Incomplete handling unit only in final comfirmation

Hi experts,
could you please help to give your solution of the following senario?
we use COWBPACK to pack for production order after order confirmation. Can it be realize that only with the final confirmation, imcomplete handling unit is allowed to be generated, and during partial confirmation, imcomplete handling unit is not allowed.
It means, against one production order, there is only ONE incomplete handling unit at most and restrict to generated in final confirmation.

can anyone give some suggestions?

Handling unit creation in the out bound Process

Hi All,
If we are not activate Storage Unit management/HU management in the warehouse and still create HUu2019s during outbound process via packing transfer order? We donu2019t want to manage stock at SU/HU level but create handling unit for material during outbound process. Is it possible?
Please give me the suggestions.
Thanks
Prasad

Hi Prasad,
Yes it is possible. You will have to use handling units only as shipping units in the outbound delivery packing function. The handling unit can be defined during the transfer order confirmation (you have this in LT12 as packing) or in the delivery after the TO confirmation. You can only perform packing before goods issue.
I hope i'll helps you lot

Auto PGI for only deliveries which contain a Handling Unit

It is possibe to setup automatic post goods issue when confirming the transfer order using :-
IMG menu path: Logistics - Execution - Warehouse Management - Interfaces - Shipping - Define Shipping Control - Define Shipping Control at the Movement Type Level
Mvt type 601 - setting Copy WM Quantity to option '4' -i.e. auto PGI
However this would then work when confirming transfer orders for ALL outbound deliveries.
I only require auto PGI to work for deliveries containing Handling Units.
Is this possible ? I imagined it might involve cloning mvt type 601 to another mvt type which would then be used
specifically for handling units.
Regards.
Phil.

Thanks for the reply, using VL06G in background is an option.
Is another possible option to use a Special Movement Indicator ?
WM mvt typ 601 could be copied to a new one e.g. 610. The interfaces table could then be setup so that Ref mvt type 601
with a Special Movement Indicator points to WM mvt type 610.
The issue I have is that I don't want to set the Special Movement Indicator on the Material Master (WM 1 view).
I know it is possible to define the Special Movement Indicator within MIGO as a default setting.
Is there something similar within the Outbound delivery ?
Regards.
Phil.

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.

Problem in deleting Handling unit

Hi,
I have created a program in which I have to create a HU and pack a material into it. For this I have used BAPI BAPI_HU_CREATE. Then I am packing this newly created HU to another HU using BAPI BAPI_HU_PACK. In between these 2 BAPI calls I made goods movement using tcode VLMOVE. This I have done using BDC. This process works fine.
After the creation of HU and Packing if I press a button to delete the HU, it should delete the selected HU. For the deletion of HU I have used BAPI_HU_DELETE. But it is not deleting. But when I start my program again and try to delete it is working.
Deletion is not working only when I try it after creation of HU.(there is a button for creation too).
For eg. If I have created and packed successfully a HU say HU1 and I try to delete it , it is not working.
If I start the program and try, it deletes HU1.
Could anyone please tell me the reason for this.
Order of my BAPI call.
BAPI_HU_CREATE
BDC for VLMOVE
BAPI_HU_PACK
finally when pressing delete button
BAPI_HU_DELETE
Do I have to call some FM or BAPI to clear the memory or something like that. Please help me to solve this issue.
Thanks & Regards,
Jisha.

Hi Preetham,
Thanks for your fast response.
Yes. There was an error message. The error message was the u2018The handling unit contains items that cannot be deletedu2019. But if I start the program again it deletes correctly.
The problem occurs only when I try soon after creating and packing the HU.
After every BAPI call I am using BAPI_TRANSACTION_COMMIT with wait = u2018Xu2019.
Thanks & Regards,
Jisha.

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?

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

Subcontracting & Handling Unit

Dear All
Our scenario is subcontracting is done for final assembly that is finished product and in the same subcontracting order packing is also done(Multi level 3 level packing).which is to be mapped by handling unit.we need to map handling unit management at subcontractors premises.
Finish material is configurable (KMAT).
Secondly rejected components during fianl assembly comes back to clients premises which is again replaced with the fresh one.
Can anybody give any idea how to map this scenario.
thanks and regds

Hi,
The GR is an internal document....Whenever the truck driver comes....he has the paper described details about invoice price for the given delivery of the material...which is provided to you for checking....pls do insert these details only if you have full faith on the vendor ie. abt delievered qty...price charged etc....
Your answer to first question is :
VERP (packaging materials)
Packaging materials are used to transport goods and come with the goods free of charge. A material master record of this material type is managed both on a quantity basis and by value.
Hope it helps....

