Create an HU Proposal Manually (SAP Library - Goods Receipt Process for Inbound Deliveries)

Create an HU Proposal Manually

Prerequisites

When creating a handling unit proposal manually, you must enter the complete HU data. Enter the items in order of load carrier, packaging materials and then packed goods, so that the system can automatically build the hierarchy.

The system can determine the item category from the Packaging material type in the material master, under Sales: General/Plant Data: If this field is empty, or not ready for input, the item is a packed goods item. If the item is packaging material, this field is filled. In this case, the system checks in Customizing for Shipping, under Packing ® Define Packaging Material Types, whether the Packaging material category of the corresponding packaging material type is load carrier or auxiliary packaging material. (If there is no material with the specified name, the system assigns item category I).

You have accessed the packing transaction in the various areas and, if necessary, made the settings required for the manual creation of HU proposals.

Procedure

Manual quick entry allows you to easily create an HU proposal in the packing transaction, if no appropriate packing instruction exists or you do not want to pack automatically.

Enter the quantity for the load carrier in the first row of the table under Quantity/HU, and the corresponding material number under Material. Proceed in the same way for all other items, observing the order of entry described above.
Choose Continue.

The system builds the hierarchy and fills in the fields in the table, such as the Item category. The system takes the measurements from the material master record. The materials to be packed are put in a separate row.

Modify the HU proposal if necessary.
Save.

This example describes how the system builds the hierarchy in case of manual quick entry.

Enter the following data:

Quantity/HU	Material
3	Pallet
1	Pallet cover
10	Box
5	Packed goods

The system creates the following HU from these entries:

Level 1	Level 2	Quantity/HU	Material	Item category
3		3	Pallet	A
*		1	Pallet cover	B
*	10	10	Box	A
	*	5	Packed goods	C
