For the production supply, you can pick ingredients manually in handling units (HUs). This includes

Manual packing of ingredients in HUs

Picking is carried out using the reservation items of the process order.

The Picking for Production Order screen appears.

Enter the measured and packed materials for the process order.

You can check which materials are assigned to the process order but not yet picked on the Open Reservations tab page.

The Operation column

In the master recipe, a material can be assigned to an operation or a phase, in order to ensure the correct sequence in production. If a material is not assigned to a phase, the system automatically assigned it to the first phase of the process order. During picking, the material can then

be assigned to any phase

be assigned to no phase.

Packing the material:

Select the material.

Choose a Packaging material type .

Choose Pack .

An HU number is automatically assigned to the reservation item.

The HU number can be assigned independently if an external number range assignment has been maintained in Customizing. The HU number must then correspond to this number range.

Packing HUs in higher-level HUs for picking (for example on a pallet):

Select a container hierarchy.

Select the HUs to be packed.

Completing manual picking

Choose Save

The PI sheet appears.

The system conforms that picking was successfully carried out with y (yes) .

If picking was not successfully carried out, an error message appears.

Enter a digital signature if the system requires one.

The picking data is transferred to the batch record. You can use the message monitor to check whether the messages were processed correctly. This is necessary if the system does not send the messages automatically.

For more information, see SAP Integration Using Process Messages .

Manual picking can be called up again after completion.

It is a good idea to pick parts of the materials at different times during production. For example, the materials for the first phase(s) can be completely picked, and the remaining materials can be partially picked.
