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.

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

If you give in reverse way you will get the error message what you have maintioned.

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.

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 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.

Thanks In Advance .
Regards,
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.

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

Packing Material returned back to inventory

Hi,
Our client uses standard costing for all materials. We have a scenario where material is packed in drums. The drums are then returned back into inventory as the material is despatched to the customer packed in a different form. A drum rate per pound of production is loaded into the standard cost of the packed material. The problem now is that the inventory of the used drum is in a balance sheet account while the credit for drum cost on production goes to the P&L account. Is there some method by which only that portion of the drum cost on production can be credited to a reserve account?
I was thinking i could apply an overhead rate on the packed material and credit it to an internal order and end of month settle to a balance sheet account. But overhead cannot be provided on output, rather it is based on input. is there some way by which I could use template allocation to credit an order andd debit the production order? Or is there some other better method?
Thanks,
Shivram

Hi
I myself never used it, but I know it can be used to allocate OH based on Output....
refer this thread for more details... Re: Activity Type Planning on the basis of Raw materials
Moreover, I would prefer to use a work around as below, which I used in a similar scenario
1. Convert the Drums into Fixed Asset... The FA recon account can be "Inventory of Drums".. Dont club this account under FA in your Financial St Version in FI
2. Assign a Manual Dep Key in this asset masters... i.e. You can manually post the Depreciation of these assets as per your choice
3. Post this entire dep into one cost center... Later on allocate it to the Prod orders or absorb it as an overhead using costing sheet
To make it more simpler, assign an activity type "PRDQTY" in your Routing.... This PRDQTY will record your Prod Qty....
The Activity Qty of this PRDQTY will be equal to your Base Qty of the routing.... So, whatever output you confirm on the Prod order in CO11N, the same amount of Act Qty will also get confirmed
Then calculate the Act Price for this act type which will be Depreciation amount for wear n tear / Prod Qty.... THIS IS EXACTLY WHAT YOU WANT!!

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.

Movement type for customer supplied packing material returns

Hi,
The scenario is like this,customer will give the packing material to the company.Company does the service required & return that packing material to customer.Presently we are using 624V movement type can you suggest some other movement type for this.
Regards,
Rajesh

hi,
this is to inform you that,
if customer is supplying the packaging material to us receive it through 501 - M and Issue 502 - M, manually if you want to track the packing material wise take the material into NON VALUATED ITEM.
you can create a Z report for the same and the fields in that is,
material number, packing material associated with that, quantity received thru 501 - M and consumed against 502 - M and GI quantity.
