 Partial Goods Issue Posting with HU

Use

You can use this function to post partial quantities of a handling unit (HU) as a goods issue.

You can carry out partial goods issue posting for the following:

  • All HUs that are created in central picking and are assigned to a manufacturing order

  • Only free HUs that are assigned to a manufacturing order in central picking

Note Note

This function is mainly of importance if you want to assign free HUs to different manufacturing orders. These HUs can contain material quantities for several manufacturing orders. You can use partial goods issue posting to withdraw part of the contents of an order and then use the HU for another manufacturing order.

End of the note.

Integration

This function can be used both in process manufacturing as well as in discrete manufacturing.

Prerequisites

  1. Handling units are used in production.

  1. Customizing: Partial-GI indicator

In Customizing you have specified whether a partial goods issue posting is allowed for all HUs.

Note Note

The default value is defined for each order type. This means you can make various settings for different order types. It is usually a good idea to allow a partial GI posting for production orders, but not for process orders.

End of the note.

You make the settings in Customizing by choosing Start of the navigation path Logistics - General -> Handling Unit Management Next navigation step Basics -> Production Next navigation step Production Supply Next navigation step Set Partial GI Indicator End of the navigation path :

  • Partial GI allowed:

The partial GI is allowed for all HUs that are created for the manufacturing order.

  • Partial GI not allowed:

The partial GI is only allowed for free HUs.

During the picking process, you can decide whether or not a partial goods issue posting is allowed during the production process while assigning the free HUs to a manufacturing order.

  1. Customizing for The Partial GI Indicator : Reassign free HUs

In Customizing for the Partial GI Indicator , you can also define whether HUs that are already assigned to an order can be reassigned to a different order.

Furthermore, you can specify whether an error message, a warning, or no message at all is to appear when reassigning an HU to an order.

Features

  • Post parts of the HU good issue during the completeness check, sequence check or the separate GI posting

  • Change the quantity to be posted manually. The HU maintains its status, and an HU with contents remaining can be used again.

  • If the quantity is not entered, the complete contents of the HU is posted as a goods issue.

Note Note

If the Part. goods issue not allowed indicator is set for the HU, all of the contents of the HU are posted as a goods issue.

Activities

Picking for Manufacturing Orders

In the Picking for Manufacturing Order dialog box, you specify whether or not a partial goods issue posting is allowed in the rest of the production run while assigning a free HU to a manufacturing order. You proceed as follows:

  1. On the Assign HU tab page, you assign a free HU to the manufacturing order.

  2. Select the HU and specify whether or not a partial goods issue is allowed.

Note Note

HUs that are already assigned to another manufacturing order and were only picked can be copied to your current manufacturing order. If an HU has already been processed after being picked, it is not available for other orders until after a partial goods issue posting has been carried out.

End of the note.
