Handling Unit Management (LO-HU)

Handling Unit Management (LO-HU)

A reflection of the physical material flow in the form of handling units (HUs).

In this process, the system tracks the entire HU rather than individual materials. The HU is the common unit for material and information flow. A business transaction for a HU implies corresponding business transactions in the background for the materials and packaging materials it contains. In this way, one business transaction entry takes the place of several individual material-movement entries.

Example: When you post goods issue for a handling unit, goods issue is posted simultaneously for all the materials it contains.
