Packing Proposal in Quotation

there's an option of packing proposal in sales order in the menu extras->packing proposal. But this option is greyed out in Quotation. I need to activate this. Please help !!!
Thanks & regards
MAM.

Hi,
The controlling parameter is really sd document category , you could try changing B to C , you could see the packing proposal surfaced out , now you need to sit with an technical resource and handle this issue.
because if you change to C probably the document would behave as an order too.
thanks

Packing proposal in Sales Quotation

Good afternoon,
We are not able to create packing proposal from a sales quotation. We
discovered that it if we change the document type from quotation to
sales order it becames available. Which is the reason? It seems to be a product error.
We urgently need to use the packing proposal in the quotation.
Thanks in advance
Best regards
Mikel

Packing proposals in quotation

Hi Gurus,
i would like create packing proposals in quotation (T.C. VA21)
There's an option of packing proposal in sales order in the menu extras->packing proposal. But this option is greyed out in Quotation. I need to activate this.
Or if it's impossible, how can i do something similary in quotation?
Please help me.. it's very important...
Regards,
Alba

Hi Alba,
Including packing functinoality in Quotation is not possible.
First of all, just think of hte process. Packing should be possible only just before delivery when the materials are ready to be delivered. Until then, there is no need to pack the materials in specific way. Hence until Delivery creation, there is no need for packing the material in SAP.
During quotation, a sale even is not happening. How can packing be done, when there is no sale and hence no need for delivery.
Considering these facts, SAP has given the packing functionality only for hte applications V2 and V7 which are delivery and packing , and not for any ohter application like V1 for sales order or for V3 which is for billing.
Hope this helps you

In Sales order- Extras- packing proposal screen ,HU Sorting problem.

HI All,
In VA01/Va02/VA03 sales order screen-> Extras->packing proposal screen, handling units were shown on the basis of alphabetical sorting of packaging material field. (Handling units are getting sorted on the basis of packaging material field)
As per our requirement, we have to sort on the basis of handling unit number -EXIDV field(First field of table control ).
As it is SAP Standard screen, we have checked it in debugging and it is getting sorted on the basis of alphabetical sorting of packaging material field. Please refer the below mentioned snapshot.
In SAP Standard source code -LV51PU15,
they have written sort on VHILM(Packaging material field)
sort LT_VEKP BY SORTF VHILM VENUM EXIDV
We have tried with all Exit and BADIS. To mention a few,
BADI_HU_MAIN
In this Badi Interface IF_BADI_HU_MAIN-> SELECT method, we are not allowed to change the internal table IT_HEADER.
BADI_HU_DIALOG
BADI_HU_HUMO
BADI_HU_PACKING_ALWD
BADI_HU_AUTOPACK
BADI_HU_SAVE
BADI_HU_CHANGE_INPUT.
Enhancement component - PACKING
We are in Kernel release 640 and Software component release will be
SAP_APPL 470 0026 SAPKH47026 Logistics and Accounting
Can anybody help me in this issue?
or
Would you please suggest any new BADIS /Enhancements has been added in further release or any notes/patches have to be applied on this component(Component Name -SD-SLS) which will fulfill our requirement.
Awaiting for eveyone's Kind suggestion.

Roopvathy,
1. Did not understand the Packing status in Packing control?
2. I have maintained the Packing instruction in POP1. Only after this I maintained the determination record at the grid level in POF1.
3. I am trying the Automatic packing function in sales order. The profile for sales order(0012) is having the "Start Automatically" ticked and the Determination Procedure for Instruction is also there.
Please reply.

PAcking proposal at sales order level

Hi friends,
I have a client requirement where packing should be done at sales order level.
Anyone let me know the config steps to do it.
Thanks
Ivy

Hi,
For enabling the packing at sales order level, you need to first setup the basic packing configurations which are similar for packing at delivery level.
For automatic packing proposal, you need to have Packing instructions maintained through Txn -> POP1.
Then you need to maintain the master data for the determination of Packing instructions Txn -> POF1.
Once these settings are maintained, while creating sales order Goto -> Extras -> Packing Proposal.
System will give the default packing proposal based on packing instruction determined, which can be further used for automatic packing through Automatic packing button at header.
I hope this information will help you.
Reward points if it helps.

Harsh

BAPI for Packing proposal in Sale order

Hi,
I am currently using BAPI_HU_CREATE, BAPI_HU_PACK and WS_DELIVERY_UPDATE_2 to update packing in delivery.
Is there any BAPI to do packing proposal in sale order ? BAPI_SALESORDER_CHANGE does not have any tables for packing
Thanks

Hi,
I have already used the same BAPIs for packing and i am able to update packing in delivery using WS_DELIVERY_UPDATE.
But in case of sale orders, i can use BAPI_HU_CREATE and BAPI_HU_PACK....to pack
But what BAPI i should use to update the sale order ??? BAPI_SALESORDER_CHANGE does not have any tables to pass packing proposal data !!
Thanks

Sales order packing proposal

Hi
I am creating standard sales order with packing proposal and after saving the sales order the handling unit no is created.After crating the delivery document and Transfer order document,while packing another new handling units was created.It is not taken from the sales order packing proposal.
can any one explian what will be the problem and tell me how to process packing?
Regards
Abi

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.

