TO per handling unit

Folks,
I have inbound delivery with multiple HU's (not nested). When performing LM76 based on 1 HU , system creates 1 TO for complete inbound delivery and thus for all HU's. I would want to have 1 TO per HU and only create the TO for HU selected. When the first is done, then proceed with the next HU.
Any suggestions?
MZ

Hi
The LM76 cannot process by HU if delivery is posted. This is not a bug
but it is a the standard approach. Because the LM7x works with delivery,
from the moment there is a posting, the HU does not belong to the
delivery. This is why you cannot use the LM76 by HU for the posted
delivery. The most important thing is to explain to your client that
this is how the combination of post and HU works.
regards,
Ramana

this looks like sales bom, but not like a handling unit.
A handling unit would be if you have 3 items in a sales order and pack them via Edit > Packing Proposal.
if you only have 1 item in the sales order, then you can only mention different Country of origins in a long text

Handling Unit Number range per delivery.

Dear All,
Please guide me how we can configure Handling Unit number ranges so that for each delivery document, Handling numbers should be started from 01.
Thanx in advance.
Anup

Dear Reazuddin,
Thanks for your early response.
As per standard SAP functionality, we assign a number range to handling units and system automatically assigns serial numbers to each handling unit.
But My requirement is suppose I am packing materials in a delivery document, then the handling numbers of these packs should start from 1,2,3 so on. And for next delivery also system should give me (or allow to enter) once again starting from 1 and not 04.
I hope my requirement is clear.
Please advise any solution on this.
Any further updates please.....?
Thanx,
Anup

Deriving/ change the item category from handling unit

Hi SAP GURUS,
In vl01n I want to derive the item category based on the handling unit. Hnadling unit is derived from the payment terms.
Please let me know the required configuration or the development for this.
Thanks

i need ur help regarding the Sales order item category redetermination.
         we are having two item categories YNAE and YNAG and it contain schedule line categories CP and CB ( i.e for item category YNAE schedule line category is CP and
         for item category YNAG schedule line category is CB), for YNAG Purchase Requisition is automatically created becz of functional setting on save and it is working fine.
         For every line item in sales order line item level item category YNAE will be determined by default as per functional settings.
         Now my requirement is that, if sales order line item doesn't contain 100% confirmed quantity, than i needs to change the default line item category YNAE to YNAG
         which i am trying to do it in USEREXIT_PRICING_PREPARE_TKOMP becz in this exit i am getting the values in XVBAP and XVBEP and it is working fine .
         But schedule line category is not getting redetermined automatically what i mean is, if i change the item category to YNAG from YNAE in user exit corresponding schedule line category CB of YNAG is getting determined automatically at the schedule line level and if ichange the schedule line categories in XVBEP in exit USEREXIT_PRICING_PREPARE_TKOMP, changes are reflecting at the schedule line level but Purchase requisation is not getting created for schedule on SAVE and its delivary dates are also not getting determined properly. If press the option ATP check at the schedule line level than very things will getting corrected in the order.
i am using UPDKZ = U in both xvbap and xvbep for changes
I feel that i am not doing this in proper way, do u have any idea about how to redetermine item category. please let me know if u have any idea .

Vaddepally Manoj

Line item wise Qty in Handling Unit Management

Dear All,
I am working and testing Handling Unit Management. As per the client requirement, he wants Multilevel Packaging (Manually) for materials as-
E.g. 100 Pieces will be packed in 1 Small Carton.
       100 Small Cartons will be packed in 1 Big Carton.
       10 Big Cartons will be packed in 1 Pallet.
Now while creating delivery I packed 2 materials separately. And in the item level it is showing as a whole, means total 1100 PC packed in 11 Small carton, 11 Small cartons packed in 5 Big cartons and 5 Big cartons packed in 2 Pallets. Please find the below screen shot.
Now when I check this delivery number in tables LIPS-VBELN, it is showing the entire qty of Small carton, Big carton and Pallets as 11, 5, 2 respectively. But actually it has show each material or line item wise No. of Small carton, Big carton and pallet used.
E.g. For 1st material Small Boxes = 5
                               Big Carton = 2
                               Pallet = 1
      For 2nd material Small Boxes = 6
                               Big Carton = 3
                               Pallet = 1
My question is, is there any table or logic where I can fetch all these details for all material that how many packaging material and qty has been used. Because in packing list the same needs to get printed each line item wise. I checked in VEPO and VEKP table as well but not getting any input.
Kindly help.
Regards:
Abhishek

