Packing Material Functionality

Dear All,
Description of Scenario:
I have BOM for FG(Finished Goods) with RM(Raw material) and PM(Packing Material), where Packing Material Being BOX.
In BOX we can pack 15 nos of FG, thus in BOM the quantity of BOX would be (1/15 = 0.067) to manufacture 1 nos of FG
But the production is not fixed to manufacture for 15 nos always, they can manufacture 5nos n pack in ONE BOX, thus when I do my receipt from production BOX consumed would be (5/15 = 0.333) wherein it supposed to be consumed ONE BOX.
How can I tackle this scenario.
Thanks in Advance.
Regards.

Hi,
We created a FMS which is working as we required.
Thanks Again.

Packing material in inbound delivery - intercompagny process with SPED

Hi,
I am processing intercompany stock transfer using SPED functionality, with automatic creation of inbound delivery.
Using HUM and WM storage location managed, I would like to add automatic packing material items in inbound delivery.
What I did already check:
1. there is a plant in HU (packing material type in transaction VHAR; plant determination: B).
2. there is an item category in HU (transaction 0184; following entry: EL / "blank" / PACK / / ELP -> Inbound delivery type EL, packing material has general item category group "blank" , then I expect item cat ELP in inbound delivery).
With these settings, automatic creation of inbound delivery does not work anymore: output SPED failed. Error message is VN056:
"Processing log for program /SPE/STO_ID_PROCESSING routine STO_ID_CREATION". When I check output analysis, it is mentioned for SPED : "Output ignored (requirement 408 not fulfilled)".
I also tried with following setting:
transaction 0184; delete previous setting; add following entry: EL / VERP / PACK / / ELP -> Inbound delivery type EL, packing material with general item category group VERP.
In that case, automatic inbound delivery creation OK but no packing material in it.
Any idea to help me?
Thanks in advance.

A few years ago I got some help that got some Inbound delivery functionality working, but it was never put into production.
1. Receiving storage location specified on the STO.
2. Receiving points set up in the receiving plant: IMG > Logistics Execution > Shipping > Basic Shipping Functions > Shipping Point & Goods Receiving Point Determination > Assign Goods Receiving Points for Inbound Deliveries.
3. On packaging material to be used the assigned packaging material group should coincide with the IMG setting of the packaging material type assigned to the packaging material group.
4. Assigned movement type 101 to the DIGN item category: IMG > Logistics Execution > Shipping > Basic Shipping Functions > Deliveries > Define Item Categories for Deliveries
Other settings but not mandatory
1. In delivery copying control assigned source NL to target DIG: IMG > Logistics Execution > Shipping > Basic Shipping Functions > Deliveries > Copying Control > Specify Copy Control for Deliveries > Define Item Categories for Deliveries
2. Make packing control mandatory for item category DIGN: IMG > Logistics Execution > Shipping > Basic Shipping Functions > Deliveries > Packing > Packing Control by Item Category
3. HUM Required for Plant/Storage Location: IMG > Logistics General > Handling Unit Mgmt > Basics > Technical Basics > Materials Mgmt > Inventory Mgmt > HU Requirement for Storage Locations
In our process the HU was already created in the Outbound delivery for the STO. These HU were then copied to the Inbound delivery. It still works in our DEV client, but it's not being used. Hope it helps.

Packing Material delivery item should not be send via EDI

Hello experts,
I am having a problem with a cross company process. One plant uses the automatic delivery item generation of packing material because they want to have them in stock. But the receiving plant does not have them in stock. So, what we did, we created new packing materials for example 8500 and 1500 for a euro palett.
And on the EDI server we swith the packing material of the HU from 8500 to 1500, which works well.
But the problem is the delivery item of the packing material which should not be adviced to the receiving plant.
Do you know any User-Exit or customizing functionality in order to send only the real materials to the receiving plant?
I use the SPED message as well as DESADV Idocs where I need to cut the packing materials.
Thank you.
Manuel
Because nobody answered yet: Can you tell me if this idea does make sense or if I should follow another way?
Has nobody yet had this same problem?

