Yard Management and Handling Unit Management
I am configuring yard Management in ECC6.0 for a LSP business. Ecc 6.0 is standard and not LSP sepcific industry.
Requirement is :
Track the Container once unloaded at the Port with its content - This I have mapped as HU management.
Recieve the Container at the Freight Forwarder (FF) Whse and perform Check In activity. .
Ability to issue Gate Pass once vehicle arrives at the ,FF whse.
Keep track of inventory of Containers by Shipping Line.
Recieve Empty containers from Shipping line.
Know the container as to how long it has been at the FF Whse to bill the Shiping line for Storage charges of the Container.
Solution concept:
I am thinking that this will be used with HU management and Yard Management. Only doubt I have is that whether Yard Management will track my Containers or Not. The Gate Pass Issued by Yard Management is for the Vehicle and not the Container.
Any inputs will be highly appreciated
Thanks
Raj
Hi Rajeev,
Thanks for the Answer. yes, I need reports to Track the Container by Freight Forwarder ie if a Container belongs to P&O Nedlyod shipping line then I should get the details of teh same . Also Empty Container comes in and then its loaded with Outbound delivery. I am putting the container number in the Container field when we do the check in and putting the forwarding agent as the respective shipping line that way I will know how many container of different size of Forwarder is in my Yard.
Also client wants a way to create a Container Master ie The shipping line gives a list of Empty containers which are lying at the Port. Only when the client needs the containers , he will ask for the same with the shipping line.Not sure is there any standard way of handling this in Yard Management. I am more inclined to make a Z Table to store this data.
Also in the process once I have the container in the Yard , I need to stuff this container with Deliveries. I am planning to Pack the Delivery goods on a Pallet and then Pack this Pallet on to the Conatiner. I am doing this via VL02n transaction . I was somehow unable to locate the Container by Conainer ID when I need to stuff the same in VL02N. Maybe I am missing something or is the data not available? If not , then I plan to get the same by means of some user exit on the HU side ie Check for a HU which is Empty and has the type 20 feet or 40 feet as the case may be and show a Pop up of the same and let user select the COntainer in which he needs to pack the Pallets.
Any pointers will be highly appreciated.
Regards
Rajendra

PACKING AND HANDLING UNIT MANAGEMENT
HELLO GURUS,
Please help me out in handling a project consisting of Packing and HU. I want to know how it can be done in dairy products. Here in dairy, we will have two kinds of packing. One is milk into Plastic packet and the other one is packets into crates. If you give detailed customization part along with the sequence of the steps, it would be of great help. Your fast reply in this regard is highly appreciated.
Ravindra
SAP SD consultantTo define Packing you should follow the below mentioned SAP Menu path.
1. Define Number Ranges for Handling Units by going to IMG-->Logistics Execution >Shipping>Packing-->Define Number Ranges for Handling Units
2. Packing Control by Item Category
3. Define Packaging material Types
4. Define Material Group for Packaging Materials
5. Define Allowed Packaging Materials
6. Define Packing Instructions
Transaction code POP1
SAP Menu R/3 Easy Access>Logistics>Central Functions>Handling Unit Management>Master Data>Packing Instructions>Create
7. Define Packing Instructions Determination Records
Check with Material master data if the error comes. maintain material group pack matl.

Handling Unit Management and supply areas with WM/control cycles
Dear all,
has anyone come across the issue how to handle a replenishment process for production with supply area within WM and Handling Unit Management?
Normally a supply area is being staged via control cycles. in the supply area, all storage units get lost (standard functionality as far as I know). When we post the GI, the components will be taken out of the supply area, backflushing is not allowed as far as I know.
Now: what happens if HUM is switched on? Do we have to enter a HU for these GI's as well? Or does the supply area keep the information of the SU/HU? I want to avoid that the users have to tell the system the HU no. for every screw they take/consume...
Thanks & regards
ChristianHi,
(as already described,)
it is possible to use handling unit management together with lean
warehouse management. You activate handling unit management independent
from storage unit management (that is only possible in case of full-WM
as far as I know).
Only in case if storage location is full-WM- AND HU-managed the storage
unit management is always active and HU numbers are taken over as SU
numbers. In all other cases HUM and SUM are independent from each other
and number ranges must be set a way that they are not overlapping.

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,
MaxxAssuming 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.

MTS with batch management, serialization and Handling unit
Hello All,
I am testing a scenario for MTS with batch management, serialization and Handling unit for discrete manufacturing.
Everything worked fine till I created the Handling unit for the finished product.
The production order has a quantity of 3 EA.
It has three serial numbers 1, 2 and 3. (serial numbers can be displayed from order->Header->serial numbers)
I created one Handling unit for production order quantity of 3 EA.
I tried to do a goods receipt for the production order using transaction COWBHUWE.
I get the following error when I try to post the GR:
Only 0 serial numbers entered instead of 3
Message no. IO304
Diagnosis
There is a serial number obligation, so the number of serial numbers must equal the number of serial numbers in the material document.
You can post the operation only if you entered the correct number of serial numbers previously.
System Response
Depending on the context in which the error arises, the system continues processing, or the required function cannot be performed.
Procedure
You have the following options, for example:
Check that the serial numbers are entered fully.
If necessary, display an error log.
If necessary, contact your system administrator.
What did I miss?
How to fix this problem?
Please help.
Thanks in advance
GeorgeI added the serialization procedure HUSL to the serial number profile and it fixed the problem.

