Packaging material of varying size

UOM of my material say x is each. And they are manufactured in lots depending on order. During shippment they are packed some times in cartoons and some times in guinea bags.Also depending on the available cartoon size no of material packed can vary. Please help me in mapping all this.

Hi friend,
you can use the UOM conversion by using the Additional data tab in Material master
there you can define the Alternate UOM.
Thanks Satya

Packaging material in REM

Hai gurus,
In rem scenario, that is in a whisky manufacturing company whose final product is bottles of various sizes
and these bottles as kept in carton boxes which is similar to all sizes.
so a carton boxes is final packing material which will have partion strips based on varying sizes of bottles.
EG: For 12 number of 700 ml bottle in a carton box - 5 strips is used
       For 24 number of 350 ml bottle in a carton box - 6 strips is used
       For 42 number of 175 ml bottle in a carton box - 9 strips is used.
Additionally packing roll,clips and qc label is used.
How to configure this packing material, my final product is whisky bottles of sizes 700/350/175 ml.and bom
is bottle,labels, cap,rectified spirit.
regards,
sekar chand.

Hi Chand,
I suggest you can a have a new more material number above the Whisy Botttle 700 ml. which can have Whicky Bottle 700 ml as a child material and similarly for 350 and 175 ml.
Ex :
For 700 ml whisky bottles your BOM items can be as follows :
0010        700ml Whisky Bottle          12 nos
0020        Carton Box                         1 no
0030         Packing Strip                     5 nos.
0040         Packing Roll                       X nos
0050         Clips                                 X nos
For 350 ml whisky bottles your BOM items can be as follows :
0010        350ml Whisky Bottle          24 nos
0020        Carton Box                         1 no
0030         Packing Strip                     6 nos.
0040         Packing Roll                       X nos
0050         Clips                                 X nos
For 175 ml whisky bottles your BOM items can be as follows :
0010        350ml Whisky Bottle          42 nos
0020        Carton Box                         1 no
0030         Packing Strip                     9 nos.
0040         Packing Roll                       X nos
0050         Clips                                 X nos
Hope this will help you.

Limits for packaging Material

How Do I set Limit for packaging Material.
For eg: Packaging Material PALLET should only contain
50 units or less .

Hi
After production order creation or release run the COMAC transaction with all VERP materials or with MRP controller selection as well
In mass processing - material availability check select scope of process. you can create variant here and schedule back ground job
after execution see the missing parts list with reqmt qty, committed qty and shortage in CO24 TCode

How to enter a returnable packaging material during inbound delivery?

Hi,
How do you add a returnable packaging material from vendor as a line item in the inbound delivery? When I try to add a LEIH type material as a line item in the inbound delivery (VL32N), the following error is displayed:
"No item category exists (Table T184L EL VERP ELP)"
Thanking you in advance,
Sreelakshmi

HI.
Please reffer the below link.
ERROR : No item category exists (Table T184L LB VERP )
Error while creating I/B delivery: No item category exists (Table T184L EL)
1) EL = is the delivery type you are using for Returns to Vendors
2) VERP = is the Item Category Group in the material master of
3) ELP= Item Usage
You have to add the missing configuration as follow:

Packaging material is not appearing in the Goods receipt of STPO

Dear All,
We are currently dealing one Roll-Out project for one multinational company. In that from sales side, one of the main processes defined is u201CStock Transport Purchase Order processu201D. As a regular process, outbound delivery document also created with ref to STPO.
As per the client requirement the u201CPackaging materialu201D needs to be added as additional line item in the delivery to calculate the packaging cost. This packaging material is a "Stockable and Valuated" material. So while performing the PGI the stock will get reduced from SD side.
The problem is, using this same STPO delivery document the Goods receipt is planned to do in the another side of company code. while doing the Goods receipt system is displaying only the "Finished Product" only. The packaging material is not displaying while doing the goods receipt in the another company code.
due to this we are not able to complete our test cycle.
so we need the expert opinion to solve this issue.
if the packaging material is added as additional line item while doing Goods receipt then, the problem is solved.
Kindly suggest us...
Regards,
MANI
frWe have customized that also and now u201CPackaging materialu201D is adding as a new line item in the delivery document as a non valuated material.
But the issue is, the Billing type u201CZICu201D is not getting determined while creation of billing if u201CPackaging materialu201D is added as a new line item. If u201CPackaging materialu201D is not added as a line item then, billing type is getting determined automatically without any issue.
We have checked in LIKP table, its containing the billing type as u201CZICu2019. But if packaging material is added then, the billing type determination is not happening.
We are assuming that some customizing needs to be done from MM/SD point of view. I am seeking the experts help regarding this issue to solve the problem.
Regards,
MANI

