Use Handling Unit Supplements

In the handling unit table, you will find five reserve fields that are not assigned to specific functions and that you can fill and use installation-specifically. The fields can be reached from the packaging screen. Handling unit groups 1-5 are available to you for additional data and can be defined as you require.

The following five fields have been included in table VEKP:

VEGR1 (handling unit group 1)

VEGR2 (handling unit group 2)

VEGR3 (handling unit group 3)

VEGR4 (handling unit group 4)

VEGR5 (handling unit group 5)

The check tables TVE1 - TVE5 exist for the fields.

Example

You want, for example, to use the additional field VEGR1 to define a level of fragility regarding the packaging content, so that you can carry out statistical evaluations on the basis of these specifications. Proceed as follows:

1. Change data element VEGR1:

Change the short description "Handling unit group 1" to "Risk factor".

Change the respective key words.

2. Activate data element VEGR1.

3. Maintain the entity table TVE1, for example, by specifying the following values:

"01" fragile

"02" not particularly fragile

"03" robust

Recommendation

SAP recommends that you use the existing additional fields for individual modifications to the packing function and that you avoid adding further new fields wherever possible.

Activities

To use an additional field according to your requirements, proceed as follows:

1. Change the short description of data elements VEGR1-VEGR5 and the texts using the ABAP/4 Dictionary. This way, an individual field receives the required meaning.

2. Activate the changed data elements.
