VLMOVE 321 with nested Handling Unit

Hi
I have the following situation:
- Handling Unit active
- WM active (with Storage Unit)
- QM not active
I have nested HUs:
.1         HU001
...2       HU002
......3    Material A, Batch B1, quantity 10 pcs in inspection stock
...2       HU003
......3    Material A, Batch B2, quantity 20 pcs in inspection stock
In WM, I have only HU001.
The first question is: Is possible to manage lower-level HU as Storage Unit in WM? I mean, can I have HU002 and HU003 as storage unit number instead of HU001 in WM?
The second is: when I try to post HU002 to unrestricted-use stock (with VLMOVE 321), SAP posts the higher HU in unrestricted-use stock, changing also the stock of HU003 (Material A Batch B2).
I don't want it because Batch B2 isn't inspected!!
I think that I could unpack HU001, posting change to HU002 and then repack, but this process is very time expensive and it should be done automatically by interface from an external LIMS.
Have you got any idea?
If I activate QM-IDI interface (with inspection lots), could it be possible?
many thanks
mic

hi guys
Iu2018ve met this problem
*1 we just manage HU in highest level in WM
you just select the lower-level HU when you confirm TO. we don't need to unpack.
i just know this. share with you.
hope help to you.

Confirming transfer order for nested handling units (picking and shipping)

Hi
My shipping location is HU + WM, I understand we cannot "auto confirm" Transfer Orders during creation from an outbound delivery (LT03) in the case of nested HUs because the system wants to know which exact box HUs ( The TO only specifies the pallet HU...storage unit)
I have an automatic Pick HU created during TO confirmation but the system still prompts for me to enter box HUs that need to be shipped/repacked on LT12. This makes logical sense but is slowing down our shipping process. Since we do not put HU labels on our boxes, the picker has to go into HUMO, enter the pallet HU, retrieve the box HUs and finally enter some of those on the TO confirmation screen to match the open quantity. In reality we don't really care what HUs he picks as long as he picks from the right pallet.
Is there any way to automate this? If the system can pick box HUs sequentially, randomly or create further pick HUs. Anything but doesnt ask the picker to put in the box HU numbers
OR
Is there a way to auto confirm TOs during creation
OR
Is there any way to putaway box level HUs into the warehouse at the end of the production line so that Storage Unit is the box HU number and not the pallet HU number, that way it wouldn't prompt me for box HUs during picking.
I would really appreciate your help.

This is the standard SAP for picking nested handling units. You can do some more reading on this by accessing the SAP note 829266.
We had a similar problem with nested handling units - what we ended up doing was writing a BDC program that would take the nested handling unit and pack it back onto that HU instead of the pick HU after TO confirmation was done in the delivery.
In order to get your TO to automatically confirm, check the configuration for the storage type that its picking from - look to see if "Storage Type requires confirmation for removal/placement" is checked.
You can als ocheck the movement type configuration for Propose Confirmation.

Packing a delivery with a handling unit

can anyone tell me how to pack a inbound delivery with a handling unit using a FM similar to what is done in vl32n
Regards
Nikhil

i have a handling unit and an inbound delivery which is created using mb_goods_movement_create(MIGO). so, the HU has to be packed with a material which can be seen in vl32n.
i used ws_delivery_update. It did not work.

How to create Nested Handling units at the time of Outbound delivery VL01n

Hi,
go to Edit-Pack,
In First tab will be "Pack Material", give Packing Materials & enter. You will get a HU Number generated. select this line & the line in Material to be packed. Click on Pack button. The material is packed into a HU.
Now go to Second tab "Pack HUs". Here also give Packing Materials & enter. You will get a HU Number generated. select this line & the line in All Handling Units that can be packed. Click on Pack button. The HU is packed into another HU.

Nested Handling Units and Confirmation of Transfer Order - Pick HU

Friends & Gurus,
I have nested (low level) handling units and when confirming I would like one of the nested HU to become the pick-HU. So far I haven't been able. The pick-HU is always generated with a new number and if I try to assign manually one of the nested HU the systems says that the HU is not assigned to the TO.
Any comments or ideas will be appreciated.

I fully agree and thanks for coming back.
I can unpack the nested HU and then create a TO and select the unpacked HU (now a SU) as a full HU removal. I believe this is not operative, the idea is the operator gets to the big box, chooses (scans) one of the small box (nested) and confirms the TO. If somebody back at the office has first to unpack one of the nested HU (how could he know which one if there are 30 of them? Which one is on the top?) it makes it unviable.
Are we on sync?

