Packing and handling units

Hi,
Please help me solve this problem.
At the truck station, when we are packing a shipment with more then 60 boxes,
the system will stall and we are forced to log off and log back on to finish the job i.e
packing boxes.
The solution i want is:
We need to ensure that we can pack more then 60 handling units in one transaction session
Please respond immediately it will be helpful to me.

Hi Friends
I created Handling Units with BAPI_HU_CREATE , Pack materials with BAPI_HU_PACK in to Handling Untis and assign handling units to sales order with BAPI_HU_CHANGE_HEADER . But These BAPIs are not doing packing sales order line items in to handling units . I have to go sales order and do sales order line item packing by clicking packing button.
Could you please help on how to do packing Sales Order Line items in the background with BAPIs.
Thanks in Advance.

PACKING AND HANDLING UNIT MANAGEMENT

HELLO GURUS,
Please help me out in handling a project consisting of Packing and HU. I want to know how it can be done in dairy products. Here in dairy, we will have two kinds of packing. One is milk into Plastic packet and the other one is packets into crates. If you give detailed customization part along with the sequence of the steps, it would be of great help. Your fast reply in this regard is highly appreciated.

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
Transaction code POP1
SAP Menu R/3 Easy Access>Logistics>Central Functions>Handling Unit Management>Master Data>Packing Instructions>Create
7. Define Packing Instructions Determination Records
Check with Material master data if the error comes. maintain material group pack matl.

Batch number is blank and not editable during packing into Handling Unit

Hi, we have an issue that the batch number (VEPO-CHARG) for delivery line item is not showing up and not editable during packing into Handling Unit through shipment transaction VT01N.
When we have a batch split for one delivery line item, we want to be able to choose which batch to be packed into each handling unit.
Does anybody know any userexit to populate that field or at least make it editable? Is there something in the configuration that make it not show up?
We tried all the SAP suggested userexit for VT01N but nothing seem to control the handling unit packing screen.
Any hint is appreciated and point will be rewarded.

you should take the ovn on the effective date. A max will not always work.
Is the max also not hiding a no data found?

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.

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.

Pack existing Handling Units into outbound delivery

Hi,
The current scenario is that a WHSCON IDoc is passed into SAP which will pack handling units onto an inbound delivery. As part of this processing the IDoc will create the HU records on VEKP.
Now, we are sending in a similar WHSCON IDoc to pack the same HU onto an outbound delivery. However, the IDoc is failing. It appears that the IDoc wants to create the HU instead of simply using the existing one.
Has anybody faced a similar issue.
Thanks
Martin

Hallo!
Yes, I have the same problem now.
In the past we had 2 wm sub systems which send data via WHSCON to SAP and pack the delivery items.
To avoid error messages we "kill" the old vekp-record by setting the vekp-status to "0099" with a hart update and create new hu records.
Nowadays this solution is not sufficient, because the old hu has serial numbers.
Any solution in sight?
bye

Sales Order Packing Proposal Handling Units Serial Numbers

Hi Guru
I am able to create SAP Sales Order Packing Proposal to pack the Line items and also Handling Units got created.
But I can not assign serial nos in to this handling Units .Serial No ICON Greyed out (Not Editable) in the Sales Order Handling Unit Screen.
Please help
Thanks
SR

Hi,
In my point view packing material should be used in the delivery document only.
Not in sales order.
Because in delivery document you can pack the material and get the handling unit number also.
So why you want it should be done at the sales order level only?
It's my point of view and it may be wrong also.
But I will prefer to use the packing material in delivery document only not in sales order.
Regards
Raj.

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.

Permitted characteristics in packing determination (handling unit manag.)

Hi all!
Does anyone know how to create new Permitted characteristics in packing determination? It is, in other terms, to add new fields in transaction OFP8 and then to use these new fields for the determination of a new combination for search key.
Thanks in advance,
Gianluca
PS: I think is something like the extension of KOMPAZ in price determination of new access sequence. But this should mean that I also need to find out the correspondent dictionary structure and the user exit

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.