How to re-use of handling unit number (SSCC)?

Dear,
We are implementing handling unit management to our customer and HU number is SSCC code. The inbound process intended to use is as follows:
1. Create purchase order with confirmation control key 0004 (shipping notification) and receiving storage location is a HU-managed storage location.
2. Create inbound delivery against the purchaser order via VL31N.
3. Pack HU in the inbound delivery and then post goods receipt.
Further, our customer is using fix SSCC on each pallet physically, so we will maintain external HU number range in SAP accordingly, but the issue is, how to re-use of the SSCC in the inbound process? Currently, once the HU (SSCC) is received in SAP, the system status will be PHEX and WHSE, then next time when the pallet is empty physically, we still cannot re-use of the HU (SSCC) in the inbound delivery for GR process in SAP.
Can anyone of you give me some suggestions how to re-use of handling unit (SSCC) in SAP?
Thanks in advance.
Br,
Jason

Hi Jason
As far as I know it cannot be done in any standard way. The only way is to reset the status of the HU using program ie make changes at Table level VEKP-HU_STATUS.
or during the final issue of the SSCC from the system looks for BADI/Exit to achieve the same or do it through batch program to reset the status

Line items are clubbed in Handling Unit's

There are two line items in delivery for same material , while packing I am selecting single line item and packing it . But when I select line item 10 and try to pack it, line item 20 also automatically getting clubbed with line item 10 and getting packed together .
For this material , rounding profile has been maintained .I canu2019t delete this rounding profile because when we process single line item for this material , system has to round off . Suppose , material is rounded off for 30 units in material master and rounding profile has been assigned for this material.
My requirement is handling unit need to be created for single line item , system should not consider 2nd line item while creating handling unit for first line item even though first and second line items consume same material .
In delivery, suppose , there are two line items for same material . for first line item quantity is 20 and for second line item , it is 23 .
When I try to pack it manually , system should create 2 handling units with quantity of 20 and 23 nos . System should not create handling units with quantity of 30 and 13 .
What configuration change I need to make in handling unit management .
Thanks In Advance
Jaya

Hi Pratyush
I have checked up in both the places, POP2 and POF2, target quantity was mentioned as 1 only for this material .
still ,Why is system not considering only one line item's quantity while packing . why is it clubbing both line items .
Pls help me ........

Link between delivery and handling unit split items

Hi All,
I have an delivery wit 4 different line items. While creating the Packing we created the Handling units for the delivery.
In Handling unit one line item is split into 2 boxes.
like   handling unit     gross weight
            1                        20
            2                       20
           3                        20
           4                        10 split
           5                         10 split
so now i want to display the delivery line item and gross weight. For last line item i have to add the both handling unit 4 and 5 and display the gross weight.
In VEKP table i have only delivery number for the reference for all handling units. but not line item. So how can we find out for which delivery line item of the handling unit was split.
                       Thanks,