Linking Sales Packing Proposal to Production Orders

Hi, I want to know if anyone has tried to use the packing proposal created in a Sales Order (VA01), to craete production orders. In this scenario, the HU numbers in the sale packing proposal will drive the creation of production orders, rather than the sales order number.
In this scenario, the packages (HU packing #) is the unit of tracking through the logistic chain, rather than the sales order #.
If no one has done this before, does anyone have any suggestions.

Hi Jayesh!
I have once worked for an implementation, were the production (order) was identified by an internal unique number ('like today in the old system').
So we created this number and put them somehow in every document from sales order, production order, deliveries up to invoice.
The nearer we got to going live, the clearer it got: this number might be good in current system, but in SAP it's nearly worthless. All the time additional search helps where necessary, the runtime was poor, just trouble. So customer added step by step SAP's key numbers to printouts, because then an easy access was possible.
There is no document flow for a HU, but for a sales order - if you use SAP, then you will anyway track the sales order.
I guess, this has to be a learning process for you (and even more for your customer), too. So before you have a prototype and can show a process, I don't expect full understanding on your customers site, but you should try.
It's something about leading - in SAP sales order is leading, but physically the HU is handled in the production. Still production is just fullfilling the sales order demand.
It's maybe a question, how close production will be connected to SAP.
If it's just an external system, in goes SAP's order, out comes the product and SAP has to book a goods issue, then HU based production is OK.
If SAP's production order contains all the steps and this is really followed with confirmations to trigger the next step, then you should make the cut (which comes with SAP implementation) and stay with SAP's key fields.

Christian

Packing materials used in packing proposal

Hey all,
Is there a FM that i can use to obtain all the packing materials that have been used in a packing proposal or any ideas on how to get this data?
You can access the packing proposal thru the transaction VA03 -> Extras -> Packing proposal -> Ttl content.
I already tried doing a trace by ST05 but it didnt show any related tables to the packing materials (materials used to pack).
Best regards,
Roberto

Not quite sure, but check MARA-VHART and MARA-MAGRV values if it helps in finding the possible packaging materials.

You can get some information on packing proposal and instruction here:
http://help.sap.com/saphelp_erp60_sp/helpdata/en/2d/584bbaa70f11d2b44e006094b9b9dd/frameset.htm
(packing instructions)
http://help.sap.com/saphelp_erp60_sp/helpdata/en/16/4bad4ea63611d2b44e006094b9b9dd/frameset.htm
(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.

Requirement transfer of packing proposal

the business process requires: after creating a sales order, we arrange the packing material for this. Then purchasing department can purchase the packing material for the material.
I wanna use the function of packing proposal in the sales order, but this cannot transfer the requirement of packing material, to use MRP and create purchasing order automatically. To acheive this, the outbound delivery must be created.
So, can the system acheive this requirement or is there any other way to meet this business?

You can meet the rreuirement by:
1. Packing materials with appropriate Item Category Group and determine the relevant item category in T.code: VOV4
2. Maintain MRP1,2,3,4 Views accordingly in T.code: MM01 for the packing material.
3. Schedule Item Category should be configured in such a way to trigger a PR in T.code: VOV5
Hope this helps

I configured packing proposal

hi,
sap gurus,
i configured packing proposal.
when i create a packing proposal in sales order level it is asking in pricing for the packing material.
when i create direct automatic packing at delivery leve it is not for pricing but when i go for billing it is
asking for pricing at billing level.
as per rule we are maintaining packing inventory also and it should not ask for pricing.
but it is asking at delivery or billing level
where i did wrong
please suggest me
regards,
balaji.t

Hi
Plz once again go thru this
Automatic packaging instructions have to be written in pop1and pof1 with standard SHIP condition record determination has to be given.
Make sure of the following settings.
1. Go to *SPRO-
2.Logistics Execution-
3.Packing-Define packaging material types-
4.Select ur packaging material type-
5.In Plant Determination -Enter Plant proposed from the packaging material*.
there are two logics regarding generation of delivery items for packaging materials. You can check those two cases in note 831204.
case I)
=====
1) you should check transaction 0184 if a delivery item category is defined for the combination of your
*delivery type +
*item category group that is defined in the material master of the packaging material (should be 'VERP' in standard) -> in case of outbound deliveries it is defined under 'Sales' view of material master, -> in case of inbound deliveries the data in field 'General Item Category Group' is relevant under 'Basic data 1' view of material master) +
*the item usage 'PACK'
AND
2) you should check your settings for the plant determination of the packaging material in tr. vhar -> this should be 'A' or 'B'
====================
OR
case II)
======
1) same as in case I)
AND
2) check tr. 0vlk if 'Gen. pack.matl item' is flagged for your delivery type
AND
3) check your settings for generating delivery items for the packaging material in tr. vhar -> this should be 'A' or 'B'
