Use handling units for subcontracting

Hello Experts,
we are currently trying to improve our subcontracting process. The stock of material is provided to the vendor in boxes, he processes the articles and delivers them back to us in the same boxes.
To be able to identify the boxes when they come back, we want to use handling units.
When i tried to test this, i faced a problem in transaction VLMOVE. There is no handling unit process similar to movement type 541.
Is this a customizing issue or is it not allowed to use handling units for subcontracting?
Hope you can provide some information on this.
Kind regards
Mathias Baumhoff

  • Steps For Goods Receipt For Work Order Using Handling Units

    Hello MM gurus,
    I'm new to HU Management.  Can you please share with me the steps for executing a "Goods Receipt For Work Order" using Handling Units?
    I created a HU (1000000026), and then using transaction COWBHUWE I tried using that HU to create a goods receipt, but I keep getting the message below:
    Handling unit 1000000026 is not provided for goods receipt
    Message no. VHURM046
    Do you have to assign/plan HUs to Process Orders first? I think the problem is that I'm not understanding the process or the requirements for a goods receipt for work order using HU.

    Hello Manish Kumar,
    I've been doing Handling Units testing in our sandbox environment and I've been trying to Pack a Finished Product for a Process Order using
    1-Transaction code HU02 to create the Handling Unit
    2-Transaction COWBHUE after creating the HU to enter the production order number and the HU number and propose it, but the it doesn't work. When I propose it, nothing happens.
    3.-I also tried COWBPACK, but for some reason, when I go into COWBPACK, key in the Process Order, and then press enter, I get the following message:
    You do not have authorization to create handling units for plant BP08
    Message no. VHUPD500
    Do you know how to solve this issue?

  • Determine costs for packing when using handling units

    Hi Experts,
    How can I track the costs for packing process and packing material when I am using Handling Units to represent the packing ?
    Is there any idea?
    The only way I see for tracking the costs is to create a packing operation when creating the FP (and do not use HU).
    Thanks,
    Artashes

    Thanks for the answer Mario, but let me ask more precise question.
    I have a finished product AAA which is not packed. Now I have a requirement to pack it.
    So before hearing about HU, I would add a new operation step to AAA recipe, new resource and a packing material to AAA's BOM.
    For this option I don't have questions.
    But now I want to use HU. so I create packaging instructions, and do the transactions
    - COWBPACK - Work Order - Finished Product  - to pack materials in process order
    - COWBHUWE - Goods Receipt for Work Order  - to do a GR for process order.
    And where can I consider the labour and packing material expenses here? I even don't have a resource which is doing a packing. so I can't do scheduling...maybe I don't understand the usage of HU?
    Thanks and Regards,
    Artashes

  • Creating Handling Unit for Inital Load with SU active

    Hi,
    What is the best way to create Handling units for WH with SU active during Initial load.

    Hi,
    To upload stock please refer below steps.
    1.You can write a program or create LSMW to upload stock. In my experience I used program to upload stock in WM. To upload stock I used transaction LT01 in program.For this I have to give input file which will have material,plant, storage type ,bin ,storage unit type, qty etc.When you run this program system will create automatically TO &SU for the material with the given bin.This TO can be automatically confimed in system.
    2.To perform your program your whole warehouse structure should be in place.
    I believe you got the answer.
    Regards,

    I've only worked with HU's in QM for a brief while but there isn't  a ton difference with or w/o HU's.  The sampling procedures, sample drawing, etc.. work about the same.
    The UD posting screen is different and you post by the individual handling units, not by UOM.
    For QM you basically just need to click on the HU indicator in the insepction type setup in the material master.  You'll find the "Insp. Ctrl" field doesn't work as it normally does.  Most of the selections in there don't work.  Early lot creation does work if I remember but the other ones don't.  Each GR of handling units against a production order will result in an additional inspection lot.

