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.
Regards,

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

Hi
While doing transfer order i am getting the following error.
" No items or handling units to be placed in storage could be determined "
How to solve this.
Thanks
Anto

hi,
In case of returnorder there is no need to create LT03,directly u give the Returnstorage location in Delivery process VL01N ,so picking tab will be in normal mode ,so u can enter the quantity directly.
Hope this wil work for u
Thanks

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.

Try Program RLMOB019 to Unpack HU by Delivery

BAPI/FM to add Items to Handling Unit

Hello Gurus,
Is there any BAPI/FM to add Items to existing HU.
I could see many existingBAPI's like
V51F_CHANGE_HU_ITEM,
HUINV_ITEM_CHANGE,
HU_ITEM_CHANGE
but none has helped me as such and it goes into some kind of error.
Hence it would be great if someone provides me code/mandatory inputs as well.
Functionally speaking one can add items to existing HU by HU02 transaction and pack the same.
Thanks,
Vikram.

Assigning Handling Unit to the Inbound Delivery

Could anyone please give me an example of code (using FM 'ws_delivery_update' and probably others) to assign a HU created by transaction HU02 (status PLND)to the inbound delivery (like VL32N).
After such assignment I want to create an appropriate Transfer Order to move the HU to the warehouse. In my case ws_delivery_update doesn't update the HU positions table VEPO-VBELN.
When tried to use FM 'L_TO_CREATE_DN' it just showed an error saying that 'No items or handling units to be placed in storage could be determined'.

What parameters have I missed? Please, help!

No item could be determined for Inbound for TO message No.L3898

Hi folks!!
While doing TO for inbound, I am getting following error No items to be placed in storage could be determined.
While if I tried to create TO with reference to GR, system is allowing me to create TO.
Please let me know what are the settings required to create TO for Inbound delivery.
Best regards

Hi,
LT03 is used to create TO WRT outbound delivery and even the path for that is under Outbound delivery
Logistics -->Logistics Execution -->Outbound Process -->Goods Issue for Outbound Delivery -->Picking -->Create Transfer Order -->LT03 - Single Document
LT0F is used to create TO WRT inbound delivery.
Once the Inbound delivery is created, then check whether a material document is created. I.e in Status overview Total Goods movement status should be C. if this is A then in document flow you can see that the inbound delivey is open.
Execute Goods Receipt for the inbound delivery and then execute LT0f.
This should solve your problem

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

LT12: how to manipulate the handling unit

Dear all,
This is my first message on this forum and I've seen many bright lights on this forum so I have high hopes of your response to my question : )
When I want to confirm a transfer order with trx LT12, 2 Handling Units (HU) are assigned (which can be seen in the lower part of the screen). I have 2 items in my active worklist (different storage units) and can modify some fields, including the HU. For some reason both items have the same HU (the upper one of the assigned HU). I would like the first item to have the first HU and the second item to have the second HU.
My question is simple (and I had thought this would be possible but I've tried a LOT and did not succeed, hence my cry for help here): is there a possibility to manipulate the Handling Unit before it is shown on the screen? I did not seem to find a suitable BADI/user exit.
Any help would be greatly appreciated. Thanks in advance for your efforts!
With kind regards,
Roel van den Berge

