You can use control parameters to make settings in the SAP System for the packing and handling unit (HU) functions.
In order for you to implement the packing function , your system administrator must maintain the following parameters for packing in the Implementation Guide (IMG):
Define Number Ranges for Handling Units
Define Packaging Material Types
Define Allowed Packaging Materials
Define Material Group for Packaging Material
If you want to use the additional fields that are available for customer-defined modifications of the packing function, choose the Use Handling Unit Supplements activity.
You can also maintain the following control parameters for packing in delivery processing :
Packing Control by Item Category
Define Requirements for Packing in the Delivery
If you want to use the HU function in other processes besides delivery processing, you must ensure unique identification of handling units .
