Subcontracting of Packaging Materials

Hi Gurus.
1) What are the essential and characteristic views and fields of packaging material in Material Master?
2) If Subcontracting of Packaging Materials is involved, then is handling unit invloved? if yes, can you please explain in details how is handling unit involved in this case?
3)Is GR an internal or external document? I mean when truck comes with the goods, what document does truck driver bring with him?
Itls urgent!! Please help
Thanks,
Kumar

Hi,
The GR is an internal document....Whenever the truck driver comes....he has the paper described details about invoice price for the given delivery of the material...which is provided to you for checking....pls do insert these details only if you have full faith on the vendor ie. abt delievered qty...price charged etc....
Your answer to first question is :
VERP (packaging materials)
Packaging materials are used to transport goods and come with the goods free of charge. A material master record of this material type is managed both on a quantity basis and by value.
Hope it helps....
Regards,
Priyanka.P
Further answers will be updated....

Hi,
Could you please advice is there a way to sale only packaging materials (Item Category Group: VERP)?
Thanks,
Marian

Hi,
The material type is PACK (Item Categoy Group: VERP). I can't change it because I have existing stock in Valuation Area, and Plant Level and s.o. (tr. code MMAM).
When I create STO - UB there isn't problem. The problem is when i try to make Goods Issue of subsequent Delivery. The the system give me this error message:

Hu_packing_and_unpacking of auxiliary packaging materials

Hello Gurus!
I am trying to add auxiliary packaging materials to HU with HU_PACKING_AND_UNPACKING and this one works fine (I can see material and quantity added to VL32N->Pack screen, and relevant entry in table VEPO is created). The problem is, that when I do it with VL32N and I provide the transaction with PSTYV (Item Category), WERKS (Plant) and LGORT (Stor. Location) a new position in delivery is created and POSNR_GEN is filled with its value.
I am unable to do the same with HU_PACKING_AND_UNPACKING. I provide FM with is_packing_request-werks, -lgort and -pstyv but the delivery positions are not automatically generated and assigned. Only LGORT gets filled with supplied data ... other fields (WERKS, PSTYV) not and of course POSNR_GEN stays empty
Any ideas how to make it work from FM as it works from T-Code?
Regards,
FS

I have tried HU_PACKING_REFRESH ... but it is not working as supposed

Generate delivery items for packaging materials but aggregate in one line

Hy, we have a requirement for delivery process, we have WM and we make picking by RF, and automatic generate items for packaging materials, but one line per pallet and the deliveries have a lot of line items that we want to aggregate in only one line item, instead of having for e.g. 30 lines with one pallet we need to have one line item with quantity 30.
can you help us,
Thanks in advance.

Hi,
You can very well achieve this by usinh a spilt routine in your copy control from sales document to delivery document.
Goto tcode: VOFM - Data transfer - deliveries.
For this you need to write a routine with the help of your ABAPer & to include logic something like this:
You have to identify some unique feild in the two material or even the material code itself.
Then in the routine logic, you pass this feilds in the combination criterai field in delivery that is "ZUKRL"
Then in copy control sales doc to delivery: you attach this routine in header details in data transfer "Header Data"
See the code below for your help:
SELECT SINGLE PRAT1 PRAT2 PRAT3 PRAT4 PRAT5 INTO (MVKE-PRAT1,MVKE-PRAT2,MVKE-PRAT3,MVKE-PRAT4,MVKE-PRAT5) FROM MVKE
                  WHERE MATNR = CVBAP-MATNR
                  AND   VKORG = CVBAK-VKORG
                  AND   VTWEG = CVBAK-VTWEG.
IF NOT MVKE-PRAT1 IS INITIAL.
ZUK1-C+0(1) = 'O'. "FOR OIL
*LIKP-ZUKRL = ZUK1.
ENDIF.
IF NOT MVKE-PRAT2 IS INITIAL.
ZUK1-C+0(1) = '1'. " FOR FRAGILE 1
*LIKP-ZUKRL = ZUK1.
ENDIF.
IF NOT MVKE-PRAT3 IS INITIAL.
ZUK1-C+0(1) = 'N'. " FOR NON FRAGILE
LIKP-ZUKRL = ZUK1.
ENDIF.
IF NOT MVKE-PRAT4 IS INITIAL.
ZUK1-C+0(1) = '2'. " FOR FRAGILE 2
LIKP-ZUKRL = ZUK1.
ENDIF.
IF NOT MVKE-PRAT5 IS INITIAL.
ZUK1-C+0(1) = 'B'. " FOR BULK / OVERWEIGHT
LIKP-ZUKRL = ZUK1.
ENDIF.
   LIKP-ZUKRL = ZUK1.
CONDENSE LIKP-ZUKRL NO-GAPS.
endif.
Hope this helps you