I come to know from thread you do not need packing item in your stock.We did similar kind of packing process in our system.
Our process also Cross company scenario .We have two SAP system .In one system they issue goods through an outbound delivery with packing information against SO.We will use the Goods issue information from other system to create Inbound delivery in other system.
In the EDI file they send to us Pallet and Carton information along with file .So what we did we have created two packing articles ,One for carton and other one Pallet and these Values are maintained in TVARV table.
We have used DESADV/DELVRY07 idoc to create inbound delivery.PI Creates the Inbound delivery Idoc with HU information from other system ,While posting the inbound delivery we used our packing articles to pack the Inbound delivery items.

Please tell me which table i can found that material with HU (Box) no.

Hi
Try this function module HU_GET_HUS.
In the ET_ITEMS table you will get all the child items.
If the child item ET_ITEMS-MATNR is having value means, that is the lowest level.
If you are looking specifically for tables means, you will get the details in VEKP and VEPO table.

Error while mainatining packing material in POP1 transaction

Hi,
We are mainatined the 'determination of packing instructions'. I have created a VERP material and a FERT material. When i try to create packing instructions using POP1 transaction for this material i get an error message ' Material is not a packing material (Loading equipment)'. I am sure that the material i am using is a Verp material.
I would like to know if i am missing any master data setting or customization settings. Any inputs in resolving this issue will be of great help.
Thanks,
Harish

Hi,
In the fisrt line item enter the packaging material and in the second line item enter the material that means
Item catergory "P" - Packaging material
Item catergory "M" - Material (Which is to be packed1)
If you give in reverse way you will get the error message what you have maintioned.

Stock Transfer of Returnable Packing Material - CRATE

Dear Sap gurus,
This process involve into a dairy industry,
They sell of fresh milk pdoduct like Chaach, Paneer & Shrikhand at Manufacturing plant as well as Parlours .
Now, as per the business process, my client wants to do stock transfer of these products along with CRATE (material type LEIH for Returnable packaging). to their Parlours. Next day crates will be return to the plant.
My question is when i am doing normal sales to customer my returnable packaging material process working fine as per standard SAP Process but in case of stock transfer of crate - line item doesn't display at the time of delivery:
Now my client will have track record of how much qty of crates they have given to their Parlours.
Right now we went ahead considering the scenario & the process is:
1) ME21N --- Create PO with2 line items as milk Product & crate
2) VL10B --- Put PO number and Create Delivery in background
3) VL02N --- Delivery created with ONLY 1 line ie milk and NO CRATE line item.
4) MIGO
So the major issues in this are:
1) During Delivery creation, the material crate should appear automatically as a separate line item.
2) The Parlour should be able to do GR for this crate .
Please suggest, the configuration to be done.
Thanks & Regards
Prashant Ray

Hi Prashanth,
This is std feature in returnable packaging scenario & very well achievable with Config.
In your case, you are not able to get the ret. packing line item in STO delivery.
Which means, Delivery item category determination is missing.
To populate packing material in a seperate line item, you need to check the below settings-
- in Packing material type ( Tx:VHAR) - Plant determination field should be = B -Determine Plant from first line item
- Tx:0184 - maintain
Delivery type + Item Cat Group + usage + heigherr leve item cat = Def item cat
eg: NL + LEIH + PACK = HUPM
- Packing material should exist in respective sales org & dist channel which is available in Delivery - Header - Adminstration tab
- in Delivery, after packing- select the "additional data" tab in packing screen, item category should be displayed, if its blank. line item will not be displayed
Test & revert.
Its tested scenario & working fine.

Packing Material with Batch Management and Shelf life expiration date check

Dear All,
          I created a packing material and activated batch managemnt with shelf life.
            At the time of GR the batch should be created automatically or if i want to create a batch manually for some materials how to do it in the system.
                     Help me

Before going ahead with the batch creation,
you need to activate the batch mngmnt level (i.e.Client,plant,material level)
And also activate the Nor.ranges.
Then Create the Classification,Characteristics and assign the Chrctstics to Class.
Then create the batch
T Code:
CT04 create Char.

