Packaging Material and Handling Unit Issue

Dear All,
Context: VL02N Outbound delivery (& packing)
I have 2 packaging material 1.box 2.carton
Finish product a,b,c,d etc
I want to put multiple finish product in a box then I want to put 3box in a carton.
I have VERP Packaging maerial
0001 Packaging material group (linked to finish product and packing product in General/Salesview)
0001 & 0002 packaing material type -box and carton (linked to two packaing material box and carton respectively in General/Salesview)
in HU02 T.Code I have attached finish products into a box and a HU got generated. ( Is there any movement happens???what happens when a HU get generated?)
Next I want to put 3box in a carton . How is it possible?
Thanks in advance
Shuva

In HU02 (or HUMO) give all three HU numbers (for the boxes) in tab 'Pack HUs' and press enter. Bottom half of the screen shows all HUs that may be packed. Select all and press 'New HU per x HUs'. You will be prompted to enter the packaging material for new HUs while displaying packaging material for the existing HUs. Select as appropriate, enter number of existing HUs to be packed onto this new HU (3 in your case) and enter.
Hope this helps.

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.

Archiving process for batch and handling unit

Hi Guru,
Need your help in achiving process. I would like to achive batch and handling unit information in SAP. Is it possible that, I can just achive these information without archiving sales order, inbound delivery, outbound delivery and etc document ?
If there are 3 line item in sales order document, only 2 line item are shipped and 1 still open, for this scenario can the batch and handling unit information be archive. Or all the line item for that sales order line must completed then only can be archive.
Pls advise.
Any information will be appreciate.
Rgds,
LH.

unfortunaltey to archive boms you have to archive alle predecessing documents before you can start this one.
go to transaction SARA for object MM_SPSTOCK and click the button for 'Network Graphic'. it will tell you very colourfull what you have to do before attempting to archive boms.
same goes for handling units, object LE_HU. Check in SARA.

How to inventory packing material on Handling Units frm Inbound Del @ PO?

I am receiving raw material against a PO via VL31N, where I pack into handling units. When I post GR for this inbound delivery, the Raw Material is getting a 101 but the packaging material is not being considered. Is there a way I can get the packaging material into inventory? I did verify the following settings as suggested in a different post here and yet the Packing materials are not considered. Any help is appreciated.
1. there is a plant in your HU (you can control this in your packing material type in transaction VHAR; set plant determination either to A or B).
2. there is an item category in your HU (you can control this in transaction 0184; create the following entry: EL / VERP / PACK / / ELP. If you now create an inbound delivery type EL and your packing material has item category group VERP the system will assign item category ELP to your HU.
If both requirements are met the system will generate an item in your inbound delivery after packing.
Then make sure that the item category of the HU (ELP for example) has movement type 501 assigned to it in transaction 0VLP.
If you then post the GR for your inbound delivery, the packing material will be posted on stock.

Hello,
It is well described in:
[Note 831204 - Delivery items for packaging materials|https://service.sap.com/sap/support/notes/831204]
pay atention on this prerequisit
For the relevant delivery types the 'ItemRequirement' routines
have to allow items which does not refer to a sales order.
Standard routine 202.

To define Packing you should follow the below mentioned SAP Menu path.
1. Define Number Ranges for Handling Units by going to IMG-->Logistics Execution >Shipping>Packing-->Define Number Ranges for Handling Units
2. Packing Control by Item Category
3. Define Packaging material Types
4. Define Material Group for Packaging Materials
5. Define Allowed Packaging Materials
6. Define Packing Instructions

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.

Yard Management and Handling Unit Management

I am configuring yard Management in ECC6.0 for a LSP business. Ecc 6.0 is standard and not LSP sepcific industry.
Requirement is :
Track the Container once unloaded at the Port with its content - This I have mapped as HU management.
Recieve the Container at the Freight Forwarder (FF) Whse and perform Check In activity. .
Ability to issue Gate Pass once vehicle arrives at the ,FF whse.
Keep track of inventory of Containers by Shipping Line.
Recieve Empty containers from Shipping line.
Know the container as to how long it has been at the FF Whse to bill the Shiping line for Storage charges of the Container.
Solution concept:
I am thinking that this will be used with HU management and Yard Management. Only doubt I have is that whether Yard Management will track my Containers or Not. The Gate Pass Issued by Yard Management is for the Vehicle and not the Container.
Any inputs will be highly appreciated
Thanks
Raj

Hi Rajeev,
Thanks for the Answer. yes, I need reports to Track the Container by Freight Forwarder ie if a Container belongs to P&O Nedlyod shipping line then I should get the details of teh same . Also Empty Container comes in and then its loaded with Outbound delivery. I am putting the container number in the Container field when we do the check in and putting the forwarding agent as the respective shipping line that way I will know how many container of different size of Forwarder is in my Yard.
Also client wants a way to create a Container Master ie The shipping line gives a list of Empty containers which are lying at the Port. Only when the client needs the containers , he will ask for the same with the shipping line.Not sure is there any standard way of handling this in Yard Management. I am more inclined to make a Z Table to store this data.
Also in the process once I have the container in the Yard , I need to stuff this container with Deliveries. I am planning to Pack the Delivery goods on a Pallet and then Pack this Pallet on to the Conatiner. I am doing this via VL02n transaction . I was somehow unable to locate the Container by Conainer ID when I need to stuff the same in VL02N. Maybe I am missing something or is the data not available? If not , then I plan to get the same by means of some user exit on the HU side ie Check for a HU which is Empty and has the type 20 feet or 40 feet as the case may be and show a Pop up of the same and let user select the COntainer in which he needs to pack the Pallets.
Any pointers will be highly appreciated.
Regards
Rajendra