First of all, why you don't have any quantities assigned against Small cartons, big cartons and pallets?
Well, for your requirement. As functional consultant, you should be smart enough to interpret & analysis the data when you have tables and data in hand. Anyways, in your case,
As Pallet is the highest level pack material.
Pass HU no of pallet in VEKP- EXIDV, in your case for one of the pallet, it is 1000013558.
For that you will get, Internal HU no. VEKP-VENUM, say, 86.
Pass VEKP-VENUM = VEPO-VENUM.
With that you will get Lower-level HU, VEPO-UNVEL, that will be internal HU No for Big Cartons & VEPO-VEANZ for packing material quantity.
Then pass VEPO-UNVEL = VEPO-VENUM, by this you will get internal HU No for Small Cartons in VEPO-UNVEL & VEPO-VEANZ for packing material quantity.
Again, pass VEPO-UNVEL = VEPO-VENUM, by this you will get following info:
Table - Fields
Field Desc
VEPO-VEPOS
HU item
VEPO-VBELN
Delivery
VEPO-POSNR
Delivery Item
VEPO-VEMNG
Packed quantities

Single Transfer Order for Multiple Handling Units

I have been researchig the ability to create a single transfer order for multiple handling units. My assumptions are if it can be done that:
1) A transfer order can have a single source, so if the source document for the handling unit (delivery) is different, that means different transfer order
2) A TO can have multiple materials (line items) with different destination bins and quantities per bin
I looked at the configuration for TO Split, but it's not clear that this will handle my requirement.
I also saw this http://aq33.com/material-management/Articles-005798.html and it also says that my requirement can't be meant. I'm just checking before I tell my customer this cannot be done.

Yes you are right, if Source document is different, you need to go with different TO.
But you can choose the Handling unit split, while creating a TO itself. i.e., You can quantify the goods for each handling unit.

Handling Unit Number against each PO Number/Sales Order

Dear All,
I have a query regarding identification of Handling Unit/s Number/s (Handling Unit Management) against each PO Number in Sales Order. E.g. I created 2 Sales Order with 5 and 7 line items respectively. Now I combine them into one Delivery which becomes as 12 Line items. Now against each PO Number/Sales Order line items I have done multilevel packing, similarly I have done this for 2nd PO Number/Sales Order line items while creating Outbound Delivery.
As per my client's requirement, he wants to print the Handling Unit Number as per Sales Order PO Number. I have checked VEKP and VEPO where I am not able to segregate the Handling Unit Number against each Sales Order/PO Number. Please find below Screen Shot.
Please help me out.
Regards:
Abhishek

Hello,
I'm not sure to understand completely your requirement.
Anyway in VBFA you should have the complete flow of the documents:
enter in VBFA with
"Follow-on doc." (VBELN) = your HU number
"Subs.doc.categ." (VBTYP_N) = 'X - Handling unit
"Prec.doc.categ." (VBTYP_V) = 'J - Delivery"
In this way for each Handling Unit you'll get the delivery number and item, and from that you can branch to the corresponding Sales Order item number and get the customer's PO number.
On top of that, in table VEPO you have the reference to Delivery number and item. The only thing you need is one more step using VBFA again, to get from the delivery and item numer, the corresponding Sales Order number and item.
Best regards,
Andrea

Issue in Handling Unit creation.

Dear All,
We are using Handling Units functionality in the process order. We are doing packing after confirmation, at the time of packing system is creating HU for those quantities which were confirmed at the last operation. E.g. Confirmation quantity is 90 and order quantity is 100 then system is creating HU for 90 quantities. This is working absolutely fine.
If confirmed quantity is greater than Order quantity, then system is packing the quantities as per the order header quantity only. E g. Confirmation quantity is 110 but Order quantity is 100 then system is creating HU for the 100 quantity only. In this case system should create HU for all the confirmed quantities.
How to solve this issue. Thanks in advance.
Regards
Amit

Hello Amit,
Can you please provide the step you are doing in this process. Hope packing is being done automatically during confirmation.

