The packing station dialog is suitable for recording which delivery items in which handling units were actually delivered to the ship-to party (from the vendor, for example) in the system. The delivery specialist’s packing proposals can also be updated and new handling units can be assembled for deliveries.
You can call up the packing station dialog from the SAP menu as follows:
For outbound deliveries choose from the SAP menu:
.For inbound deliveries choose from the SAP menu:
.For Handling Unit Management , from the SAP menu select

Unless there is a packing station profile maintained for your terminal ID, the initial screen for the packing station appears.
Select a packing station profile that you could use to pack deliveries, if that is what you plan to pack.
Enter the delivery that you want to pack.
You are now in the packing station dialog.
You can make the following entries in the
Handling unit
field, which is located in the top section of the screen (
HU into which items will be packed
):
If you want to create a new handling unit, enter a packaging material.
Enter an existing handling unit into which you want to pack materials.
Select the
Pack material
tab in the lower section of the screen (
To be packed
). The delivery items that are available to be packed appear.
Enter the material number of the delivery item that you want to pack in the
Material/Handling unit
field.
Note
You can also enter the EAN number in this field instead of the material number. This is especially useful if a scanner is connected to the computer (at the packing station), since it enables you to scan handling units during the packing process.
After confirming the material, enter the quantity that is to be packed in the
Qty
field. If you want to unpack, enter a negative quantity in this field.
After you confirm the quantity, the system packs the corresponding delivery item into the handling unit you selected.
You can refer to the hierarchical overview on the left-hand side of the screen at any time to see how many delivery items are packed into which handling units.
If you want to pack one handling unit into another handling unit, create a new “higher-level” handling unit (by entering a packaging material) and enter the identification of the handling unit that is to be packed in the
Material/Handling unit
field.
Note
If you enter the identification of the handling unit that you just packed in this field once again, the system unpacks that handling unit.
