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?

  • 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.

  • Handling Units and BADI_HU_AUTOPACK

    We are setting up handling units(HU's) to be created at the time of Transfer Order(TO) creation.  We have implemented the badi BADI_HU_AUTOPACK.  What I am looking for is the way to link the handling unit number with the line items on the TO so that when the user goes to confirm the transfer order the HU's and the line items are aligned as desired.  In the CT_ITEMS parameter I can see the handling units and the TO item data, but the hadling unit number has not yet been created.  I would appreciate any input on this issue.

    Those fields are filled.  The HU is field EXIDV below, and the $0000000001 is like a placeholder, since the HU number has not yet been generated.  My assumption was that this number to be created would be linked with the TO Item 000001.  This is not the case when viewing the TO.
    VENUM     C     10
    EXIDV     C     20      $0000000001
    VELIN     C     1      1
    BELNR     C     10      1001003116
    POSNR     N     6      000001

  • Confirming a Transfer Order for RF

    I am trying to find a BAPI or function module that will confirm a transfer order for use with a RF device.  We have tried using a BDC, but it is too unreliable because of the limit on the number of handling units that it can do at 1 time from the same bin.  If you have a way of confirming 30 or more handling units using transaction LT12 in a BDC, I will try that as well.
    Thanks.

    Hello ,
    you could try with BAPI_SHIPMENT_CHANGE,
    but it's released and not documented. So, it's at own risk.

  • Unwanted automatic confirmation of transfer order

    Hi,
    I am kind of out of good ideas. The problem is following:
    I pick for production orders to fixed bins using several different WM movement types. When I am low on stock the production orders then cannibalizes on each other when picking in background. I dont have "propose confirmation" set in any of the WM movement types concerned.
    Ex.
    2 pcs are in interim storage type 914, then I generate a transfer order for interim storage type 924 (copy of 914), which picks from 914 and confirms automatically.
    thanks for any ideas of what else to check.

    Hi,
    the thing I need to understand is:
    1. why does the transfer order pick from another interim storage type in background.
    2. why does this type of movement between interims auto-confirm
    thanks

  • Auto Confirmation of transfer order - 999 mvt from storage type W01 to S01

    Hi,
    I am trying to automate the confirmation of transfer orders between storage type W01 and S01 using a 999 movement type. The 999 movement type appears to work perfectly when doing a bin to bin movement within the W01 storage type (for example move batch abc from bin 01 to bin 02) no confirmations are required. However if I transfer from a bin in W01 storage type to the S01 storage type (which only has a single bin to represent a staging area) a manual confirmation of the transfer order is required via lt24 or lt12. It appears therefore that the issue is with the storage type S01 for this particular Warehouse. The setting to confirm the TO immediately is already activated for movt 999 in customizing, is there a setting for the storage type that must be defined.
    Regards,

    F1 help for field V_T333-SQUIT:
    Means that the transfer order item can be confirmed immediately during the creation procedure.
    SAP online help:
    http://help.sap.com/saphelp_erp60_sp/helpdata/en/c6/f83e4d4afa11d182b90000e829fbfe/frameset.htm
    To set the confirmation requirement for foreground processing, select the indicator for TO item can be confirmed immediately.
    As per my understanding the immediate confirmation indicator does not mean that the transfer order will be confirmed immediately. It makes possible that during the creation of transfer order you CAN put a flag in the confirmation checkbox.
    If you use it together with "propose confirmation" flag (setting for WM movement type; V_T333-VQUIT), the falg in confirmation check box will be populated automatically during TO creation.

  • Error in confirmation of Transfer orders at Header level (TC LRF2)

    Hello All,
    A transfer order has single item.  It has got confirmed at the item level for the full quantity.  The confirmation switchbox at item level is checked in by the system automatically.  But in header level the switch box is not checked in.
    While trying to confirm the Transfer order at header level, the error message shows that the Transfer order is already confirmed.  But the Transfer order still exists in LRF2.
    Thanks in Advance.

    Hi Marcos
    Note 566995 is an old correction note, which is probably already implemented on your system but it describes the standard system design regarding confirmations posted in mass processing transactions:
    When you enter an operation confirmation via the order info system or the mass processing the system now sets the confirmation type to 'Automatic final confirmation' as well as the indicator 'Post open reservations'. Thus the system automatically generates a final confirmation when you confirm the whole planned quantity and the operation receives status CNF (finally confirmed) instead of PCNF (partially confirmed).
    System is designed that way because a mass processing transaction will be generally executed in background mode and a huge number of confirmations can be posted at the same time. Therefore, user will not be able to enter any value to the confirmation.
    If you don't want this behaviour you could use the BAPI
    BAPI_PRODORDCONF_CREATE_HDR to develop your own mass processing transaction to post confirmations.

  • BAPI - Goods receipt and then create transfer order for a production order

    Hello Everyone
    We need to do goods receipt and then create transfer order for a production order (Material for WM scenario)
    We are using BAPI 'BAPI_GOODSMVT_CREATE'
          i_items-orderid = wa_afpo-aufnr .
          i_items-order_itno = wa_afpo-posnr.
          i_items-mvt_ind = 'F'.

    We are passing i_items (like line of goodsmvt_item) along with other parameters to BAPI and its creating material document and Transfer order automatically. Problem is the TO created is showing destination storage bin as default storage bin( from material master).
    The field goodsmvt_item-stge_bin is just changing the Source bin details. There is no field for bin in the BAPI so that we can change the Destination storage bin as per our requirement.
    My requirement : Creating material doc and then TO. Material should move to specified storage bin.
    Please let me know any alternate way( No BDC) so that my requirement is achieved.

  • What is the difference between handling unit and packaging material

    hi
    what is the difference between handling unit and packaging material

    Hi,
    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.
    Packaging materials are intended to enclose or hold together the materials that are to be packed. In other words, the material that is to be packed can be packed into or onto the packaging material. The packaging material can be a load carrier. The most important packaging materials include crates, boxes, containers, wire baskets, and pallets.
