Manual Picking with Process Orders (SAP Library - Handling Units in Process Manufacturing)

Manual Picking with Process Orders

Use

You can use this function to manually enter packed handling units (HU).

It allows you to:

Pack each batch of a material in one or several HUs

Pack several batches of a material or several materials in an HU

Pack packed HUs into other HUs

Prerequisites

You can use the standard process instruction category MI_HUSTG, which must be assigned to the master recipe, to carry out manual picking. This involves a dynamic function call.

The process instruction MI_HUSTG for manual picking is not to be changed, but rather to be copied as it is.

PI Sheets

Features

The dialog box for manual picking is divided up in the following sections:

Materials

Here you enter the materials, batches, and quantities to be picked for the process order. The system checks if the batches entered fulfill the required selection criteria. The system uses the selection criteria defined for batch determination.

Open reservations

The components that are assigned to the process order but not yet picked are listed here.

Assign HU

Here you can assign HUs without a reference to an object ("free" HUs) to the process order.

For more information, see Packing without Object Reference.

Container Hierarchy

Here you form nested HUs in which you pack HUs in other superior HUs (for example, on a pallet).

2. Checking manual picking

You can display the number of components for which a quantity has already been picked without calling up the manual picking function again. To do this, the standard process instruction category MI_HUSTC must be defined in the master recipe. This is done from the PI sheet.

The standard process instruction category contains the following characteristics:

Characteristic	Characteristic value
PPPI_FUNCTION_NAME	COMI_CHECK_PICKING_COMPLETE
PPPI_BUTTON_TEXT	Check picking
PPP_FUNCTION_DURING_DISPLAY	Allowed/not allowed
PPPI_EXPORT_PARAMTER	I_AUFNR
PPPI_PROCESS_ORDER

Transfer of the data from the batch record (EBR - Electronic Batch Record)

Data is passed from picking to the batch record automatically as soon as you exit picking by choosing Save. The messages are sent to message destination PI01 by the standard process message category PI_HUREC.

The following characteristics are transferred:

Characteristic	Characteristic value
PPPI_HU_ID_NO	Internal HU number
PPPI_HU_EXT_ID_NO	External HU number
PPPI_MATERIAL	Material number
PPPI_BATCH	Batch number
PPPI_MATERIAL_QUANTITY	Material quantity
PPPI_UNIT_OF_MEASURE	Unit of measure
