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.

Raj.

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

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

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

Create and Pack Handling Units in the Sales Order Using HU_CREATE_ONE_HU

Hello Experts,
I am trying to use HU_CREATE_ONE_HU function module to create a handling unit and pack it with specific line items in the sales order program in the background. I am able to create the handling unit and pack it but it does not get associated to the sales order / line item. If you look at the sale order's packing proposal, it does not show it packed. If I look at VEKP / VEPO, I see where it was created but there is no value for vbeln or the posnr I proposed. Below is the code, I am using. Does anyone know what I am doing wrong or is there another function module I can use?

The abap statement does not make sense.
xlips_high_posnr = ( lips-posnr / tvlk-incpo ) * tvlk-incpo
posnr & incpo are both type numc length 6.
Here is my recommendation to catch the divide by zero error.
data: l_oref    type REF to cx_root.
data: l_text    type string.
TRY.
        clear l_text.
         xlips_high_posnr = lips-posnr / tvlk-incpo.
        CATCH cx_sy_zerodivide INTO v_oref.
          l_text = l_oref->get_text( ).
        CLEANUP.
*      Put your code to do further processing if it is divide by zero
ENDTRY.

Packing Problem in Sales order - AFS

Hi Gurus,
I have maintained the Packing Determination records at the Grid level (POF1) and the record is getting determined in the sales order.
The material to be packed is appearing in the 'Material to Packed' section in the packing proposal screen of the sales order.
But the Automatic Packing function is not working and system is throwing as error - 'No items to be packed' .
Please tell me how to overcome this.
Thanks in advance.

How to pack the More than one sales order delivery qty in one packing

Hi Folks,
How to pack the more than one sales order quantity combinely during packing?
Thansk in advance and points wil be rewarded for the reply.
Best Regards
Srinivas

Packing is done during Delivery.
In Sales order also Packing function is available but as a Packing proposal.
So actual packing is done in Delivery.
When you process several sales orders together, the sales order items having same Ship-to-party, Shipping point, Route, Delivery due date & Incoterm are combined into one Delivery in the standard system.
In the delivery overview screen,do the picking by subsequent function rom the menu bar, you will get a button "PACK", click on this system will take you to the packing screen.
In the packing screen, give the packaging mterial number, select the materials to be packed, select the packaging material also and the click on the "PACK" button.

Returnable Packing - Sales order maintainance / Item Category determination

Gurus,
I have question about returnable packing regarding sales order entry and item category determination
1) Sales order : Should we do entry of returnable packing in Sales Order as a regular item
Example : The material M1 - 100unites needs returnable packing materials PK1 5 unites.
Therefore in sales order it should be entered as below
M1 - 100unites
PK1 - 5unites
Please commnet.
2) Item category determination should be done at sales document level
Sales document type + Item category group (LEIH) + Usage (PACK) + Higher lever item Cat (???) = TAL
Please commnet.
Regards,
Ashish

Hi
Yes Ashish you need to enter the returnable as a separate item in the sales order
For qn no 2 the item categories of higher levelitems can be TAN and TAX
Sales document type + Item category group (LEIH) + Usage (PACK) + Higher lever item Cat (blank) =TAL
Sales document type + Item category group (LEIH) + Usage (PACK) + Higher lever item Cat (TAN) =TAL
Sales document type + Item category group (LEIH) + Usage (PACK) + Higher lever item Cat (TAX)=TAL
Note returnable packing items are creates as a separate materials with material type as LEIH and item category group as LEIH
How to bring back the returnable packaging stocks to your plant
Creating a Returnable Packaging Pick-Up
Create a sales order using order type LA /AT.
Enter the required data on the customer, the returnable packaging, and the plant to which the materials are to be returned.
Enter all other relevant data and save the order.
Create a returns delivery for the sales order when the materials reach your company.
The system proposes delivery type LR automatically. The transaction is completed by the goods receipt posting which initiates a transfer posting from the customer's special stock to your plant stock.

Re: Printing Cancelled line items in the sales order on the packing slip

Hi gurus,
Currently we have a unique requirement in our company. Our wholesale customers send the Purchase order to us via EDI. Now saw they have requested an order containing 10 materials out of which we can fulfill only 8. the other 2 due to some reasons cannot be fulfilled.
So the business wants to keep the other 2 line items to be entered in the sales order with a cancelled status.
Now correct me if I am wrong, only the confirmed line items will be copied from a sales order to a delivery document. So thats the reason why these cancelled line items cannot be printed on the packing slip.
However somehow the business wants the packing slip tp have the 2 line items printed on it with the reason of not being delivered. this is to facilitate the customer to know why those items couln't be fulfilled by our company. Now we cannot use a manual work-around of letting the customer know about the impossibility of not fulfilling the other 2 items as there are a lot of orders that come thru EDI per day.
Can anyone suggest a solution to this requirement asap.
Thanks in advance
Vinit

Hi Vinit,
This requirement makes a lot of sense, that is to be able to inform your customer that some item(s) of the sales order could not be delivered, not even partially.
A possible solution would be to allow for zero quantity in the delivery item (check customizing and mark "zero quantity allowed" in the item category).
Then in the packing split, it would be easy to print the delivered quantity (0) and the sales order quantity (whatever it was), because you have the "null" item available in the delivery.
Personally I am not found of having have delivery items with zero quantity, but they are useful in that case, and they can also be useful to automatically "close" the sales order item (instead of having to do it manually if the goods can't be served).
Note: Usually in Consumer Goods, if you can't serve part of a sales order to a customer, you have to close it, because the Retailer's next Sales Order will include the remaining quantity.
Hope it helps.