STO Stock Transfer Order with HU (Handling Units) - Error Hugeneral 319

Hello,
We implemented a Stock Transfer Order process with the following details:
MM side
- PO is type NB, supplier is F_8001;
- In table T001W, supplier F_8001 is assigned to plant 80GP;
- WERKS = 40TV and LGORT = 41P in all PO items;
- In each item, the shipping tab is filled with NLCC as delivery type and customer C_4000 (this customer corresponds to plant 40TV in table T001W). The sales area is also defined as the sales area to be used in the sales order that will be created in plant 80GP;
SD side
- Sales order is created automatically for customer C_4000;
- In plant 80GP we have a HU managed stloc (32P). In this stloc we have a HU with the exact contents of the sales order. This HU has X in the HU storage loc field;
- We created the outbound delivery and chose our HU. From this moment the HU storage loc field changed to D and the HU was assigned to the delivery;
Now for the problem:
When we click Post Goods Issue button, we get the following error for each item:
HUGENERAL 319 - HU item contains different data than the stock posting
The HU contents are exactly what we need to ship, so we do not understand this error. We need this HU to be transfered to stloc 41P in plant 40TV (this stloc is also HU managed). Any clues?
Thanks in advance,
Joã

Hi,
Have you checked your HU material and material to packed both having stock in Inventory.
Even check the table HUMSEG is correctly updated or not.
check this table correctly Hu assignd to you material and created materil document or not.
check for for material master clearly for both material like plant, storage location, batch etc..
Ask your MM consultant to check all entry is correct in material master and delivery or not.

Karthik.

URGENT DELIVERY HANDLING UNIT STATUS ERROR

Hi Experts when i am doing PGI i am getting the following error and system is not allowing to do PGI
ERROR: When trying to read the status of an object (HU 210868), a system error occurred: For object number HU0000210868 there is no status object.

Hi Ramesh,
The material is having the Packing ( Handling Units).
In delivery please do the Packing for the Materials because they have linked with the Handling Units. and Also check the wheather the Handling Units are configured properly.
For your Information please go through the Below which will help you further.
The SAP Handling Unit Management system allows you to manage the entire movement of the handling units and the materials they contain rather than tracking each material individually.

A handling unit is a physical unit that consists of the packaging materials (load carrier / packaging material) and the goods contained therein. A handling unit is always a combination of materials and packaging materials. All the information contained in the material items, such as batches and serial numbers, is always available by way of the handling units.
Handling units can be nested, meaning that you can also create new handling units from several handling units as often as you like.
Handling units have unique, scannable identification numbers that can be formed according to standards such as EAN 128 or SSCC.
Figure 1: Handling unit example
Structure
The handling unit object contains the following attributes:
     Identification number
     Dimensions
     Weight
     Volume
     Status
     Materials and quantities
     Packaging materials
     Packing instructions
A handling unit consists of a handling unit header and handling unit items. For identification purposes, it is given a unique number.
Handling unit header
The header data of a handling unit is divided in the following way:
     Weight/Volume/Dimensions
     General data
     Means-of-transport data
     Additional data
     Output determination procedure
For more information about each of these detailed points, see Editing detailed data for handling units.
Status
The handling unit is linked to general status management. In this way, the various physical states (planned or implemented) and other attributes (weighed, loaded, blocked or posted goods issue) of handling units can be documented.
You can use the HU_ST_INIT user parameter when you create handling units without object reference to set which initial status the handling unit is to have when it is created.
If you want to implement a status of your own, you can define a user-specific procedure for the packaging material type (see also Define Packaging Material Types).
Handling unit item
The items of a handling unit can consist of material items, packaging materials or other handling units that appear in an overview. For more information about this overview, see the Contents section of Editing detailed data for handling units.
To access the item data of an individual handling unit, select the handling unit concerned and choose Goto  Detailed HU data  Contents.
Integration
Handling units can be used in all processes within the supply chain.

Creating Handling Unit

Hi All,
Can anyone guide me which BAPI/FM to use to create Handling unit?
And, How to update the delivery with the HU information?
Was able to get the Handling Unit number through FM V51P_FIND_HEADER given the packaging Material number.
Regards,
Raj

Hi Rajasekhar,
I have mailed you the document on Handling Units.
To create a Handling Unit you need to use the following BAPI Functional Module
BAPI_HU_CREATE
check the following Documentation:
FU BAPI_HU_CREATE
Text
Create Handling Unit with Items
Functionality
You can use this method to create non-assigned handling units without stock information. These handling units may also be created with items, if you like. Serial numbers can also be included for each handling-unit item at this point.
You can also create nested handling units by accessing this method more than once.
Example
Example 1:
Creating a non-assigned handling unit with packaging material PALLET with a "Planned HU" physical status:
HEADERPROPOSAL: pack_mat = 'PALETTE'
 hu_status_init = 'A'.
Example 2:
Following access of the above method (example 1), the return parameter HUKEY returns the ID of the handling unit that was created in the KEY = ID1 field. To pack the handling unit that was just created in another handling unit, call up the BAPI_HU_CREATE method again with the following import parameters:
IHEADERPROPOSAL: pack_mat = 'CONTAINER'
ITEMPROPOS AL: hu_item_type = '3'
lower_level_key = ID1
You have now created a nested handling unit (a pallet inside a container).
I suppose this will solve your problem.Also go through the document.
Thanks & Regards