Dear Roel van den Berge
if iam not wrong you can achieve the same by TO split
Transfer Order Split
Use
To optimize processes in the warehouse, it often makes sense to split up putaways and stock removals into smaller packets according to certain criteria. In doing so, it is important, for example, to:
     Distribute the workload equally amongst the warehouse workers
     Optimize stock movements in the warehouse according to certain criteria.
The transfer order (TO) represents a work package and determines the actual workload for a putaway or stock removal. It can therefore make sense to split a single, extensive transfer order into several smaller transfer orders. During the TO split, the system creates several smaller packets from one large one.
During the TO split, the TO items are divided up between one or more TOs. A TO split does not however mean that the system divides individual items of a TO into smaller TO items.
Prerequisites
1.     You define the criteria according to which the TO split is to occur in the Customizing for Warehouse Management under Activities  Transfers  Processing Performance Data/TO Split  Define Profiles.
a.     To define a TO sort profile, choose Sort profile for TO splitting.
In the sort profile for the TO, you define the criteria according to which you want to sort the items in a transfer order before the actual split.
For each of these sort criteria, you define whether the system is to sort the transfer order items in ascending or descending order.
Before the actual dynamic TO split, you must sort the corresponding TO according to certain criteria. By sorting the TO items, you ensure that the TO split is sensibly executed and that no nonsensical TO splits occur.
b.     To define a TO split profile, choose Profile for Transfer Order Splitting.
c.     You assign your sort profile to the TO split profile by entering it in the field Sort profile.
2.     You determine when the TO split should take place in the Customizing for warehouse management under Activities  Transfers  Processing Performance Data/TO Split  Control for Performance Data Processing/Define TO Split.
You also assign a key to the TO split profile, consisting of a warehouse number, movement type, source storage type and destination storage type.
Features
Standard Sorting of TO Items
Control of the TO split occurs on the basis of the sort. The system defines the sequence of the items in the transfer order before the actual TO split via the sort, so that the sequence of the TO items corresponds to an optimal sort sequence for later processing.
Since the system always executes the forced split of the transfer order items according to the forced split criteria, the system always sorts the TO items in the standard sort in accordance with the forced split criteria in the order that the forced split criteria are processed.
Forced Split
Even if you have not set any user-defined criteria for the TO split, the system always executes a TO split according to the following forced split criteria:
     Planned data is required
The TO split first divides the TO items for which planned data creation is required, from the TO items for which planned data creation is not required.
The TO split also causes a further division for all TO items with planned data creation, according to the source storage type and destination storage area criteria.
     Per split profile
As soon as TO items differ from one another in the split profile to which they are assigned, a TO split occurs according to the split profile criterion.
     Per performance data profile
As soon as TO items differ from one another in the performance data profile to which they are assigned, a TO split occurs according to the performance data profile criterion.
     Per staging area
The TO split divides the TO items according to the staging zone to which they are assigned.
     According to mixed pallets
The TO split then separates the TO items containing mixed pallets from those containing no mixed pallets.
The TO split also creates a further division of all TO items with mixed pallets according to the storage unit that is to be moved.
     According to queue
The TO split divides the TO items according to the queue that these TO items are assigned to.
If you work with queues, you can assign each work area to its own printer. That way, all materials that are to be processed in a specific area can be combined in one list and printed on the assigned printer.
     According to handling unit items
The TO split then separates the TO items containing handling units from those containing no handling units.
     Separate confirmation of the withdrawal step and the transfer step is necessary
The TO split divides the TO items with split confirmation from TO items for which split confirmation is not planned.
The system transfers the information on the forced split to the header via the transfer orders, which are created as a result of the TO split.
The forced split criteria are obligatory. You cannot influence the forced split via the user exit. The system does not adopt any changes to the forced split criteria.
Dynamic Sorting
Before you can execute a dynamic TO split controlled via the Customizing settings, the TO items should be sorted according to the split criteria. In doing so, you ensure that the TO split is sensibly executed and that no nonsensical TO splits occur.
You can define the sequence of all the storage bins in the warehouse based on a specific sequence and sort the TO items according to this sequence. The system sorts according to the Sequence indicator in the warehouse master data.
Dynamic Split
You can define several criteria for the TO split in the Customizing for Warehouse Management.
     Split according to movement unit
On the basis of this split criterion, you create a new TO for each movement unit. In doing so, you create TOs with one item for exactly one movement unit.
You use this split, for example, during goods receipt when a whole pallet is moved from the GR area into the warehouse.
You define the split according to movement unit in the Customizing for Warehouse Management under Activities  Transfers  Processing Performance Data/TO Split  Define Profiles  Profile for performance data with the indicator Split single TO.
     Split according to picking area
You divide up the items to be picked according to the areas of responsibility of the picker.
     Split according to target times in the TO
You determine, for example, how long the picking for a transfer order is allowed to take.
     Split according to scope (weight or volume)
You determine the total weight or volume that a transfer order can cover for putaway or stock removal.
Note that the volume is calculated based on the alternative unit of measure. A box with 10 bottles, for example, can have a different volume than 10 times the volume of one bottle. If the volume for the alternative unit of measure has not been defined in the material master record, the system uses the volume from the base unit of measure for its calculation.
Activities
Note that you have no influence over the TO split according to forced split criteria.
You can, however, define your own criteria for a dynamic TO split via user exit MWMTO012. For more information, see the system documentation on this user exit

SAP Handling Unit Managment

Hi folks,
I very urgently need some documents about SAP HUM.
Can any one help me.