Sana

LT12: how to manipulate the handling unit

Dear all,
This is my first message on this forum and I've seen many bright lights on this forum so I have high hopes of your response to my question : )
When I want to confirm a transfer order with trx LT12, 2 Handling Units (HU) are assigned (which can be seen in the lower part of the screen). I have 2 items in my active worklist (different storage units) and can modify some fields, including the HU. For some reason both items have the same HU (the upper one of the assigned HU). I would like the first item to have the first HU and the second item to have the second HU.
My question is simple (and I had thought this would be possible but I've tried a LOT and did not succeed, hence my cry for help here): is there a possibility to manipulate the Handling Unit before it is shown on the screen? I did not seem to find a suitable BADI/user exit.
Any help would be greatly appreciated. Thanks in advance for your efforts!
With kind regards,
Roel van den Berge

Dear Roel van den Berge
if iam not wrong you can achieve the same by TO split
Transfer Order Split
Use
To optimize processes in the warehouse, it often makes sense to split up putaways and stock removals into smaller packets according to certain criteria. In doing so, it is important, for example, to:
     Distribute the workload equally amongst the warehouse workers
     Optimize stock movements in the warehouse according to certain criteria.
The transfer order (TO) represents a work package and determines the actual workload for a putaway or stock removal. It can therefore make sense to split a single, extensive transfer order into several smaller transfer orders. During the TO split, the system creates several smaller packets from one large one.
During the TO split, the TO items are divided up between one or more TOs. A TO split does not however mean that the system divides individual items of a TO into smaller TO items.
Prerequisites
1.     You define the criteria according to which the TO split is to occur in the Customizing for Warehouse Management under Activities  Transfers  Processing Performance Data/TO Split  Define Profiles.
a.     To define a TO sort profile, choose Sort profile for TO splitting.
In the sort profile for the TO, you define the criteria according to which you want to sort the items in a transfer order before the actual split.
For each of these sort criteria, you define whether the system is to sort the transfer order items in ascending or descending order.
Before the actual dynamic TO split, you must sort the corresponding TO according to certain criteria. By sorting the TO items, you ensure that the TO split is sensibly executed and that no nonsensical TO splits occur.
b.     To define a TO split profile, choose Profile for Transfer Order Splitting.
c.     You assign your sort profile to the TO split profile by entering it in the field Sort profile.
2.     You determine when the TO split should take place in the Customizing for warehouse management under Activities  Transfers  Processing Performance Data/TO Split  Control for Performance Data Processing/Define TO Split.
You also assign a key to the TO split profile, consisting of a warehouse number, movement type, source storage type and destination storage type.
Features
Standard Sorting of TO Items
Control of the TO split occurs on the basis of the sort. The system defines the sequence of the items in the transfer order before the actual TO split via the sort, so that the sequence of the TO items corresponds to an optimal sort sequence for later processing.
Since the system always executes the forced split of the transfer order items according to the forced split criteria, the system always sorts the TO items in the standard sort in accordance with the forced split criteria in the order that the forced split criteria are processed.
Forced Split
Even if you have not set any user-defined criteria for the TO split, the system always executes a TO split according to the following forced split criteria:
     Planned data is required
The TO split first divides the TO items for which planned data creation is required, from the TO items for which planned data creation is not required.
The TO split also causes a further division for all TO items with planned data creation, according to the source storage type and destination storage area criteria.
     Per split profile
As soon as TO items differ from one another in the split profile to which they are assigned, a TO split occurs according to the split profile criterion.
     Per performance data profile
As soon as TO items differ from one another in the performance data profile to which they are assigned, a TO split occurs according to the performance data profile criterion.
     Per staging area
The TO split divides the TO items according to the staging zone to which they are assigned.
     According to mixed pallets
The TO split then separates the TO items containing mixed pallets from those containing no mixed pallets.
The TO split also creates a further division of all TO items with mixed pallets according to the storage unit that is to be moved.
     According to queue
The TO split divides the TO items according to the queue that these TO items are assigned to.
If you work with queues, you can assign each work area to its own printer. That way, all materials that are to be processed in a specific area can be combined in one list and printed on the assigned printer.
     According to handling unit items
The TO split then separates the TO items containing handling units from those containing no handling units.
     Separate confirmation of the withdrawal step and the transfer step is necessary
The TO split divides the TO items with split confirmation from TO items for which split confirmation is not planned.
The system transfers the information on the forced split to the header via the transfer orders, which are created as a result of the TO split.
The forced split criteria are obligatory. You cannot influence the forced split via the user exit. The system does not adopt any changes to the forced split criteria.
Dynamic Sorting
Before you can execute a dynamic TO split controlled via the Customizing settings, the TO items should be sorted according to the split criteria. In doing so, you ensure that the TO split is sensibly executed and that no nonsensical TO splits occur.
You can define the sequence of all the storage bins in the warehouse based on a specific sequence and sort the TO items according to this sequence. The system sorts according to the Sequence indicator in the warehouse master data.
Dynamic Split
You can define several criteria for the TO split in the Customizing for Warehouse Management.
     Split according to movement unit
On the basis of this split criterion, you create a new TO for each movement unit. In doing so, you create TOs with one item for exactly one movement unit.
You use this split, for example, during goods receipt when a whole pallet is moved from the GR area into the warehouse.
You define the split according to movement unit in the Customizing for Warehouse Management under Activities  Transfers  Processing Performance Data/TO Split  Define Profiles  Profile for performance data with the indicator Split single TO.
     Split according to picking area
You divide up the items to be picked according to the areas of responsibility of the picker.
     Split according to target times in the TO
You determine, for example, how long the picking for a transfer order is allowed to take.
     Split according to scope (weight or volume)
You determine the total weight or volume that a transfer order can cover for putaway or stock removal.
Note that the volume is calculated based on the alternative unit of measure. A box with 10 bottles, for example, can have a different volume than 10 times the volume of one bottle. If the volume for the alternative unit of measure has not been defined in the material master record, the system uses the volume from the base unit of measure for its calculation.
Activities
Note that you have no influence over the TO split according to forced split criteria.
You can, however, define your own criteria for a dynamic TO split via user exit MWMTO012. For more information, see the system documentation on this user exit