Total Volume of HU Packaging materials/Containers not being updated

Hello Guys,
I've just noticed that when a pack some materials or sub HU into another HU (packaging materials/containers), its total volume is not being updated. Well I assume that the total volume must be the sum of the volume of its contents right? But in my case, the total volume is not being displayed (it shows a value of "zero").
Then I have observed in the material master record of the HU packaging material, the value for its volume is zero and its unit of measure is empty.
Then I check the HU contents (the one that I packed in the HU containers), they have values for their volume, the unit of measure is present as well.
Do you guys have an idea why these behavior occurs? I'm thinking if I could just enter a unit of measure for the HU containers even if the value for the volume is zero. Well I just need some confirmation/validation from you guys.
Thanks for your help!

We use the UOM "EA" in our packaging material master data and the volume is getting updated in the deliveries.
I believe there are numerous setting that must be maintained but I can tell you that we do use UOM for packaging materials

Hi,
You need to customize Packing material type
SPRO-->Logistic general > HUM>Basic setting-->Packaging material type
Assign this in material master.
Also you need to create Packing group .
Assign that packaging material type in packing group.
Mention this packing group in material to be packed.

Report packaging materials to authorities (Green Dot)

Hello,
What support, e.g report, is there in R/3 to see the quantities of packaging materials that have been shipped to customers as part of the products sold during a time period? (This has to be reported regularly to authorities, called "Green Dot")
Best regards,
Magnus Berglind

hi,
To display the returnable packaging stock situation for several or one particular customer, proceed as follows:
Choose Logistics ® Materials management ® Inventory management on the main menu screen.
Choose Environment ® Stock ® Stock overview.
Enter your selection criteria and enter the special stock indicator V. Then select all fields in the Select display levels section.
Choose Program ® Execute.
Position the cursor on the Returnable packaging stock at customer line and choose Edit ® Choose.
The system displays the returnable packaging stock of the selected material currently with the customer.
hope this helps

Packing into suppliers packaging materials with external HU numbers

All,
We have a scenario where we have customer packaging materials that contain a customer barcode. We consider this as an external HU number. During picking through RF, we would like to pack during picking into this customer packaging material. Tcode LM45 seems to offer some kind of logic but will not allow entering any HU number which is not yet known in the system.
Any ideas on this?
thanks,
MZ

Can you tell me how you receive the handling units ?.If you are receiving material from PO then using an idoc then in idoc function module put the logic crete the inbound delivery with external HU number for receipt.
You can use HID dummy delivery type susyem should create the delivery with customer handling unit numbers for receipt.
I think you need to develop custom program which you need to insert HU number ,material qty ,plant and storage location then system will generate packing lable in background to receipt the material.

Packaging Materials

We purchase packaging material for re-packing of goods.
When these are shipped, we do not charge the client for it.
I want to know if there is a method by which we can track this in SAP.
If we raise a PO in SAP for the packaging material and then enter the corresponding GRN, how do we show the dispatch of materials from the system ?
These items should not be seen in the Delivery or the AR Invoice
Please guide us

hi,
if i am correct you want to note down the inventory of the packaging material for the things which you are purchase is it correct.
then do the things as follows.
purchase the flow of sap is correct.
while you are issuuing the goods to the packing department make a goods issue with the corresponding remarks.
while making sales have a Packing uom so that you can get tally of the packing materials and the goods issue are same are not.

Configuration of Returnable packaging materials

Hi Experts,
Can anyone provide me with detail configuration guide of returnable packaging material step by step.
Thanks.
KIK

I can understand the process, I just asked what this has to do with returnable packaging?
you dont have to return this to the vendors, you dont expect it returned from your customer. So why is it returnable packaging then?
I would not use returnable packaging material type for at least 2 reasons: it is a material type for a speical process in SAP, and you confuse the users putting materials in that material type but using then a different process.
In general you can sell anything. The big question is just how you want the material to be in your system.
should it be stock managed or not? should it be valuated or not.
if stock managed, then you have to create the stock yourself as you never ordered it. this can be done either with 501 movement, or as already mentioned by others with 202 movement, (561, 552 and inventory movement 70* are as well possible)
