Packing Instruction determination procedure

How does the system determine Packing instruction determination procedure. For example Output procedeure in Sales order is determined based upon its assignment to Sales document type. Pricing procedure is determined based upon its assignment to corresponding Sales Area, Doc. pricing procedure and Cust. pricing procedure. How does Packing Instructions Procedure and packing instructions in general work.

You define a packing instruction that refers to specific characteristics, such as material and ship-to party. If you now want to pack this specific material for this specific ship-to party, the system can find the pre-defined packing instruction and use it to create one or more HU proposals that exactly fit the requirements of the customer. Packing instruction determination thus automates the packing process.
The system starts packing instruction determination when you enter a quanitity of a material to be packed and choose Pack automatically
Prerequisites:
You have created a packing instruction for packing with packing instructions.
You have made the settings for packing instruction determination in Customizing.
Customizing for packing instruction determination is preset in the standard system. However, you can extend the settings in the customer name range. You need the following for packing instruction determination:
- condition table
- access sequence
- determination type
- determination procedure.
You have also defined determination records.

  • Packing instruction determination

    Hi!
    Could anyone please tell me the ways to do packing in SD?
    I set the Packing Material & Finished Good's Material Master's Packing related information and then create in DN, and do packing, I could create Handling Units.
    And the handling units split is do according to the Allowed Weight I set in the Material Master.
    Then I wonder what is the use of Packing Instructions (POP1) and also the Packing Determination (POF1)?
    Where in the Customizing control which Packing Determination Procedure is using?
    And if a Packing Instruction is found, then how the system control the Handling Unit split? By the Packing Instruction or by the "Allowed Weight" information in Material Master?
    Thanks in advance!
    Best Regards,
    Chris

    hi Chris,
    here are several ways in which you can access the packing transaction. The transaction is integrated in delivery, goods receipt, shipping, repetitive manufacturing and discrete production.
    Features
    In the packing transaction, you can:
    •     Create HU proposals (automatically from packing instructions or manually by entering items). You create an HU proposal manually if you do not want to pack according to packing instructions. You build a hierarchy of load carrier, auxiliary packing materials, if required, and the materials to be packed. For more information, see
    Hierarchical Display in the Packing Transaction.
    •     Select alternative packing instructions on which to base HU proposals
    •     Delete HU proposals (that is, unpack materials)
    •     Unpack nested HU proposals
    •     Repack unpacked materials and unpacked HU proposals
    •     Check HU proposals. To do this, the system simulates handling unit creation. The system cannot create handling units from HU proposals with the status "Faulty".
    •     Display handling units that the system is going to create from the proposals
    •     Recalculate weights and volumes of a handling unit. This is important if the measurements in the proposal have been modified manually in the packing transaction and now have to be reset to the values from the packing instruction or material master
    •     Create handling units
    The Level 1 field in the table specifies the number of HUs on the highest packing level that are being created from the HU proposal. The system marks with an asterisk the items that are assigned to this HU proposal, that is, are either used on the highest packing level (packaging materials) or are packed on the highest level (packed goods or sub-HU).
    If the item is a load carrier, the field Level 2 specifies the number of subordinate HUs on the second packing level, per main HU. For all other item categories, the system uses an asterisk to show which items are packed in or on the load carrier of this subordinate HU.
    All further packing levels are displayed in the same way.
    Material-Euro-palletIntermediate layerPallet coverboxLidFinished product.
    Ten sub-HUs (the boxes) are shown on the second packing level, to which in turn lids and finished products are assigned.

    This is done automatically:

  • About Packing Instructions for Outbound Delivery

    Hi Experts,
    I've created a Packing Instruction (POP1 + POF1) for a Material 123456, using the Key Combination Material/Plant.
    How can I use those Instructions into VL02n ?
    Any idea?
    Regards,
    David

    HI David,
    Check whether you have maintained the required config under the following settings.
    Logistics - General>Automatic Packing>Determination of Packing Instructions
    If you have maintained the procedure as well as the necessary condition records in POF1 for your determination type maintained in your determination procedure, then you can use the Automatic Packing Icon in the delivery to make use of your POP1 & POF1.
    You can find the Auto-Pack Icon by clicking the packing button in the delivery.
    Hope it helps.

