Weight in handling unit

Can anyone tell me how does the system calculate the loading weight in the handling unit?
Can anyone also tell me where to do all the settings.
In the handling unit the total weight appears 54 althought the weight of the delivery 36 LB. The packaging material weight is .01 kg. the number of items are 20 and their weight is 1.84.

Weight from Handling Unit not copied into outbound delivery weight field.

Hi,
We create handling units with hupast and with a weight interface. If we select the HU in the outbound delivery, we need the total weight of all HU displayed in the outbound delivery. This is not happening. The total weight which is shown is the weight of the material master.
How can we put HU weight in the outbound delivery?
Thank you,
Eric van Zundert.

hi Eric,
you habe to do this with a user exit.
In the deliveries, there is only one good userexit at the time save dcoument prepare. -- there is a oss - note for it.
I copy at every save the sum of the HU-weights in the fields of likp.
Additionally at time of goods out - boocking, i collect the LIKP-weight upon all positions of the lips, so that the sum of lips-weights will give the likp-weight.
You need to do this, because in invoice, the weight is taken as sum of the positions and the following processes of export will also take the weight of the invoice-position.

Manual Gross Weight from Handling Unit to Outbound Delviery

Hi Friends,
I have a question related to gross weight replication from HU to outbound delivery document. During delivery process, for packing, system calculates the gross weight on the basis of weight from the material master however the weight is not accuare and for that we modify the value with the actual gross weight of the physical packing. Now when return to the outbound delivery screen, system is not replicating the updated weight entered in HU and showing as blank value.
Please help, is this standard behaviour or how to correct the problem...we are using ECC5.0
Appreciate your support.
Best Regards,
Goutham

Hi Gaoutham,
This issue is related to suspicious development in user exit. I faced the same issue in an earlier project, where the HU weight is not changed manually when u go back to delivery screen. Finally developer had found the some Z table where it was mentioned like if sales organsation so and so... then it should not allow to change the weight manually and the remark was maintained as "X" in front of particular field.
Please try this and confirm.
Thanks & Regards,

Handling unit weight into outbound delivery weight?

Hi,
I would like to transfer the total of my Handling unit weight to my outbound delivery weight. This is at this moment copied from the Sales order. How can I change that SAP will use the weights of the HU? Anybody?
Thank you,
Eric van Zundert.
Edited by: eric van zundert on Feb 25, 2008 2:49 PM

Dear Eric,
if you also want to add the weight of the packaging materials to the weight of the delivery, you will have to create a delivery item for the packaging materials. Please check note 831204 for the necessary settings.
I hope I could help you with this.

Ely

Missing Weight / Volume data in handling unit

Hi; I'm trying to realize automatic packing function for outbound delivery.
System works well after POP1 - creating packing instruction, POF1 packing instruction determination. However, after I change package material master data (Volume / Weight), handling unit is missing weight, Volume data in new created delivery document although packing instruction has been determined.
Checking Packing instruction master data, total weight / volume has been automatically updated. Why new handing unit is missing weight / volume data during automatic packing transaction in delivery?
Is there any things i'm missing? Can anyone help for this? Thanks.

Thanks for your answers, Csaba and muthuraman.d.
Yes. I was also supposing that HU can automatically calculate weight / Volume from Material master data (package material & packed material). It worked before(the week before last week). Now new generated HU are missing those data. This error is in case on all deliveries.
Even I create new package material / new finish goods and brand NEW packing instruction for testing, HU can be automaticly generated by auto packing button. But they are missing weight / volume data. This problem seems not relevant to master data(package material weight / volume) changes. I'm suspecting system program has some changes but I don't know where it is.
Only when I set indicator at packing instruction - " Maintain Weight manually" or "Maintain Volume Manually", those weight / volume data can be coppied into new generated HU in delivery which is full packed.
System really can automatic calculate weight / volume data directly from Material master data for HU before(not set - "Maintain xxx manually" in packing instruction). What's wrong with it now?

Changing Handling unit weight does not update delivery header weight

Dears,
when we pack an item on a palett, system calculates tara-weight + material weight = gross weight and inserts this value to the likp-btgew. this is correct.
now it happens, that shipping departement uses a scale to get the 'real' weight of the handling unit. if the weigth differs, they change the loading weight of the HU. system calculates correct the new gross weight of the HU.
But when going back to delivery view, the likp-btgew is not updated. Do we miss a setting?
thanks a lot for your help!