Commitment Line Item report - BE and Settlement Unit issue

Dear experts,
Request your kind help.
This is with respect to viewing the commitment line item report in ECC 6 for RE-FX master data objects. There are two scenarios.
Scenario 1
Purchase requisition (PR) is created with a business entity (BE) as an Account Assignment object. After the PR is released the same is used to create a Purchase Order (PO). After the PO has been successfully created, I am running the Commitment Line Item report (REISCOLIBD) giving the BE number as a search parameter. The report shows perfectly the PO and the amount of commitment.
Scenario 2
Purchase requisition (PR) is created with a BE as a Account Assignment object. Further to that under the Settlement section, inside the RE Obj box I am also specifying the Service Charge Key, the Settlement Unit and the Ref Date. After the PR is released the same is used to create a Purchase Order (PO). After the PO has been successfully created, I am running the Commitment Line Item report (REISCOLIBD), again by mentioning only the BE number as the input parameter. This time the report does not show the PO at all under commitment line items and instead gives the message "no line items were selected". But here is the catch. When I am running the transaction KSB2 and I am clickng on 'further selection criteria' and then 'Ref Doc num' and then typing the PO number and then running the report, it shows the result perfectly.
Can someone please tell me why in the second scenario, the transaction REISCOLIBD is failing to capture the data related to commitment line items?
Please refer to Note 1271310 to see how to adapt the transaction REISCOLIBD to suit the needs for Commitment Line Item report.
Regards,
Suvarghya Dutta

Hello all,
I have been able to find the answer. As of now Commitment Line Item report for any master data for service charge settlement does not exist and and as such wont be available.
Kind regards,
Suvarghya Dutta

Handling unit - Assigning new number range

Hi All,
We are using SAP 4.7 C
We have a requirement to assign a new number range to handling unit materials(VENUM).
earlier we were having 6 digit handling unit number. now we need to have 8 digit handling unit number.
I have used T-code VNKP and created a new range from '00000000000010000000' to '00000000000099999999'
but while adding the packaging material to handling unit, new handling unit number is being picked from the old range.
Please suggest.
Thanks in advance.

Confirm Transfer Order - Assign Handling unit

Hi All,
When I try to confirm a Transfer Order system by default assigns a Pallet (packaging material - pallet) handling unit.
Is there a way I can assign a Master Carton handling unit (packaging material - MC)?
Am I missing any customizing entries?
Please help.
Thanks,
Meghna

Hi,
the customizing for the creation of the Pick-HU:
IMG: Logistics Execution -> Warehouse Management -> Interfaces -> Shipping -> Define Shipping Control.
Define Control for Automatic Creation of Pick HUs. Check the entries for you whse/source/destination/movmnt type.
I suppose at least that is what you mean with "by default assigns a Pallet (packaging material - pallet) handling unit". Or anything else?
Best regards

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.

Issuing a handling unit to production order

Hi
Is it possible to issue a handling unit to production order. Kindly through some tips in this regard.
Thanks and Regards
Saravana Kumar

hi Sarvana,
a handling unit consists of altogether several contents items that are listed as
>full delivery items,
>partial delivery items,
>or even further handling units
So from the above the handling unit consist of the items for delivery and are packed in one packaging
material (box). The packaging material and the materials it contains form a handling unit that is
assigned to a delivery and can be moved within the warehouse. The content of the handling unit is not significant for Warehouse Management. In fact, the contents can only be determined by referring to the delivery.
So a HU can't be assigned to the production order within the same plant.
for further assistance you can check the following link.
http://help.sap.com/saphelp_47x200/helpdata/en/16/4bad1ba63611d2b44e006094b9b9dd/frameset.htm.
hope this helps to answer your question,

Error in Packaging: Required handling Unit Could not be found.

Hi Experts,
I am facing one typical problem of " Required handling unit could not be found." Though the users had done the packing all the packaging related screen appears blank. And this problem is arising after some interval i.e. say for 6-7 outbound deliveries packaging related data can be viewed but suddenly for one delivery the data could not be viewed. Due to this handling unit data is missing on the packing slip and invoice. When i investigated the issue i found that no internal no are assigned to the handling units. Is it the system generated error or the transaction error i.e. packing-unpacking the material and then deleting the handling units without removing the material from handling units? Pl guide on the same.
Thanks in advance.

Ensure that
a) Number Range for Handling Units is maintained in VNKP
b) the required Packing Instruction and determination are maintained in POP1 & POF2
c) the value is maintained in material master sales:General/Plant data view against the field Packaging mat.type
thanks