  • Difference between tax determination procedure and pricing procedure....

    Hi,
    What is the use of Tax determination procedure when we maintain tax condition types in pricing procedure.(and condition records will pick the correct tax rates).
    My question is that, can we trigger an o/p tax without maintaining a tax procedure at document type level?If yes then what is the basic use of tax determination procedure in SAP?

    Tax procedure is being used in the Country Version India Add-On and requires to maintain additional data in the Excise Rate Maintenance transaction, J1ID. Each of the excise duties in the tax Procedure Tax procedure has its own condition types, and each condition type is assigned to a formula in the standard SAP. This formula instructs the system to calculate the excise duty using the data that have been maintained in the Excise Rate Maintenance transaction.
    FTXP for a country is determine from TAX procedure assign to the country.

  • Using one packing instruction for several materials

    Dear Friends,
    I need some inputs on how to use one packing instruction for several materials.
    The scenarion here is :
    Many materials are packed in a similar way. If certain materials differ in only one characteristic (for example, construction), having to maintain a packing instruction for each of them results in a considerable time and efforts.
    Need some valuable inputs to complete this requirement.
    Regards,
    Harsh

    Hi.
    Try with reference material for packing (MARA-RMATP). Same material number must be entered on all materials which are packed through same packing instructions.
    Then you have to create/use access sequence for determination of packing instructions that contains that characteristic (RMATP).
    Best regards

    Hi Sreenivas,
    Partner determination use
    In this activity, you define the rules that should be used to perform automatic partner determination.                                                                               
    1.  Define the partner functions that differentiate the roles of    
         partners in your system.                                                                               
    2.  Define the partner determination procedure, and assign the key of the relevant partner object to this Procedure.                                                                               
    3.  Assign the partner functions you define to the account groups.    
    Output Determination Purpose

    Texts Purpose in Sales and Distribution
    In a business relationship, it is essential that business partners exchange information throughout the logistics chain. In sales and distribution, this exchange of information is supported by texts in master records and documents. You can maintain these texts for one particular customer or define them so that they can be used more flexibly.
    Texts can be used in many areas of sales and distribution:
    Sales notes for customers
    Sales texts for materials
    Explanations in order confirmations
    Shipping instructions in deliveries
    You can define as many text types as you require (sales texts, shipping texts, internal notes, supplement texts etc.) for master records and documents.
    You can take the settings for the texts from Sales and Distribution Customizing under Text control.
    Delivery split
    Regarding Delivery split you can control through copy control routines in the VTLA transaction.
    I hope it will help you,
    Regards,
    Murali.

  • Packing proposal & packing instruction

    Hi Guru's,
    what is difference between packing proposal & packing instruction? Is it necessary to mention packing instruction in packing proposal? can we create nested HU in packing instuction ? If yes, could u pls. elaborate  step on this .

    You can get some information on packing proposal and instruction here:

    (packing proposal)
    The proposal can be made even without the instructions. But it does help automate the process.
    The packing proposal can be made manually when processing a handling unit. If an instruction is maintained, the proposal gets created automatically.
    You can create a packing proposal using TCode POP1.
    Subordinate packing instructions can be used to create instructions for nested packing elements.
    Please go through the documentation, you will get a clearer idea.

  • Packing Instruction - Scales

    Hello,
    I have a question concerning packing instructions for outbound deliveries.
    I have a material that is to be packed in an envelope if one piece is shipped.
    If however 10 pieces are to be shipped, the material should be packed directly into a carton (without passing by the envelope).
    How can I implement this kind of scales using automatic packaging with packing instructions? I only see the possibility of creating packing hierarchies but no scaling.
    Thanks a lot for your answer

    Hello Kaushik,
    I did put an alternative packing instruction in the determination but the system does not take it into account.
    The first instruction is to put 1 piece into 1 envelope (min. quantity 1)
    The alternative instruction is to put 10 pieces into 1 carton (min. quantity 10)
    When I try to execute  automatic packaging in the outbound delivery with 10 pieces, the system only takes into account the first instruction and packs the 10 pieces in 10 separate envelopes.
