Leave Handle Units and keep Storage Units in WM

Hi all,
I'm searching for a solution to leave our HUM and "transfer" existing stocks keeping the Storage Unit number.
Thanks for your ideas !
Regards,
Eric Colas

It is possible to do the putaway in WMS w/o previous GR in IM, for details you should read SAP online help which provides the steps of necessary customizing and steps of the scenario:
http://help.sap.com/saphelp_erp60_sp/helpdata/en/c6/f83f704afa11d182b90000e829fbfe/frameset.htm
(When you putaway the positive quant a negative quant will be created - this negative quant will be neutralized via the PrdOrd confirmation.)

How to get Storage unit and Warehouse number from Handling Unit.

hello all,
I have Handling unit and Material in my program as an input, using these two fields i have to get corresponding storage unit and ware house number, to pick up transfer order.
Can anybody explain me who can we get Storage Unit and Warehouse Number from Handling Unit.
I know we can pull transfer order from table LTAK & LTAP using warehouse number.
But i dont understand how to get warehouse number from handling unit.
There is table LSUTO which has warehouse and Handling unit relation, but in our system there is not data maintained in that table. So, i was just wondering how can i get warehouse number from the given handling unit number.
please guide me
thanks

Hi ,
Check out the handling unit item table VEPO. You got storage location(LGORT) in it.
Reward points if it was useful.

Handling Unit Management and supply areas with WM/control cycles

Dear all,
has anyone come across the issue how to handle a replenishment process for production with supply area within WM and Handling Unit Management?
Normally a supply area is being staged via control cycles. in the supply area, all storage units get lost (standard functionality as far as I know). When we post the GI, the components will be taken out of the supply area, backflushing is not allowed as far as I know.
Now: what happens if HUM is switched on? Do we have to enter a HU for these GI's as well? Or does the supply area keep the information of the SU/HU? I want to avoid that the users have to tell the system the HU no. for every screw they take/consume...
Thanks & regards
Christian

Hi,
(as already described,)
it is possible to use handling unit management together with lean
warehouse management. You activate handling unit management independent
from storage unit management (that is only possible in case of full-WM
as far as I know).
Only in case if storage location is full-WM- AND HU-managed the storage
unit management is always active and HU numbers are taken over as SU
numbers. In all other cases HUM and SUM are independent from each other
and number ranges must be set a way that they are not overlapping.

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.

No items or handling units to be placed in storage could be determined

Hello everybody,
I am trying to do an exercise (Handling Unit Management in Shipping) from my SAP Education book (IDES model company), which tells me to create an inbound delivery (VL31N), use a vendor to find a purchase order for a certains material and pack it.
As I couldn't find any purchase order I create one and, afterwards, the inbound delivery/shipping notification.
As I couldn't pack the item in the shipping notification I was suggested to take off the flag on the "Set Unique Number Assigniment fot HU Identification", according to OSS SAP Note 536069.
After that I could pack the item in the Shipping Notification but now I cannot create the transfer order.
The following message arises:
"no items or handling units to be placed in storage could be determined"
Please, can anybody help me?

It looks there is a program error. Check OSS Note 1124121 - HU packed in inbound transport troubles WM activities.
Since you are in IDES, try to create the TO using t.code LT09.

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.

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

External System Handling Units to SAP ECC System and Pack Outbound DO

Hi Guru
Packing Is done in External System for SAP ECC Sales Order Before Outbound Delivery Creation.
How to capture External System Handling Units in to SAP ECC System and Pack Outbound Delivery Line Items.
Please help
Thanks In Advance
SR

Bit of a cart-before-the-horse situation here.
Lets assume that your business process goes ahead and creates a delivery note, but leaves it unpicked and unpacked. Picking and packing will occur with the inbound IDoc from your external system.
Map the external system data into a basic IDoc type DELVRY0X. I think the current one is DELVRY07.
Use an inbound IDoc message type SHPCON to carry the external system data into your ECC system.
The process code DELV works well with DELVRY0X inbounds. It has lots of user exits. You will need them because you will need a determination process to know which delivery note to update with the external system data.
When you map the handling unit data correctly into the IDoc, the process code will create the handling units on your delivery. The external handling unit numbers should end up in VEKP- EXIDV.