Link between delivery and handling unit split items

Hi All,
I have an delivery wit 4 different line items. While creating the Packing we created the Handling units for the delivery.
In Handling unit one line item is split into 2 boxes.
like   handling unit     gross weight
            1                        20
            2                       20
           3                        20
           4                        10 split
           5                         10 split
so now i want to display the delivery line item and gross weight. For last line item i have to add the both handling unit 4 and 5 and display the gross weight.
In VEKP table i have only delivery number for the reference for all handling units. but not line item. So how can we find out for which delivery line item of the handling unit was split.
                       Thanks,
Venkata Pavan Kumar. Chandrapatla

Hello,
Use item level table VEPO for all the details.
I hope this will solve your problem.

Hi Sailaja,
I have similar requirements like this before with HU_PACKING_AND_UNPACKING FM. It was a tough debugging before I came up with the right solution. Unfortunately, I was not able to document that code..
But here is what I have been doing.
Youre on track with the solution below, never use BDC as it will only limit the Handling units that you wish to put into.
The function modules that starts with V5_ plays important role as you need to initialize the global variables and table of this function group with values before calling HU_PACKING_AND_UNPACKING FM
Debug inside the Function module, and look for the FM that returns SY-SUBRC <> 0 then set a breakpoint.
Restart the program then debug inside that FM again (and I do not want to go further on the details, I give you the presumption of literacy)
You will find some items that has no value, try to initialize everything by utilizing the FM for this function group V51S.
Happy Debugging.

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.

Shipment cost information - handling units

Hello ,
( After reviewing notes 393849, 934370 , 746606 )
i have a problem with shipment cost information from sales
order ( VA02 ; VICI ) when the shipment cost is calculated according to handling units.
In our S.C.C regular scenario the shipment cost is calculated according to the packing materials in the shipment ( VT02 ) .
The pricing procedure includes the follwing condition records :
Condition y050 : Calc.type - S ( number of shipping units ) ;
                  Calc.base - C ( Handling units ) .
and a few conditions with the same definition as :
Condition y051 : Calc.type - S ( number of shipping units ) ;
                  Calc.base - '' ( ALL ) .
( in order to overcome regular S.C.C customization the above
p.procedure is determined in exit - shipment costing : configure
pricing - V54B001 - EXIT_SAPLV54B_001 ) .
After filling the necessary fields in VA01/VA02 such as Material , volume , weight , packing proposal and then executing the shipment cost information according to the planning profile we get error message
( VY-140 ) :
" shipment cost not saved because they contain no items " .
After debugging in   - EXIT_SAPLV54B_002 : none of the handling units in VA01/VA02 ( packing proposal ) is transferred to pricing structure "KOMP" and therefore the shipment cost calculation is
not completed ( to my best knowledge . . . ) .
when proccessing the transactions online VA02->VL02N the packing proposal is transferred as expected .
any ideas ?
Regards
ASA

Hi Sudeer,
Once again please check the configuration steps
-->Define Shipment cost information profile
-->Assign planning profile
-->Also check the variants which you are maintaining in the planning profine.
-->Check the input data in the variants which you have maintained.

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 cost in outbound delivery

Hello,
When i create an outbound delivery i pack the materials in handling units.
My question is how to include the packaging material of the handling unit within the delivery in order we can debit the customer.
In fact in the delivery we are sending the customer not only the materials from the order but also the packaging material (such as pallet) so we want to include this packaging material in the costs.
Thanks in advance.
Shmulik

Dear Eric,
if you also want to add the weight of the packaging materials to the weight of the delivery, you will have to create a delivery item for the packaging materials. Please check note 831204 for the necessary settings.
I hope I could help you with this.
Regards,
Ely

Handling unit output and packaging

Hi All,
How to configure packaging and how to see the output of this?
How to see the handling unit output?
My Client's Business scenario is:
The finished product to be packed in pallets, pallets to be packed in container and container in truck.
4 qts of finished product to be packed in 1 pallet, 2 pallets to be packed in 1 container and 1 container to be packed in truck. How to configure this?
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.
Reward points for helpful answer.

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.

Handling unit content

Hello,
I wish to read the handling unit content data which is basically represented by HUMV4 structure. Can you help me to understand, how to read the particular data.
Regards
Anurag

Thanks Ravi but I need information which is a step below VEPO...if you check a shipment and goto packing details screens for weight and volumes...the HUMV4 structure stores the weight and volume for each packing material.(basically I am interested in that)