Dear Friends,
Thanks for the Feedback.
Even though it is a associated company, in one company code the packaging material stock was reduced and packed for the STPO shipment.
After receiving the consignment, in the receiving company code they will perform the goods receipt with ref to "Outbound Delivery" document.
Since in the outbound delivery document "Packaging material" also available. So as a business strategy we are expecting the same "packaging material" also should available for goods receipt.
I hope i have explained with max of my knowledge to clear your doubt.

Urgent:Material Type for Packaging Material in WM and MM

Hi
There is a place in SPRO where i can define the material type for packaging.
Logistics - General -> Handling Unit Management -> Basics -> Define Packaging Material Types
How can i create a material using this material type? What is the use of material type here?
Whenever i create material in MM01/MM41, i get the standard material type list.
Thanks & REgards
Kapil

Hi,
In T.code: OMS2, you can get standard material type list.VERP is the standard material type for packing material.You can copy VERP and rename to ur material type( as it is ur business requriement or else u can use same VERP)
What is the use of material type here?
With the help of ur Material Type , u can craete material like The material type,will be used while defining the material
master.At that time,in Tcode:MM01,first screen we need to
mention,(material type)it show the nature of material
ex:-engineering product,finished products,semifinished
product,etc.,
It also play vital role on material numbering,material type in comination with plant & valuation class, play vital role in inventory & accoputning.
To Create Material,use t. Code: MM01,
Step-1
Enter Material Code: ( example-Polythene Bag, If External Number Range or leave it blnak)
Enter Industry Sector: ...................
Enter Material Type: ..........................(VERP- Packing)
Step-2
Select
Views you required( like eample:basic data-1, like basic data-2,purachsing, purchase order text,General plant data, accounting-1, accounting-2 etc)
Step-3
Enter Plant,
Enter Storage location
{{{Enter Sales organization & Distribution channel(if sales view selected)}}}
Step-4
You will have views like (example-1, basic data, enter Base unit of measure, material group and other details as required field,example-2,Accounting data, enter valuation class, price control; S or V & price)
Step-5
Save.
Note: Before creation material you must know which Industry Sector, Material Type ur going to use and material numbering is internal or external.

Error in update of packaging material data in mat. master

Hi all ,
Actually , when I was going to update the packaging material information in material master , that time noticed whole parameters - blank spaces / attributes of the packaging material data area is not showing . Why it behaves as ? ...
regards
arghya

This just tells me that you do not even know the basics of a material type.
SAP does not check the material type name, VERP and ROH is nothing else than a couple characters from the alphabet (in German language they even make some sense). You can create your own material type HUXX for handling units and if it is correctly setup then it will work.
How long do you consider yourself as a newcomer? you have registered in 2010. You started with SD, then MM (were all your questions got rejected because you failed to search) and now Logistics Execution (by the way I am moderator here too). And everywhere you were told to use Google to search prior to posting. Spend more time to increase the skills on searching, this gets you more benefits on the long run.
And in the 5th year with SAP and SCN you should at least know how to report an issue. If you have an error message, then tell the exact message along with the message number. Saying the setup is properly and then complaining that the system is asking for something else does not help to solve the issue, as it it just reflects your assumption but does not tell any facts.
If everything would be properly setup, then you would not have an issue. Does that sound logical?
Start from wikis like that Logistics General Handling Unit Introduction - ERP SCM - SCN Wiki
or from help.sap.com, just search with this string in google: sap best practices handling unit management