Handling unit preventing deletion of inbound delivery

Hello,
Our Decentralized WMS had a glitch in the system that left several
idocs queued to create inbound deliveries. These deliveries have
associated handling units which were placed from the outbound delivery
to the inbound. Before the inbound deliveries could be created via XI,
users created manual inbound deliveries against the POs and PGRed.
When the Decent WMS glitch was addressed, the IDOCs submitted were
processed, creating inbounds with handling units that were completely
packed.
So our system contains 2 inbounds for a po. We would like to delete the one with with the handling unit, but it's not that simple.
To address this issue, it is necessary to remove the handling units,
but this isn't possible. We receive an error message, unable to change.
I've attempted to PGR the delivery but this isn't possble either.
the following error message is received.
MSSA-SATRA exceeded by 2 EA : 10004063 AA26 0001 E
How can these Handling units be deleted to allow the associated inbound
deliveries to be deleted as well?
Is there a program to modify the status of the handling unit? I do not
want to perform any table editing or goods movements unless there are
no other alternatives

applying note 1083602 which should resolve

Handling unit without inventory management

Hi Experts,
In our scenario, we have Goods reciept from production into Storage location 1000 which is IM managed, Later the stocks are transfer posted into storgae location 1100 which is HU/WM managed. Now in 1100 i have found HU's which have been created with status 'Handling unit without Inventory management'.
Can someone explain to me what does it mean when a HU gets created with this status? under which scenario does the system create the HU with this status?
Also when this HU is scanned for putaway the system gives error message Handling unit does not exist in SAP. Can someone let me know the resolution or the root cause for this issue.
Thanks in advance.
Harish

Hi,
The above mentioned status is when a Handling Unit created, but the Inventory management is not yet posted for the content materials of the HU
I can give an example: Created a Inbound Delivery for material XXX. Then a HU is created in Packing screen, but the PGR is not yet done. At this stage, HU has the same status
Hope this helps
If the GR/GI is reported for HU contents, then the HU status will change. With you case, a Handling Unit is just created, but no further tansaction like, packing, GI or GR is done.
Regards,

Outbound Delivery Handling Unit

Hi Guys,
I have an outbound delivery with a Handling Unit document attached, question is...how will I delete this HU document. Pls enlighten. Thanks a lot.

If the delivery document PGIed then you need to do VL09 transaction to reverse the PGI document.
Then do in VL02N transaction select Delete handling unit assignment icon it will remove all the handling units from delivery.
Later goto EDIT option then selct copy pack qty as dlv qty then save.Later system will allow you to delete the document.

Handling unit management - reporting - basic questions

Dear All,
I'd like to get clear answers for these questions, please help if you can...:
1. Packaging material - packed and free qty
We put the goods onto pallets and we would like to solve this trough HU. Is there any report that shows how many of the paletts can be used for packing and how many of them are already packed in HU?
(e.g. we have 100 pallets and on 20 pcs there are goods and 80 pcs can be used for putting goods onto them).
(I tried HUMO but it is not for this purpose)
2. FG - packed qty and not packed qty
If I pack FG and I give the destination SLoc in HU02 the goods will be posted to the partner SLoc. Based on this (SLoc) I can see how many of the goods are packed and not packed into HU.
The problem is that I can pack goods w/o sending them to the partner SLoc.
Why?
What is the difference between HU in normal and in the HUM-SLoc?
How can I report the number of goods that are packed (that are in HU) and that are not packed?
Please understand that these should be able to be reported very easily not using several separate reports.
Thanks in advance,
Csaba

Hi,
"What is the difference between HU in normal and in the HUM-SLoc?"
Handling unit managed storage location:
- only packed material can be stored there; all stock must be packed
- u2018HU requirementu2019 indicator has to be set for the storage location in customizing
- a (non handling unit managed) partner storage location has to be assigned from the same plant.
When Hus are unpacked, not-packed stocks are posted to the partner storage location.
Handling Unit Management enables to control inventory management using packed stocks at storage location level.
The guarantee that the total of all HU stocks is the same as the stock in the storage location, is only valid for handling unit managed storage locations.
If you have HUs on storage locations that are not HU managed, you never know if the stock in the HU physically exists and if the stock information is still valid. There is no guarantee that the data is correct.
You can easy test this: just go to transaction hu02 -> create an HU at a not handling unit managed storage location whit a quantity that is more than the stock of that storage location... the system will let you save this... you will only get problems afterwards when you want to use this HU
Then test the same with a handling unit managed storage location...

Ely

Physical inventory with and without handling unit managment

Hello all,
I would like to know what is the difference between physical inventory with and without handling unit management.
Pl. advise.
Thanks,
Maxx

Assuming you are referring to WM inventory, it is very similar. Inventory is conducted at the SU level in WM if you are HU managed. One of the most widely known issues is the lack of ability to post differences of nested HUs at the WM level. If you are not using nested HUs, the process is the same as storage unit management without handling unit management.