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:
AbhishekFirst 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

Handling Unit Managment Process flow
Hi all,
I am implementing Handling Unit Management currently. I am looking for; how does the business process flow change once HUM is activated.
So far, I got an idea:
GR process:
Purchase Order -> Goods Receipt (MIGO) -> ASN(Inbound Delivery) -> Pack & Create Handling Unit -> Post Goods Receipt(via the Inbound Delivery)
GI process:
Sales Order -> Outbound Delivery ->Pick & Pack(Handling Unit) -> Goods Issue
Please let me know if i am correct in my assumption.
Also, I would like to know how the stock is transferred from the stock stored in HU's in the warehouse to the stock which is to be delivered.
For example :
I store a material X in HU's in multiples of 500. I have to deliver to a customer around 100 pieces of X.
How do I go about unpacking the HU of 500, then creating 2 HU's (one with 400 pieces to be stored back in the warehouse, and the other HU of 100 pieces for the customer.)
Is it possible to do so ?
Or I need to create a separate storage location where I have to keep the partial unpacked 400 pieces ?
Anyone's help will be appreciated in this matter.
Thanks,

Reversal of delivery with handling unit management/HU #
Hello all,
I would like to know whether the delivery with handling unit management is reversed using LTOG. if it is reversed using LTOG in which storage type would the stock be posted back and would the packaging material of the handling unit be the same when the delivery is canceled and posted back in stock. pl. advise.
Thanks,
MaxxHi Ramana,
Thanks for your reply.
in your answer you have said it is not possible to reverse a TO with HU.
But is it possible to reverse a delivery where the HUs are created only after packing the delivery items. if it is possible then how the packaging materials in the handling unit that are reversed are handled and where are the stocks that are returned after the delivery is cancelled is posted - i would like to know the standard sap storage type in which the stocks are posted once the delivery is cancelled or reversed.
Thanks,

Handling unit management rquired
Hi Friends,
How do we determine that we need to implement HUM with in four walls?What are the specific business scenarios that require the HUM to be implemented? is the HUM implemented at plant level or the storage location level ? Please provide some info.
ThanksHi,
you can activate HUM I) systemwide (TVSHP-EXIDV_UNIQUE). If you have HUM activated in your system, II) you can use handling unit managed storage locations (T001L-XHUPF).
I) If HUM is not activated in the system, the packing process takes place as in the former releases, before release 4.6C:
- packing object is called Shipping Unit
- packing is only allowed through delivery/shipment processing
- no chance to identify a Shipping Unit without reference to object (delivery/shipment).
HUM deals with all the packing processes
- links business processes across all logistics applications; logistics processes (goods movements) based on HU processing are easier, which in turn optimises all logistics operations; you track the movements of entire HUs and the materials they contain rather than tracking each material individually (simplified processing of material movements, which therefore optimizes the logistics processes)
- do not require a reference to a document and, in contrast to shipping units, are independent objects; you can identify an HU without reference to object (as they have a unique identification number)
II) Handling unit managed 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.

Hi folks,
I very urgently need some documents about SAP HUM.
Can any one help me.
LaxmananSAP HU - SAP Handling Unit Management (HUM)
The SAP HU is used for tracking the handling units used by the materials. Some common handling units are packagings materials like cartons, pallets etc.
In the SAP system, the handling unit (HU) expands on the shipping unit. Handling units can be nested and you can also create new handling units from several handling units as often as you like. At the material item level, HUs contain the complete material identification, the quantity, and, in the case of serial numbers, the respective object list. Handling units have unique,
scannable identification numbers that can be developed according to standards such as EAN 128 or SSCC.
Handling units contain all inventory management information of the materials they contain that are maintained in Inventory Management. There are also status messages that you can call up at any time that indicate whether a handling unit is only planned or if the ship-to party has been notified of the arrival of this handling unit, or whether it is in the warehouse or has already been posted to goods issue. The integrated history function also records each business process in
the life cycle of each handling unit, meaning that you can track the handling units path and development at any time.
Refer to : Logistics -> Central Functions -> Handling Unit Management
In HU-managed storage locations, all goods movements are executed through the specification of the respective HUs, and Inventory Management is performed through the handling units. If you are working without HU-managed storage locations, you can work with handling units (without stock information) as before in the delivery and in the shipment.
In HU-managed storage locations, materials can be managed in HUs only. Mixed stock made up of packed and non-packed materials within the same storage location are not supported. HUs can also be managed in interim storage types. Unpacking a material from a HU means that the stock of the material is posted to a storage location that is not HU-managed.
If you call up normal material movements in connection with an HU-managed storage location, a delivery is created, rather than a direct material posting, which has been the procedure up to now.
Please note that if you want to use 311 to move the material already in stock, but in a non HUM Storage Location and you want to transfer those materials into a HUM Storage Location 304. If this is the case you can use the transaction VLMOVE with the destination plant and storage location. Before that you have to create the HU with the transaction code HU02 Storage location: where the material is and the status: in stock.
Handling units are unique at client level in at least one system. Using an indicator at client level, you can control whether you are going to work with the HU functions. Since the handling unit is a physical unit, the central logistics processes are controlled through the input of the handling unit identification. These processes include putaway, picking, and stock transfers, as well as goods receipts and goods issues.
A handling units mobility can be limited if quality checks are active. Changes in the stock category caused by a quality inspection are made using a posting change in the handling unit.
There is also a report available that you can use to find and display handling units using different selection criteria such as material, packing instruction, or storage location.
Although the handling unit is basically a unit that remains constant in the system, you can change it by repacking the materials it contains. All the packing functions, such as packing, repacking, and unpacking, are completely supported by the handling unit functionality. In this way, handling units can be created in production, during goods receipt, or in the packing areas of the warehouse. If you have automatic packing, the handling unit is created from the packaging proposals defined in the system (from the packing instructions, for example).

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

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

Edited by: Csaba Szommer on Dec 9, 2008 11:59 AMHi,
"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...