Packing more than one items in single packing material.

Dear All,
I require to pack more than one material in a single packing material. The requirement is as below.
there are 5 item lines of different materials say A,B,C,D & E each having quantity of 500.
Now I have to pack these material in a box such that 10 qty of each material (A,B,C,D & E) is packed in single box. Making total number of boxes to 50.
Please help.
thanx in advance,
Anup

Dear Anup,
Please try below steps
1)Goto VL02N to change the delivery, you already created.
Or you can do the following steps while you are creating a delivery also.
2)Go to "pack" icon.
3)In the upper section, enter the "packing material"
4)In the lower section, change the "partial quantity" to 10 for material A.
5)Select both the lines of upper section and lower section and click the green ok. It generates a shipping unit/handling unit number.
6)Now, select both lines of upper & lower section & click the button "per part. qty" (New HU per part qty of material)
Check: click "General Overview" icon to see whether it packed 10 pieces of material in 5 cartons.
You can repeat the same process for Material A, B, C, D and E.
Hope this helps
Thanks

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.

Packing Material

Hi All,
We want to maintain stock of packing material in the system with no connection to Cost Of Goods Sold.
I tried following in the test database.
Created a warehouse to hold stock.
Created an Item as inventory in the item master.
Allocated newly created warehouse to the item and set it as default.
There is already a G/L Account Packing Material Under Expenditure -
> Purchase Accounts.
This account gets into picture when we book a service invoice for Packing Material.
In order to maintain the stock
I punched a receipt when packing material comes in , at Zero value.
And I punched an issue when it is consumed , at zero value.
Is this the valid try ?
How do i check any other related things ?
Thanks
Malhaar

Hi,
Is this the valid try ?
You can always give the scenario a try and see the results. Modifications to best possible process can only be done when you have a scenario tested.
How do i check any other related things ?
1) Check for the related authorization for the Goods Reciept and Goods issue so that any mistake in terms of entering value is avoided.
2) Check for the effect, if any value is entered for the price/cost in Goods Receipt and Goods Issue.
3) Check all the Inventory related reports and also whether the values, amounts etc appear correctly.
You can check these things as well.

Guide me . Where is the setting for that .
Thanks In Advance .

Abhijit ...............

Dear Abhijit
For Packing materials, you need to ensure certain criterias.
Please check the following:-
1) Go to *VHAR,* you create the packing material type say carton
2) In IMG -- Logistics-Execution --> Shipping --> Packing --> Define Material Group for Packaging Material. Here create a group, say PACK
3) Choose the next- Define Allowed Packaging Materials. Here for Material Group PACK, assign carton (as stated in point 1)
4) Now create packing material in material master with type VERP and also Item Category Group VERP.
5) In Sales: General/Plant tab, you need to maintain the following
             a) for Matl Grp Pack.Matls   as PACK
             b) Packaging mat. type        as Carton
             c) Allowed Pkg weight
Save the master. Now while creating delivery, after selecting Goto -- Pack, ensure that you block both the "Pack material" and "Material to be Packed". Once you do this, click on "Pack" which is above Material to be packed (left top). Once clicked the pack button, system will show a message material packed. Now select "Back" button so that you will come to the main screen of delivery.
Now do pgi and check the stock of packing material. The stock will get reduced to the extent of you posted goods issue.
thanks

Dear Shekar,
It may be happening based on the copy control settings between your delivery type and invoice type so,
Go to transaction VTFL there you selcet your delivery type and invoice type then go to the item details of the copy control here you can find the field Copying requirements for standard iten it should be filled with 004 routine
But in your case check what routine assigned then take ABAPer help to find the logic,If you want to change the logic you can change in VOFM transaction with ABAPer help.
I hope it will help you

Murali.