Handling unit detail report against reservation Number (MB21)

Hi experts
for Internal material requiremnt we create reservation from MB21.then against that reservation number we transferred material from Ware house management system in form of Handling unit.
As per process against that resrvation number system create Outbound delivery in MB1B n we do PGI for that (Mov type 311).
Is there any report in standerd from that we will get Handling unit detail agianst reservation number ?

Dear Mr. Laxmipathi,
Thanks 4 your help. I need to find out is there any control for Packing the materials in Handling unit. E.g. i have 2 packing material i.e. Shipper - A, & Wooden Pallet - B,
Now my Batch for material X for Qyantity 225 - AA123 for 175 & BB123 for 50 is packing into shipper with 25 per shipper. i.e. i required 9 Shippers.
Then the same shipper is moved into Pallet B i.e. 2 Shippers into 1 Pallet. i.e. required pallet is 5 and half. But due to my batch is diffrent any pallet cannot accept two diffrent batches on it. it has to be now pallet for each starting batch., Is there any provision in Delivery document to segrigate those packing automatically

And also my client wants to see the packing list output and also the handling unit output.
So how to to configure this.
Please guide me.

Hi,
Sometime back Allabaqsh Patil has forwarded me this material for my question on packaging. I did it and it worked well.
You can follow the same procedure and do it. It will work for you. The details are given below.
hi,
before creating the packaging material you have to go to:
IMG-Logistics Execution-Shipping -Packing.
1. Define packaging material types- it can be anything like boxes crates, etc. in this you have to maintain the output determination procedure, output type, plant determination, packaging material category, generate delivery items, number assignment. you can copy from standard also.
2. Then go to define material group for packaging materials - here you maintain the four digit code and the description. Actually, this group is nothing but similar products which require similar packing products. For Ex. Nokia Phones all types they are basically packed first into a polythene bag. So here nokia phones can become a material group for packaging materials and polythene bag can become the packaging material type which can include different sizes and types of polythene bags.
3. Define Allowed Packaging Materials - Here you assign the shipping group for packaging materials to the packaging material type. This is related to your mterial master data of the packaging material which you create.
4. Now go to MM01 to create a packaging material. use material type as Packaging material then inside the system will take the item category group as VERP. Then in the Basic Data1 screen you have the material group for packaging material (MGPM). Slect the proper one. Now in the Sales:General/ Plant screen you have to maintain data regarding the packaging. you select the MGPM same as the basic data 1 screen, then select the packaging material type, the allowed pkh weight, allowed pkg volume. This is important because if the weight of your finished item is 2 KG and in the allowed pkg weight you enter only 1.5 KG, then while you carry out the packing process in delivery, the system will give you error," packaging weight exceeded." The assignment in the IMG creen for Define allowed packaging materials should be same as u mention in the material master. Then save your material master for packaging material.
5. VA01 create the order, save it.
6. VL01N enter shipping point, go to edit - pack- you will face a screen with 2 parts. In the top part you select your packaging material in which you want to pack your finished item, enter the system will assign a number to that material. Now select the Material in the top part and the finished one in the lower part and click on the Icon Pack. Here one thing has to be taken care of. Suppose if you want to pack only one finished item in one packaging material, then in the lower part of the screen you have a field for partial quantity here you chnge it to 1. system will prompt quantity changed. now you select the material in the top part and the one in the lower part and click on the PER PART. QTY ICON. In this way the system will pack only one finished item in a single packaging material. Packing is done go back, select the picking and do the PGI. save the delivery and create the invoice.
HANDLING UNITS.
Basically handling units come into picture when you want to carry out multi level packing. suppose you want to pack Nokia phone first into a polythene bag, then this polythene bag is again packed in to box. like that. then this box will become a handling unit. For this go to :
IMG - Logistics General - Handling Unit Mangement - Basics.
1. In basics you do the same thing as you did in the packing in logistics execution. like you create the packaging material type, then MGPm and their assignment.
2. Then go to External Identification - and maintain the number ranges forthe handling units that you want and assign the same to your pckaging material type.
3. Now that you have done everything, create the order, save it, in VL01N, enter shipping point, go to edit - pack - do the same thing as i ahve told you in the step no. 6 (above). now after doing select the PACK HUs TAB . NOW IN THIS SCREEN IN THE TOP PART YOU WILL SEE THE ALREADY PACKED MATERIAL. In that same part again select your next packaging material that is BOX. enter the system will assign the number to the BOX.
4. Now select the material which you have just entered and the materials which were already packed in the lower part of the screen and click on the ICON PACK.
This is what I know about the packing process and the handling unit. you have many things in the handling unit management whichcan be very useful for automatic packing.
HOPE I AHVE ANSWERED YOUR QUERY.
PLEASE REWARD VALUABLE POINTS IF SOLUTION FOUND USEFUL.

