Background documentationPrerequisites for Cartonization Planning

 

For cartonization planning, the following prerequisites must be met:

  • For the determination of process profiles for cartonization planning, you have carried out the following Customizing activities:

    • Define Process Profiles for Cartonization Planning

    • Determine Process Profiles for Cartonization Planning

    For more information, see Customizing for Extended Warehouse Management under Start of the navigation path Goods Issue Process Next navigation step Cartonization Planning End of the navigation path.

  • For the determination of algorithm profiles for cartonization planning, you have carried out the following Customizing activities:

    • Define Algorithm Profiles for Cartonization Planning

    • Define Access Sequence of Algorithm Profiles

    For more information, see Customizing for Extended Warehouse Management under Start of the navigation path Goods Issue Process Next navigation step Cartonization Planning End of the navigation path.

  • For the determination of algorithm profiles for cartonization planning, you have also made your settings on the SAP Easy Access screen under Start of the navigation path Extended Warehouse Management Next navigation step Settings Next navigation step Determine Algorithm Profiles for Cartonization Planning End of the navigation path.

  • To execute automatic cartonization planning, you have at least one active implementation of the Business Add-In (BAdI) method EXECUTE.

    For more information, see Customizing for Extended Warehouse Management under Start of the navigation path Business Add-Ins (BAdIs) for Extended Warehouse Management Next navigation step Goods Issue Process Next navigation step Cartonization Planning Next navigation step BAdI: Cartonization Planning Algorithm End of the navigation path.

  • You have defined number ranges for the identification of planned shipping handling units (PSHUs).

    For more information, see Customizing for Extended Warehouse Management under Start of the navigation path Goods Issue Process Next navigation step Cartonization Planning Next navigation step Define Number Ranges for Identification of PSHUs End of the navigation path.

  • For the determination of packaging materials for cartonization planning, you have done the following:

    • You have defined condition types for packaging specifications for cartonization planning. You can use the standard condition type 0CAP with access sequence 0CAP.

      For more information, see Customizing for SCM Basis under Start of the navigation path Pack Next navigation step Packaging Specification Next navigation step Determination of Packaging Specifications Next navigation step Define Condition Types End of the navigation path.

    • You have created and activated packaging specification with condition types for cartonization planning on the SAP Easy Access screen for Extended Warehouse Management under Start of the navigation path Master Data Next navigation step Packaging Specification Next navigation step Maintain Packaging Specification End of the navigation path.

    • You have defined a determination procedure for cartonization planning.

      For more information, see Customizing for SCM Basis under Start of the navigation path Pack Next navigation step Packaging Specification Next navigation step Determination of Packaging Specifications Next navigation step Define Determination Procedure End of the navigation path.

    • You have selected a determination procedure for cartonization planning in your warehouse.

      For more information, see Customizing for Extended Warehouse Management under Start of the navigation path Goods Issue Process Next navigation step Cartonization Planning Next navigation step Configure Cartonization Planning on Warehouse Number Level End of the navigation path.

The following prerequisites are optional:

  • To modify the standard grouping of outbound delivery order items before executing the cartonization planning algorithms, you have implemented the BAdI method GROUP_ITEMS.