Simple Storage unit management by using of 'real' handling unit data

Hi all,
actually we have a WM setup to use the full handling unit management in Warehouse. After some years we detected that the HU managed
Warehouse is not the best solution for our business.
Inside of WM we do no more want to have the Handling units. The assigned storage location is not HU managed.
Now to my question:
We receive from other plants finished goods via inbound delivery. All goods are packed on Handling Units.
When doing the good receipt, Is it possible to use the HU data (vekp, vepo) and create according to it the WM storage units? So one Handling unit
from the inbound delivery will become one storage unit.
thanks in advance for your answers.
Michael

Hi Patrick,
we actually have SAP WM with HU management running. but we want to go back to WM without HU management - only with the storage unit management.
when getting an inbound delivery from another plant (in the same client) goods are batch managed and packed on HU´s. i am searching for a possibility to use the HU data from the inbound delivery to create the WM storage units. So one HU should become one WM storage unit.
so i will post to an ERP comuity.
thanks
Michael

Creating a Storage Handling Unit With The Same # As A Storage Unit

Hello dear WM and MM experts,
I'm beginning to use Handling Units and Storage Units. From what I've been reading, it seems like you can have a HU enter the warehouse in the form of a SU with the same ID#. Is that correct? If that's the case, what transaction(s) is used to create the SU using the same ID# as the HU.]
Basically, I have a pallet with product on it and I'd like to know how to have a SU and a HU with the same ID# to be able to handle this pallet in both WM and MM.
Your input is greatly appreciated.

Hi Oscar,
In the shared thread reply from Sushant wanjari talks about both the scenario when HU management is active and when HU management is not active
Basically i am summarizing the response provided by Sushant "In the case where HU management is active and you want to carry HU number as SU number. No need to define the SU number range in the system. SAP recommends only activating length conversion for storage unit numbers. Note, that this setting is made at client level, and is therefore valid for other warehouse numbers in the same client.
Inbound delivery for which Putaway TO needs to be created
HU in the inbound delivery
During TO creation system propose the same HU number as SU number
Hope this helps. Please let us know if you need any further input on this

Create and Pack Handling Units in the Sales Order Using HU_CREATE_ONE_HU

Hello Experts,
I am trying to use HU_CREATE_ONE_HU function module to create a handling unit and pack it with specific line items in the sales order program in the background. I am able to create the handling unit and pack it but it does not get associated to the sales order / line item. If you look at the sale order's packing proposal, it does not show it packed.

The abap statement does not make sense.
xlips_high_posnr = ( lips-posnr / tvlk-incpo ) * tvlk-incpo
posnr & incpo are both type numc length 6.
Here is my recommendation to catch the divide by zero error.
data: l_oref    type REF to cx_root.
data: l_text    type string.
TRY.
        clear l_text.
         xlips_high_posnr = lips-posnr / tvlk-incpo.
        CATCH cx_sy_zerodivide INTO v_oref.
          l_text = l_oref->get_text( ).
        CLEANUP.
*      Put your code to do further processing if it is divide by zero
ENDTRY.

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,
Venkata Pavan Kumar. Chandrapatla

Hello,
Use item level table VEPO for all the details.
I hope this will solve your problem.

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.

Sharing Handling Units between Inbound and Outbound Delveries?

Hello-
I could use some guidance with how to best setup a handling unit scenario for a Third Party Purchasing process.
1.) Sales Order for Third Party Purchased Material (Vended Finished Good) is created in ECC.
2.) Purchase Order is sent to supplier.
3.) Shipping Label is generated in SAP and is assigned a Handling Unit. Label is sent to supplier.
4.) Supplier affixes this label to product and ships it to our warehouse.
5.) Goods Receipt is performed via Purchase Order (MIGO).
6.) Warehousing activities and Post Goods Issue of Outbound Delivery are performed via this label and Handling Unit.
We would like to do a few new things with this process.
A.) We would like to have the supplier provide us with the HU on their ASNs and generate a Packed Inbound Delivery from it.
B.) We would like the same HU to eventually be associated with the Outbound Delivery to the end customer.
Is their a best practice to share a Handling Unit across an Inbound and Outbound Delivery?
Is EWM Cross Docking the best way to accomplish this?
Are there other proven approaches?
Thanks for your time and help.
-Ron

hi friend
