In the
Material to be packed

The system sends you either a success message or notifies you of problems, if the weight or volume limit was reached and not all the items could be packed, for instance.
Note
If you have selected several handling units for packing, then the selected handling unit that is highest in the list is packed first. If not all items to be packed fit in this handling unit, the packing operation is automatically continued with the following selected handling units.
If only a partial quantity of a delivery item is to be packed, you must specify this in the
Partial qty
field for the corresponding item in the
Material to be packed
(or
All HUs that can be packed
) section of the screen.
The weight of the packaging is not added to the total weight of the delivery.
The following illustration shows one delivery item and the partial quantity of another delivery item being packed into a handling unit.