Outbound Delivery Handling Unit HU material box pallet

Business requirement.
To create a delivery based on a sales order using a function module. To do this, users have an AbapWebdynpro application to collect data,
Handling units for boxes and handling units for pallets are creates as the user packs his materials in the application.
Items are packed in boxes and boxes on pallets.
Problem description: cannot pack boxes onto pallets.
I can pack items in boxes no problems. Delivery gets created ok.
How i do it:
Step 1:
At the end of AbapWebdynpro process and validations, if no errors occurs, a function module is called to format the data and call fm to create a delivery.
This part works as expected and is all ok.
Step 2:
Then in the function module that will create de delivery, header proposal is filled for boxes and pallets. itemproposal is filled for items in boxes and pallets
Step 3:
then,
FUNCTION 'BAPI_HU_CREATE' is used to create handling units for items
This part works perfectly for boxes and items but not for pallets.
then, delivery create
CALL FUNCTION 'SD_DELIVERY_UPDATE_PACKING_1'
EXPORTING
delivery = ls_createditems-document_numb
commit = 'X'
synchron = 'X'
TABLES
verko_tab = i_verko
verpo_tab = i_verpo
prot = i_prot
it_handling_units_1 = i_handling_unit
EXCEPTIONS
update_not_possible = 1
OTHERS = 2.
This part works fine also if not pallets HU are present in the data .
The problem is when i want to create a pallet and add the boxes to it. I have tried about every thing i read but had not much success.
The only thing that came close to doing the job is the following code.
First i create the delivery with boxes and materials only and with the following FM, i create the pallet and attach it to the delivery line but then i can not assign the boxes to it.
ls_handling_units-top_hu_external = ls_packed_pallets-hu_pallet.
ls_handling_units-top_hu_internal = ls_hupallet.
ls_handling_units-venum = ls_huboxes.
ls_handling_units-vepos = ls_packed_boxes-posnr.
ls_handling_units-rfbel = lv_vbeln.
ls_handling_units-rfpos = ls_packed_boxes-posnr.
APPEND ls_handling_units TO lt_rehang.
Step 4:
CALL FUNCTION 'SD_DELIVERY_UPDATE_PACKING_1'
EXPORTING
delivery = ls_createditems-document_numb
commit = 'X'
synchron = 'X'
TABLES
verko_tab = i_verko
verpo_tab = i_verpo
prot = i_prot
it_handling_units_1 = i_handling_unit
EXCEPTIONS
update_not_possible = 1
OTHERS = 2.
Is anyone succeed to create a program to create outbound delivery where materials are pack into boxes and those boxes are packed on pallets.
Regards
dstj

If the delivery document PGIed then you need to do VL09 transaction to reverse the PGI document.
Then do in VL02N transaction select Delete handling unit assignment icon it will remove all the handling units from delivery.
Later goto EDIT option then selct copy pack qty as dlv qty then save.Later system will allow you to delete the document.

Goods Issuing Many Materials From a Single Handling Unit

Hi Experts!
I have searched threads and asked various contacts how to do this but can't get anything beyond the basics of handling units that we have already implemented.
I am using handling units to pack outbound deliveries and have managed to get to the point where the packaging material is goods issued, however when the product is packed we use (for example)
- a box
- a label
- some sealing tape
- some ink etc
and I want to be able to goods issue all the items involved not just a single packing unit - does anyone know how to do this?
(I have looked at multi level packing e.g. put a product in a box and 10 boxes onto a pallet, but this would only goods issue the box and the pallet)
Thanks in advance!
Simon.

Hi,
I am using packing instructions set up in POP1 and assigned to a customer via POF1 to pack a number of products into a box. The box (packing material) is inventory managed so when the delivery is created and a plant assigned to the handling units it creates an extra line on the delivery that can be post goods issued. We have auot packing set up on the delivery type I am using. This works fine.
My question is that the above set up only post goods issues one of the items used in packing my finished products (in this case a cardboard box), I am trying to find a way of goods issuing other packing materials at the same time such as packing placed with the product inside the box, the tape used to seal the box and the label that we will put on the side of the box.
I think that it would be possible to use a process order and complete the activity in PP and use a Bill Of Materials, however I want to see if I can take advantage of the automatic packing functions.
I hope that this makes sense.
Regards,
Simon.

MTS with batch management, serialization and Handling unit

Hello All,
I am testing a scenario for MTS with batch management, serialization and Handling unit for discrete manufacturing.
Everything worked fine till I created the Handling unit for the finished product.
The production order has a quantity of 3 EA.
It has three serial numbers 1, 2 and 3. (serial numbers can be displayed from order->Header->serial numbers)
I created one Handling unit for production order quantity of 3 EA.
I tried to do a goods receipt for the production order using transaction COWBHUWE.
I get the following error when I try to post the GR:
Only 0 serial numbers entered instead of 3
Message no. IO304
Diagnosis
There is a serial number obligation, so the number of serial numbers must equal the number of serial numbers in the material document.
You can post the operation only if you entered the correct number of serial numbers previously.
System Response
Depending on the context in which the error arises, the system continues processing, or the required function cannot be performed.
Procedure
You have the following options, for example:
Check that the serial numbers are entered fully.
If necessary, display an error log.
If necessary, contact your system administrator.
What did I miss?
How to fix this problem?
Please help.
Thanks in advance
George

I added the serialization procedure HUSL to the serial number profile and it fixed the problem.

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
