Packing for an Outbound Delivery
Use
You use this function when you want to pack delivery items for an outbound delivery.
Features
The packing dialog copies information about delivery quantities and picked quantities from the outbound delivery. If the delivery item is a catch weight material, the outbound delivery contains details on the delivery quantity and the picked quantity in the logistics unit of measure and the parallel unit of measure.
You proceed differently for goods issue and stock removal, depending on the storage location you are using (see also Goods Issue Processing with Reference to Outbound Delivery ):
Storage Location Not HU-Managed
If you take the delivery item from a storage location that is not HU-managed, you can pack this delivery item either partially or completely.
You can post the goods issue for this outbound delivery independently of the packed quantities, as no checks are performed to see if there is a difference between the packing quantity and the delivery quantity.
As it is possible to change quantities during packing, the corresponding data is taken from the packing dialog and updated to the outbound delivery.
HU-Managed Storage Location
If you take the delivery item from a storage location that is HU-managed, assign unrestricted-use handling units to the outbound delivery.
In the outbound delivery you can repack HUs but you cannot repost stock.
In the packing dialog you can therefore only change the assigned parallel quantity and not the quantity in the logistics unit of measure. If you want to change the parallel quantity in the packing dialog, the data is updated to the outbound delivery.
You can post the goods issue if the packing quantity and the delivery quantity are identical.
The system checks for possible differences between quantities, but only in relation to the logistics unit of measure.
HU-Managed and WM-Managed Storage Location
You use picking to pack delivery items that are assigned to an HU-managed and WM-managed storage location.
You create a transfer order for an outbound delivery.
The quantity to be removed from storage is assigned to a storage unit, and therefore a handling unit.
You perform picking and then confirm the transfer order.
If you confirm the transfer order, the handling unit is transferred to the interim storage type and is assigned to the outbound delivery.
If the quantity to be removed from storage is smaller than the quantity in the handling unit, when you confirm the transfer order a pick HU is created and the quantity to be removed from storage is packed into this pick HU. In this case, the pick HU is transferred to the interim storage type and is assigned to the outbound delivery.
When you confirm a transfer order in the packing dialog, you have the option of changing the logistics quantity and the parallel quantity.
In the outbound delivery you can repack HUs but you cannot repost stock.
You can post the goods issue if the delivery quantity is identical to the picking quantity and the packing quantity.
HU-Managed and Lean-Managed Storage Location
You proceed in the same way as for HU-managed and WM-managed storage locations. However, for HU-managed and lean-WM-managed storage locations you must define and specify handling units manually.
Automatic Packing
When creating an outbound delivery, the function Automatic Packing allows you to create handling units in the background using packing proposals and to pack all the packable delivery items (see also Packing Automatically When Creating Deliveries ). Catch weight materials are handled in the same way as during manual packing.