Packing And HU's

Hi all,
What is the difference between Packing and Handling Units? and how to configure it.
Regards
debasish

Pls refer to this guide on Packing. I have configured using this notes, and I was successful.
HU is nothing but a packing a material which is arleady packed. Multiple hierarchies of packs is called Handling units. Even one pack also can be a handling unit.
hi,
before creating the packaging material you have to go to:
IMG-Logistics Execution-Shipping -Packing.
1. Define packaging material types- it can be anything like boxes crates, etc. in this you have to maintain the output determination procedure, output type, plant determination, packaging material category, generate delivery items, number assignment. you can copy from standard also.
2. Then go to define material group for packaging materials - here you maintain the four digit code and the description. Actually, this group is nothing but similar products which require similar packing products. For Ex. Nokia Phones all types they are basically packed first into a polythene bag. So here nokia phones can become a material group for packaging materials and polythene bag can become the packaging material type which can include different sizes and types of polythene bags.
3. Define Allowed Packaging Materials - Here you assign the shipping group for packaging materials to the packaging material type. This is related to your mterial master data of the packaging material which you create.
4. Now go to MM01 to create a packaging material. use material type as Packaging material then inside the system will take the item category group as VERP. Then in the Basic Data1 screen you have the material group for packaging material (MGPM). Slect the proper one. Now in the Sales:General/ Plant screen you have to maintain data regarding the packaging. you select the MGPM same as the basic data 1 screen, then select the packaging material type, the allowed pkh weight, allowed pkg volume. This is important because if the weight of your finished item is 2 KG and in the allowed pkg weight you enter only 1.5 KG, then while you carry out the packing process in delivery, the system will give you error," packaging weight exceeded." The assignment in the IMG creen for Define allowed packaging materials should be same as u mention in the material master. Then save your material master for packaging material.
5. VA01 create the order, save it.
6. VL01N enter shipping point, go to edit - pack- you will face a screen with 2 parts. In the top part you select your packaging material in which you want to pack your finished item, enter the system will assign a number to that material. Now select the Material in the top part and the finished one in the lower part and click on the Icon Pack. Here one thing has to be taken care of. Suppose if you want to pack only one finished item in one packaging material, then in the lower part of the screen you have a field for partial quantity here you chnge it to 1. system will prompt quantity changed. now you select the material in the top part and the one in the lower part and click on the PER PART. QTY ICON. In this way the system will pack only one finished item in a single packaging material. Packing is done go back, select the picking and do the PGI. save the delivery and create the invoice.
HANDLING UNITS.
Basically handling units come into picture when you want to carry out multi level packing. suppose you want to pack Nokia phone first into a polythene bag, then this polythene bag is again packed in to box. like that. then this box will become a handling unit. For this go to :
IMG - Logistics General - Handling Unit Mangement - Basics.
1. In basics you do the same thing as you did in the packing in logistics execution. like you create the packaging material type, then MGPm and their assignment.
2. Then go to External Identification - and maintain the number ranges forthe handling units that you want and assign the same to your pckaging material type.
3. Now that you have done everything, create the order, save it, in VL01N, enter shipping point, go to edit - pack - do the same thing as i ahve told you in the step no. 6 (above). now after doing select the PACK HUs TAB . NOW IN THIS SCREEN IN THE TOP PART YOU WILL SEE THE ALREADY PACKED MATERIAL. In that same part again select your next packaging material that is BOX. enter the system will assign the number to the BOX.
4. Now select the material which you have just entered and the materials which were already packed in the lower part of the screen and click on the ICON PACK.
This is what I know about the packing process and the handling unit. you have many things in the handling unit management whichcan be very useful for automatic packing.
HOPE I AHVE ANSWERED YOUR QUERY.
PLEASE REWARD VALUABLE POINTS IF SOLUTION FOUND USEFUL.

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.