SAP HU - SAP Handling Unit Management (HUM)
The SAP HU is used for tracking the handling units used by the materials. Some common handling units are packagings materials like cartons, pallets etc.
In the SAP system, the handling unit (HU) expands on the shipping unit. Handling units can be nested and you can also create new handling units from several handling units as often as you like. At the material item level, HUs contain the complete material identification, the quantity, and, in the case of serial numbers, the respective object list. Handling units have unique,
scannable identification numbers that can be developed according to standards such as EAN 128 or SSCC.
Handling units contain all inventory management information of the materials they contain that are maintained in Inventory Management. There are also status messages that you can call up at any time that indicate whether a handling unit is only planned or if the ship-to party has been notified of the arrival of this handling unit, or whether it is in the warehouse or has already been posted to goods issue. The integrated history function also records each business process in
the life cycle of each handling unit, meaning that you can track the handling units path and development at any time.
Refer to : Logistics -> Central Functions -> Handling Unit Management
In HU-managed storage locations, all goods movements are executed through the specification of the respective HUs, and Inventory Management is performed through the handling units. If you are working without HU-managed storage locations, you can work with handling units (without stock information) as before in the delivery and in the shipment.
In HU-managed storage locations, materials can be managed in HUs only. Mixed stock made up of packed and non-packed materials within the same storage location are not supported. HUs can also be managed in interim storage types. Unpacking a material from a HU means that the stock of the material is posted to a storage location that is not HU-managed.
If you call up normal material movements in connection with an HU-managed storage location, a delivery is created, rather than a direct material posting, which has been the procedure up to now.
Please note that if you want to use 311 to move the material already in stock, but in a non HUM Storage Location and you want to transfer those materials into a HUM Storage Location 304. If this is the case you can use the transaction VLMOVE with the destination plant and storage location. Before that you have to create the HU with the transaction code HU02 Storage location: where the material is and the status: in stock.
Handling units are unique at client level in at least one system. Using an indicator at client level, you can control whether you are going to work with the HU functions. Since the handling unit is a physical unit, the central logistics processes are controlled through the input of the handling unit identification. These processes include putaway, picking, and stock transfers, as well as goods receipts and goods issues.
A handling units mobility can be limited if quality checks are active. Changes in the stock category caused by a quality inspection are made using a posting change in the handling unit.
There is also a report available that you can use to find and display handling units using different selection criteria such as material, packing instruction, or storage location.
Although the handling unit is basically a unit that remains constant in the system, you can change it by repacking the materials it contains. All the packing functions, such as packing, repacking, and unpacking, are completely supported by the handling unit functionality. In this way, handling units can be created in production, during goods receipt, or in the packing areas of the warehouse. If you have automatic packing, the handling unit is created from the packaging proposals defined in the system (from the packing instructions, for example).

Rajesh Banka

Please anyone tell me is there any way to create serial no for Handling Unit by this transaction code or any other transaction code.
Help me in resolving this matter , i need to resolve this problem urgently.
Thanks

Hi,
You cannot create serial number for handling unit.
Serial number can be created for the item of handling unit.

Batch:
In various industries particularly the process industry you have to work with homogenous partial quantities of a material or product throughout the logistics quantity and value chain.
There are various reasons for this:
Legal requirements (for example, the guidelines set out by GMP (Good Manufacturing Practice) or regulations on hazardous material
Defect tracing, callback activities, and regression requirement
The need for differentiated quantity-and value-based Inventory Management (for example, due to heterogeneous yield/result qualities or varying constituents in Production.
Differences in usage and the monitoring thereof in materials planning in SD and Production.
Production or procedural requirements (for example, settlement of material quantities on the basis of different batch specifications).

VLMOVE 321 with nested Handling Unit

Hi
I have the following situation:
- Handling Unit active
- WM active (with Storage Unit)
- QM not active
I have nested HUs:
.1         HU001
...2       HU002
......3    Material A, Batch B1, quantity 10 pcs in inspection stock
...2       HU003
......3    Material A, Batch B2, quantity 20 pcs in inspection stock
In WM, I have only HU001.
The first question is: Is possible to manage lower-level HU as Storage Unit in WM? I mean, can I have HU002 and HU003 as storage unit number instead of HU001 in WM?
The second is: when I try to post HU002 to unrestricted-use stock (with VLMOVE 321), SAP posts the higher HU in unrestricted-use stock, changing also the stock of HU003 (Material A Batch B2).
I don't want it because Batch B2 isn't inspected!!
I think that I could unpack HU001, posting change to HU002 and then repack, but this process is very time expensive and it should be done automatically by interface from an external LIMS.
Have you got any idea?
If I activate QM-IDI interface (with inspection lots), could it be possible?
many thanks
mic

hi guys
Iu2018ve met this problem
*1 we just manage HU in highest level in WM
you just select the lower-level HU when you confirm TO. we don't need to unpack.
i just know this. share with you.
hope help to you.

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 ........

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