    You can get through packing related configuration settings and assign those settings in the Material master data.
    Please fallow these steps
    -->First you create material master data for the packaging material Pallets and Container with VERP material type.
    Now you go to IMG then define packing related settings for the packaging material.Menu path is

    -->Define Packaging Material Types as ZPL Pallet ,ZCON Container
    -->Define Material Group for Packaging Materials as ZPL Pallet ,ZCON Container.
    -->Define Allowed Packaging Materials
    ZPL Pallet <>ZCON-- Container.
    Now you assign Material Group for Packaging Materials in the material master data Basic Data 1 view.
    In finished  material master data assign Pallet material group.
    In Pallet material master data assign container material group.
    Noe you can able to pack as per your requirement in the delivery document.
    I hope it will help you,

  • Use Handling Units to group production orders?

    Hello,
    can I use Handling Units to group production orders together? We have a workcenter where all our orders go through and we'd like to group, say, the morning's orders in a single HU on which we could post a single transaction (batch?) instead of posting on each and every order.
    Thanks,

  • Re-using Handling unit. Inbound deliver has unpacked materials

    Dear All
    We're running the process that inbound delivery is created automatically once goods issue for outbound delivery is done.
    We're also running the process when handling units created in outbound delivery are re-used in Inbound delivery.
    The problem we've got is that from time to time we have situation when part of materials in inbound Delivery are unpacked, while these materials were packed in handling units. There are no errors appear, and Inbound Delivery is created, but materials are unpacked.
    In humo for such handling units, which are not created in Inbound Delivery i can see that the status was not updated and still remains "LOAD PHEX WHSE" and such HUs are assigned to plant where goods issue was done.
    Whille for handling units which were created in Inbound Delivery the status is updated to "PHEX" and HUs are assigned to recieving plant.
    Please advise if you have any idea on the root cause and solution.
    Thanks in advance.
    Best Regards
    Andrey

    HI Andrey,
    Wanted to know if you have recd the solution for this old thread. We arefacing a similar kind of problem wherein we get the status as 0020 when we pack for Returns Delivery. This status is like the Goods are already posted and hence we cant do PGR.
    Please suggest.

  • URGENT-IS RETAIL- SCANNING USING HANDLING UNIT (T.Code HUPAST)

    Hi,
    Can any body please let me know urgently the total configuration for Hupast in IS Retail. Will a functional person be able to do all the configuration? The requirement is system should be able to generate HU against the outbound/inbound delivery as we enter the packaging type in Handling Unit field (in T.Code Hupast). Then the stocks will be scanned against this HU with reference to the inbound/outbound delivery no. And PGI/PGR will be done using the HU no. Many retailers use this T.Code HUPAST. I have followed the functional specifications from "G74 - Handling Unit Management" from help.sap but still as I enter the packaging type in HU field the system is unable to generate the HU no.
    I will definitely reward points to the answers that will solve the purpose. Please give all the config steps.
    This is really very urgent.
    Thanks
    Anirban

    Did you ever get an answer for this?  We would like to backflush some HU managed materials as well.

  • Why do we use Handling Unit management  in SAP

    Hi Experts,
    I would like to know about the handling unit management.
    What is the use of using/implementing handling unit  management in SAP.
    What is the need and what are the benefits.

    Hello Raj,
    I am still aprehensive about the usage of handling unit mangament. I am reading it and it seems that we generally use a handling unit mangement with WM & without WM as well.
    Is there any document from where we can understand about it?
    Does the end user/customer know about this handling unit is it mentioned in his invoice or EDI?
    Will the customer track shipments based on the handling units or is it only for internal purposes.......
    What i really dont understand is that relation between the packing instructions and handling units....
    how and what level do they differ from  each other......
    thanks

  • Processing handling units for outbound delivery

    Dear All,
    I am getting the message "The material contained in the item you chose is maintained in the material master with the material group packaging material K. The handling unit you chose has a packaging material of the packaging material type V
    There is no entry for the material-group packaging-material for this material type in Customizing.
    Can you please advice what should be done to fix this where to make the customizing.
    Warm Regards

    Hi,
    Change the material group in the mateiral master. OR in SPRO configure for Define material group for packaging material and Define Allowed Packaging Materials for the material group that you have defined in the material master.

    Hi,

    using VEKP-EXIDV, fetch the delivery number from VEKP-VPOBJKEY where VEKP-VPOBJ is 01.