Regarding:Return process of Packaging material to Vendor

Dear SAP Experts,
When we purchase consumables material it come in packaging material from vendor.
Then we send packaging material back to vendor.But this process is mannual.
Now we want this process by system.
Please help to configure this procedure in my system.
With Regards
Mukul Kumar

hI,
I hope you are looking for packaging instruction for vendor.
As vendor will send the materiel in packaging and after delivering the material will take back the packaging material. if this is yes. Then it can be deal with Handling unit the benefit you would have of this is, harmonized way of packaging the material. And even you can create packaging instruction to vendor with weight and seize of the product .
Configuration as below for handling unit.
Go to SPRO> Logistics - General>Handling Unit Management--step1)>Define Packaging Material Types
Step 2) Define Material Group for Packaging Materials-
Step 3) Define Allowed Packaging Materials- By assigning packaging material types to the material groups for packaging materials, you define which packaging materials are allowed for packing.
Step 4) Use Handling Unit Supplements
SPRO> Logistics - General>Handling Unit Management>External Identification>Set Unique Number Assignment for HU Identification--It is only possible to indicate a storage location as HU-managed if you have set this indicator. The use of non-assigned handling units without unique number assignment is not supported
Step 2) Number Range Maintenance for HU Identification--You can maintain number ranges for number assignment for handling unit identification via number range intervals which is consists of 9 digits without overlapping
step 3) SSCC Generation Acc to EAN128
3 a) Maintain Number Range Object for SSCC-- Number range object "LE_SSCC" is provided with interval "01" and a 9-digit number length. Create the number range objects and intervals necessary for your organization and country dependent.
3 b) Maintain SSCC Generation for Each Plant / Storage Location-
4) SPRO> Logistics - General>Handling Unit Management>Automatic Packing> Packing Instructions Master Data-->Define Number Ranges for
Packing Instructions.
All your setting is in place
Then go to POP1 to create packaging instruction.
And maintain determination record using POF1 with key combination as vendor /Plant/ material, for condition type RCPT For incoming material & SHIP-Ship to party material.
Or even you can send back the returnable packaging material by using 501M > MIGO>Other Movt type--> 501M.
Hope this clear.

Problem with Packaging Material Type

Hello all Gurus,
I have a problem with a packaging material type that I have created copying the standrad Packaging material type LEIH. I created a new packing material type ZPAC - Packaging Material copying LEIH.
I then created a new material master record using this new material type ZPAC.
When I am using this material for packing in outbound delivery document - VL01N, I am getting the following strange error message:
20333 does not have packaging material type and is therefore not a pack.mat.
Please suggest me why this error is coming and how I can rectify this error. Is there any further configuration that I need to do for packaging material types??? Kindly suggest.
Thanks and Regards,
Umakanth.

Hi,
Material type is not enough, you have to maintain proper master data as well as config.
At least please maintain value in MARA-VHART for the packaging material. Please also check these links how HUM works:

Material type for Vendors Returnable packaging material

Dear all,
I have a scenario where in i am recieving co2 gas from my vendor against a PO.
He is supplying it with cylinders i want to keep track of the cylinders and afetr using the gas want to return the cylinder to vendor.
Now the doubt arises, under which material type should I create this cylinder.
Doubt 1
I thougt of creating under the material type : LEIH, but this material type also contains the purchasing, accounting, sales view and same time in the config of the material type LEIH, value updating is not ticked, which is making me confuse.
Doubt 2
What I felt is, LEIH should be used for the our owns company returnable packaging material , which will go to the customer , but again for this also, these material should be valuated, since they belongs to our own stock , so why in standard SAP, value updation is not there.
Doubt 3
Keeping above 2 points in mind, what should be material type for vendor's returnable packaging material , where I want only qty tracking.
Regards
Nitin

You can copy LEIH and create your own Materia Type say ZLEI. For this material type you can have only General Plant / Storage Data1 view enabled.
Remember, there are 2 materials here:
1. Gas
2. Returnable packaging (cylinder)
You can receive gas on unit basis if you dont want exact tracking (ie in KG). Use any procurement material type.
When you create the PO only mainitan Gas as the material.
When you do the goods receipt against this PO, Click on RTP button, this will create a new line item, automatically and will suggest movement type 501+M. Here enter the no. of cylinders.
You will be able to track the movement of cylinders.

