Handling Units
in QM 
Use
In
Handling Unit Management, you can perform quality inspections at the level of delivery items forhandling units (HU).
When the goods for a delivery item are packed, the system can automatically create an inspection lot with reference to the assigned handling units.
The quantity of goods in inspection stock are not managed by the inspection lot, but rather by the handling unit. Whenever you post a goods movement while processing an inspection lot, the system determines which handling units are currently assigned to the lot and proposes them for the transfer posting.
Since transfer postings are triggered directly by the handling units, the system always checks whether the postings are allowed. In this way, for example, you can allow transfer postings within inspection stock and block the delivery of handling units in inspection stock to customers.
The system can automatically create an inspection lot for a handling unit for the following goods movements or events:
- Packing upon receipt of delivery
- Packing of finished products during production
Effects on Customizing
In Customizing, you can specify whether or not a certain goods movement is allowed. The following criteria are important in this regard:
- Inspection lot being inspected or usage decision made
- Usage decision valuated with acceptance or rejection
- Long-term inspection active or inactive
- Quality score
