HU question: Packing instruction expansion

Hello,
I have one HU question.
For an Inbound delivery I created automatic packing (with POP1 and POF1) with 2 level packing (palett and box on the palett).
The problem is if I receipt a Purchase Order with 2 Materials, one palett can contain the 2 Material, I explain with an example:
Material A => packaging = 1 palett with 10 Box and each box is 2 kg => palett = 20 kgs
Material B => packaging = 1 palett with 10 Box and each box is 2 kg => palett = 20 kgs
I receipt the goods on the same purchase order:
14 kgs of material A and 10 kgs of Material B
And the packing automation is done in the inbound delivery and the result is:
Palett 1 with
Material A: 7 Boxs of 2 kgs
Material B: 3 Boxs of 2 kgs
Palett 2 with:
Material B: 2 Boxs of 2 kgs
And I don't want on the first palett the mix between the 2 Material, I would like this packing:
Palett 1 with
Material A: 7 Boxs of 2 kgs
Palett 2 with:
Material B: 5 Boxs of 2 kgs
Manually I know how separate for each material but not with the automatic packing.
I tried to change the custo: transaction OVHU2, profile inbound delivery with putting 'Start automatically' flagged (in Packing instruction expansion) but it doesn't work.
Thanks by advance for your help.
Julie.

Hi,
you can try creating another packing instruction with your 1st level packing as subordinate packing instruction (with item category I) and the 2nd level packaging material with P item cat in POP1.You can also maintain the no of handling units to be packed in the 2nd HU.
This can be repeated for multilevel packing

Table for Packing instruction

Hi All,
Can any one tell me the table and field name of Packing instruction from POP3 transaction? I have to get this packing instruction on the basis of delivery number.
I checked by my own and there is a structure for this as PIKP (Packing Instruction header) and if this is the structure I need to use then how could i get the short text of the packing instruction as I have an internal table with fields VBELN POSNR LGNUM LGTYP MATNR CHARG LGPLA VERME LFIMG MEINS ZZEOLC ZZPACKSTN.
Regards
Sumit

Hello Sumit,
I am not sure if your questions have since been answered, but the following are the header and item tables for the packing instruction data:
PACKKP - Packing Object Header
PACKPO - Packing Object Item
PACKKPS - Texts for Packing Object Header (PACKKP)
Cheers,

Packing Instruction - Scales

Hello,
I have a question concerning packing instructions for outbound deliveries.
I have a material that is to be packed in an envelope if one piece is shipped.
If however 10 pieces are to be shipped, the material should be packed directly into a carton (without passing by the envelope).
How can I implement this kind of scales using automatic packaging with packing instructions? I only see the possibility of creating packing hierarchies but no scaling.
Thanks a lot for your answer

Hello Kaushik,
I did put an alternative packing instruction in the determination but the system does not take it into account.
The first instruction is to put 1 piece into 1 envelope (min. quantity 1)
The alternative instruction is to put 10 pieces into 1 carton (min. quantity 10)
When I try to execute automatic packaging in the outbound delivery with 10 pieces, the system only takes into account the first instruction and packs the 10 pieces in 10 separate envelopes.

Robert

How to handle empty boxes to fill a pallet layer in Packing Instructions

Hi, I would like to know if it is possible to automatically add empty boxes in an outbound delivery of finished goods when the delivery is complete.
e.g. In the packing Instructions I have the following
1 Pallet
12 boxes of finished goods ( 4 boxes per layer on the pallet )
My delivery consists of 9 boxes on 1 pallet there I will need to add 3 empty boxes to create a complete layer on the pallet.
I would like the system to automatically add the 3 boxes, not manually add them.

Hi,
I'm afraid in standard system it's not possible to add this manually. You may consider to discuss it in
in Enterprise Resource Planning (SAP ERP) where you can find more experts in this area.
Best regards,
Claire

Hi,
As long as the material master is maintained well, you can manually pack without packing instruction. For the material master, I'd like to give an example.
Example: to pack a computer in a box.
1. create material master for computer
2. create packaging material master for box
3. assign the packaging material master (box) to the material master (computer)

Standard BW Datasource for Packing Instructions

Hi BW Experts,
Are there any Standard BW Datasources for Packing Instructions.
The Packing Instructions data mainly resides in PACKPO, PACKKP, PACKKPS tables in SAP.
If there are no Standard extractors or Data Sources , what are the options of extracting this data from SAP into BI.
I got to know there a few extract views, how do we use them.
MGV_V_PACKIN
MGV_V_PACKIN2
V_PACKIN
V_PACKIN2
Waiting for your kind response.
Thanks,
Daniel

Hi Daniel,
I don't think you will find Business Content for those tables. That leaves you with the option to create a Generic DataSource yourself (t/code RSO2). Here you can use a table or a view as source.

Material as a Component in Packing Instructions

Hi Friends,
I would like to understand the real need of entering Material Code which has to be packed (Item cateogry -> M) in the packing instructions (POP1), along with the packing materials (Item Cateogry -> P).
As we are already assigning the packing instruction number in POF1 against the material.
Can anyone please advise on the same.
Regards,
Harsh

look up www.tidestone.com, they had an MS Excel lib you could get for java. It is not free and they also just sold to another company. See if they still offer it.

Using one packing instruction for several materials

Dear Friends,
I need some inputs on how to use one packing instruction for several materials.
The scenarion here is :
Many materials are packed in a similar way. If certain materials differ in only one characteristic (for example, construction), having to maintain a packing instruction for each of them results in a considerable time and efforts.
Need some valuable inputs to complete this requirement.
Regards,
Harsh

Hi.
Try with reference material for packing (MARA-RMATP). Same material number must be entered on all materials which are packed through same packing instructions.
Then you have to create/use access sequence for determination of packing instructions that contains that characteristic (RMATP).

Basics of Packing instructions

I am trying to create a 'template' by pallet type, of material counts that fill the pallet. So for example, Pallet type '1', may hold 4 drums of material A, or 18 pails of material B, or 6 drums of material C. Pallet type '2' may hold 6 drums of material A, or 22 pails of material B, or 8 drums of material C.
How do i create my packing instructions to reflect this?

Ok to make this a little clearer.. Here is what I have set up:
I want SAP to intrerpret it as 6DR of 828423, OR 20PL of 831528 OR 24pl of 827575.....
but what I get is 6DR AND 20PL AND 24PL on one packing material 411339.... is there anyway I can do this so that a delivery with for these 3 material/quantities would suggest 3 EA of 411339 rather than just 1?
THanks

Packing Instruction determination procedure

How does the system determine Packing instruction determination procedure. For example Output procedeure in Sales order is determined based upon its assignment to Sales document type. Pricing procedure is determined based upon its assignment to corresponding Sales Area, Doc. pricing procedure and Cust. pricing procedure. How does Packing Instructions Procedure and packing instructions in general work.

You define a packing instruction that refers to specific characteristics, such as material and ship-to party. If you now want to pack this specific material for this specific ship-to party, the system can find the pre-defined packing instruction and use it to create one or more HU proposals that exactly fit the requirements of the customer. Packing instruction determination thus automates the packing process.
The system starts packing instruction determination when you enter a quanitity of a material to be packed and choose Pack automatically
Prerequisites:
You have created a packing instruction for packing with packing instructions.
You have made the settings for packing instruction determination in Customizing.
Customizing for packing instruction determination is preset in the standard system. However, you can extend the settings in the customer name range. You need the following for packing instruction determination:
- condition table
- access sequence
- determination type
- determination procedure.
You have also defined determination records.