Loading COBOL file - blocked variable records and varying size arrays

We would like to use ODI 11g to regularly to parse and load into Oracle DB 11g complex files that originate on the MVS mainframe.
Key file characteristics are:
1. EBCDIC encoding
2. file contains blocked records - each block starts with a 4-byte Block Descriptor Word (BDW). BDW bytes 1-2 specify the block length stored as a 16-bit unsigned integer, i.e. PIC (5) COMP in COBOL.
3. each file block contains multiple variable size records - BDW is followed by 1 or more variable length records. Each record starts with a 4-bytes Record Descriptor Word (RDW). RDW bytes 1-2 specify the record length stored as 16 bit unsigned integer, i.e. PIC (5) COMP in COBOL.
4. each file record contains number of scalar fields and several varying-size arrays - COBOL OCCURS DEPENDING ON. For example:
03 SAMPLE-ARRAY-CNT PIC S9(1) COMP-3.
03 SAMPLE-ARRAY OCCURS 0 TO 5 TIMES DEPENDING ON SAMPLE-ARRAY-CNT.
05 ARRAY-CD1 PIC X(5).
05 ARRAY-CD2 PIC X(7).
05 ARRAY-AMOUNT PIC S9(3)V9999 COMP-3.
5, file contains fields stored as COBOL COMPUTATIONAL and COMPUTATIONAL-3.
6. average record lengh is 1,000 bytes and each file is about 4GB
SQL*Loader/external table functionality can handle most of these requirements on one-off basis, but collectively they present a significant challenge. The file layout can't be reversed engineered as COBOL copybook into ODI.
Does ODI have complex file parsing capabilities that could be used to (pre-)process the file, in as few passes as possible?
Thanks

Hi,
there's a couple of options here, and I've included what I think is the simplest below (using TestStand 2.0.1).
It's not exactly elegant though. What I've done is to put in a step that finds out the number of steps to load (based on an earlier decision - in this case a message popup step). I read a number from the limits file, and use this in the looping options of the property loader step that's loading the values into the array. I've done it with a fixed size array target here, big enough to take any incoming data. (Otherwise, knowing how many items you're going to load from the limits file, you could start with an empty array and re-size it prior to loading).
I've cheated slightly by using the pre-expression on the property loader step to specify where th
e data is coming from and where it's going to in the sequence on each iteration of the loop based on the Runstate.Loopindex.
Another option is to go straight into the property loader step, and keep loading properties until the Step.Result.NumPropertiesRead = 0 (remember we're only doing this one at a time)
Another idea would be to load in a value, and check it isn't a "flag" value (i.e. you'd never use say 999 in your array, so set the last element in your limits file to this, and drop out of the loop when this happens.
Further still, you've got the source code for the property loader step, so you could re-write it to make a custom step that loads an array until it fails all on its own (no looping in TestStand).
Hope this gets you going

Handling unit/ Packaging material

Hello,
I have a question in handling/packing materials.
I have configured packaging materials and groups right, and assigned it properly to my warehouse.
But when I provide the information regarding packaging material in HU02, it says
"XXX (Packaging material) does not have packaging material type and is therefore not a pack.mat."
Can anyone suggest what to do now ?

Hello Srinivas,
Hello Mr. Adrift,
Firstly, I like my original name ;-).
Thanks for udpates.
Can you brief me various interactions of RF in warehouse management
Benefits of the Integrated RF Solution
By integrating RF devices into the SAP System, users can realize significant cost savings and productivity gains in many areas of information processing. The following are just a few of the benefits that RF computing with the SAP System has to offer:
Extended Usability
With the integrated RF connection, previously unreachable users can now take advantage of the Logistics Execution functions. This new access expands the availability of SAP applications throughout the warehouses, distribution centers, and shipping and receiving docks.
Increased Accuracy
Each data entry error is recognized immediately by the SAP System. RF computing devices thus enhance the quality of data in the system.
Data Availability
Timely entry of information into the SAP System and direct access to accurate business data lead to more efficient operational decisions. This increases the information value and speeds up the decision-making process through the continuous link between front-line and back-office applications.
Reduced Training Requirement
RF-enabling applications minimize the need for training. RF devices are front-end devices, that is, automated data-entry devices linked to the SAP System. Consequently, the user can become productive in a short period of time and with minimal training. This is especially important for warehouses that frequently use temporary staff during peak periods.
