Handling Unit Monitor
Use
You can use this report to select handling units that you wish to process, or for which you want to perform transfer postings.
When you pack a catch weight material, you can enter the quantities in the logistics and the parallel unit of measure.
Features
List display for handling units
You can choose between the following list displays for which the system displays both the cumulated parallel quantity and the parallel unit of measure for catch weight materials:
Handling units with cumulated material items
For single-level and hierarchy handling units, the system displays the cumulated parallel quantity and the parallel unit of measure.
HU hierarchy with totals and auxiliary packaging materials
The system displays the cumulated parallel quantity and the parallel unit of measure in the header line.
Single-level list of handling units
Pack material
In the handling unit monitor, 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 specify the parallel quantity explicitly, it will be defined using plan conversion.
In the functions Packing per Partial Quantity and Packing If Full , the system determines the partial parallel quantity and the parallel quantity using the plan conversion factor defined in the material master.
Packing proposal
When you create HU templates, the system only displays the quantity of a catch weight material to be packed in the logistics unit of measure on the Packing Proposal tab page in the handling unit monitor. The system determines the parallel quantity using the plan conversion factor defined in the material master.
Single entry
In the handling unit monitor, additional fields for entry of the parallel quantity and parallel unit of measure are ready for input for catch weight materials on the
Single Entry
tab page, on the
Handling Unit Content
subscreen.
Total content
In the handling unit monitor, you can also enter data for catch weight materials in the
Packed Parallel Quantity
and
Parallel Unit of Measure
(PME)
fields on the
Total Contents
tab page. If you change the packed parallel quantity on this tab page, the system adapts the total parallel quantity on the tab page
Pack material
accordingly.
For more information about this tab page, see Overviews That Are Relevant for Packing .
Automatic packing
When a catch weight material is packed automatically, the system uses the plan conversion factor defined in the material master to determine the relevant parallel quantity, which it takes into account during packing. 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 when you do not enter a parallel quantity, the system determines this using the plan conversion factor. If you want to change this procedure you must define a new BAdI implementation.
For more information on this BAdI, see the BAdI documentation.
Change documents
If creation of change documents has been activated for the handling unit, the system also makes entries in the change document of the relevant handling unit for any changes made to the parallel quantity. You can display these changes from the
HU Monitor: Selected Handling Units
screen. To do this, choose
Goto
Chg Docs
.