Configuration of external handling unit number range

Hello everyone,
I am working on a project that includes receiving of handling units from outside of our SAP system in EAN128 format, and am running into some challenges in setting up an appropriate external handling unit number range. The process will involve creation of an inbound delivery from an advance ship notice, with the delivery to then be packed based upon handling unit information in the ASN. I have set up an external number range interval in the number range object that is being used for generation of internal handling unit numbers, with the external interval being outside the range of the existing internal intervals. When the ASN is posted, the inbound delivery is created but cannot be packed (status 52), and I get a message stating "The check digit of SSCC 10000001000001648 is incorrect. 5 is correct" (just using this number as an example). In this case, the HU number actually had a leading zero, and changing the sample HU to start with a 5 results in the same message but stating that 0 is correct, which is kind of maddening. The bottom line is that I have not configured an external number range before for handling units and am clearly missing something here. Has somebody set this up successfully and can share your experience, or can point me to some good documentation? I am searching OSS, the Business Process Expert Community, and the overall web in general and am not finding any relevant information.

Per your info,
in std, You cant maintain HU number ranges with respect to year.
Still if you want to maintain, You have to use Userexit for Number ranges.
Generally, all sales documents number ranges are not year specific . ONly FI documents are year specific.
Why you want to have Year specific number ranges for HU's? - It is nothing to do with Year.
Convince your client, This year dependant HU number ranges doesnt carry any value addition. Still client insists, only way to achieve this is "USEREXIT_NUMBER_RANGE"
hope it helps

Handling units were changed. Cancellation no longer possible

HI All
Iam trying to reverse goods movement using VL09 transaction code.
System shows an error "Handling units were changed. Cancellation no longer possible".
Following is the history
Ii have a purchase order, outbound del with HU, inbound delivery with HU.
Due to some reason I have unassigned HU in inbound delivery and inb del has been deleted from system.
Then i tried to reverse the PGI doc for outbound del with tcode VL09
Please advice
regards
satyaprasad

Hi
As per your advice i tried steps(below) mentioned in SAPnotes but still Iam getting same error.
Please advice
1. Call transaction VL32N for processing inbound deliveries and search for the inbound delivery that is assigned to the outbound delivery which is to be reversed. For this purpose, use the search help E external delivery number of the vendor and enter "*<delivery number>" as the search criterion (the placeholder * is required because the delivery number has leading zeros).
2. If the delivery contains handling units, go to the packaging screen. The next steps depend on whether handling unit management is active:
If handling unit management is inactive, delete the handling units of the inbound delivery.
If handling unit management is active, delete the assignment of the handling unit to the inbound delivery using the corresponding function. The handling units are then assigned again to the previous outbound delivery.
3. Delete the inbound delivery.
