Packing
Use
When you use the Packing Dialog to pack a catch weight material, the system considers the quantity in the logistics unit of measure and the parallel quantity.
Features
Pack material
In the packing dialog, you can enter data for catch weight materials, not only in the
Partial Quantity
,
Total Quantity
and
Unit of Measure
fields on the
Pack Material
tab page, on the
Material to Be Packed
subscreen, but also in the
Partial Parallel Quantity
,
Total Parallel Quantity
and
Parallel Unit of Measure (PuoM)
fields.
The following applies when you pack catch weight materials:
If you only want to pack a partial quantity, you must also enter the partial parallel quantity.
If you do not enter the parallel quantity, the system determines it using the plan conversion factor from the material master record.
In the Packing per Partial Quantity and Packing If Full functions, the system uses the plan conversion factor defined in the material master to determine the partial parallel quantity and the parallel quantity.
Packing proposal
When you create HU templates, the quantity of a catch weight material to be packed is only displayed in the logistics unit of measure on the
Packing Proposal
tab page in the packing dialog. The relevant parallel quantity is determined using the plan conversion factor defined in the material master.
Single entry
You can find additional fields that you can use to enter parallel quantities and the parallel unit of measure for catch weight materials, on the
Single Entry
tab page, on the
Handling Unit Content
subscreen.
Total content
On the
Total Content
tab page in the packing dialog, you can also enter data for catch weight materials in the
Packed Parallel Quantity
and
Parallel Unit of Measure (PuoM)
fields. If you change the packed parallel quantity on this tab page, the system adjusts the total parallel quantity on the
Pack Material
tab page accordingly.
For more information about this tab page, see Overviews That Are Relevant for Packing .
Automatic packing
For automatic packing of a catch weight material, the system uses the plan conversion factor defined in the material master to determine the parallel quantity, which it then takes into account during the packing process. For more information, see Automatic Packing .
Business Add-In for calculating and checking a parallel quantity
In the standard system, the default implementation of Business Add-In (BAdI) /CWM/HU_GET_2TQ_QTY (BAdI for calculating and checking the parallel quantity) ensures that the parallel quantity can be determined with the plan conversion factor, if you have not specified a parallel quantity. If you want to change this procedure you must define a new BAdI implementation.
For more information on this BAdI, see the BAdI documentation.
