody please send me the step by step configuration steps for Handling Unit.
Thanks in Advace for your help.
SUNIL

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 Number against each PO Number/Sales Order

Dear All,
I have a query regarding identification of Handling Unit/s Number/s (Handling Unit Management) against each PO Number in Sales Order. E.g. I created 2 Sales Order with 5 and 7 line items respectively. Now I combine them into one Delivery which becomes as 12 Line items. Now against each PO Number/Sales Order line items I have done multilevel packing, similarly I have done this for 2nd PO Number/Sales Order line items while creating Outbound Delivery.
As per my client's requirement, he wants to print the Handling Unit Number as per Sales Order PO Number. I have checked VEKP and VEPO where I am not able to segregate the Handling Unit Number against each Sales Order/PO Number. Please find below Screen Shot.
Please help me out.
Regards:
Abhishek

Hello,
I'm not sure to understand completely your requirement.
Anyway in VBFA you should have the complete flow of the documents:
enter in VBFA with
"Follow-on doc." (VBELN) = your HU number
"Subs.doc.categ." (VBTYP_N) = 'X - Handling unit
"Prec.doc.categ." (VBTYP_V) = 'J - Delivery"
In this way for each Handling Unit you'll get the delivery number and item, and from that you can branch to the corresponding Sales Order item number and get the customer's PO number.
On top of that, in table VEPO you have the reference to Delivery number and item. The only thing you need is one more step using VBFA again, to get from the delivery and item numer, the corresponding Sales Order number and item.
Best regards,
Andrea

Same Handling Unit in Return delivery

we have a scenario which we are implementing for SAP's client DHL.
The scenario is as follows:
1. We have done the GI for the handling units.
2. And we want to take the same handling units back.
In order to do so, what we do
1. We create a return order with original sales order
2. This eventually creates a return delivery but does not get the handling units assigned.
3. Hence the delivery needs to be packed with the same HU's with which the goods have been issued.
Anyone has faced the issue earlier or any one aware of any Bapi or functional modules which will allow them to pack with the same HU.
Thanks in advance
Ajay.

It's seems that you faced it a few years ago, could you please post what you did?
Thanks

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.

Handling Unit Number range per delivery.

Dear All,
Please guide me how we can configure Handling Unit number ranges so that for each delivery document, Handling numbers should be started from 01.
Thanx in advance.
Anup

Dear Reazuddin,
Thanks for your early response.
As per standard SAP functionality, we assign a number range to handling units and system automatically assigns serial numbers to each handling unit.
But My requirement is suppose I am packing materials in a delivery document, then the handling numbers of these packs should start from 1,2,3 so on. And for next delivery also system should give me (or allow to enter) once again starting from 1 and not 04.
I hope my requirement is clear.
Please advise any solution on this.
Any further updates please.....?
Thanx,
Anup

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
