 Reversing Goods Movements for HUs

Use

Goods movement reversal of material documents can be used anytime material documents were posted with reference to handling units. Specifically, the usual reversal process is not possible in HU-managed storage locations.

Prerequisites

Handling units that were involved in goods movement postings may not be changed after the material posting. This includes repacking as well as assignment to a document.

The entire material quantity must be packed in handling units.

Procedure

To reverse goods movements for handling units (HUs), proceed as follows:

  1. From the SAP menu, select Start of the navigation path Logistics Next navigation step Central Functions Next navigation step Handling Unit Management Next navigation step Goods Movement of Handling Units Next navigation step Reversal of Goods Movements for HU. End of the navigation path

  • If you want to reverse entire material documents, select the Material docum. tab.

  • If you want to search for the material document in question using handling units or if you only want to reverse individual material document items, select the Handling units tab.

  1. Enter the material document number (or the handling unit number) or use input help to find it.

  2. You can use the Simulate function to check whether it is possible to reverse a certain material document.

    If you have selected handling units by using the Handling unit tab, you can use Read HUs to display data such as weight and volume for the handling units selected.

    If you want to be sure that you reversed the right material document, you can select Display matl document to display the corresponding material document.

  3. When you select Start of the navigation path Program Next navigation step Execute End of the navigation path , the system checks whether the material document can be reversed; if so, the system reverses the material document.

Note Note

You can either reverse the entire material document or only one material document item. If you want to reverse only one material document item, you must specify all handling units that were posted with this item. These handling units must not contain any other items that refer to other material document items.

Reversal documents cannot be reversed. It is also not possible to reverse a material document that was posted before the material document that was just reversed. For handling units, only the document that was posted most recently can be reversed.

End of the note.

Result

The material document that was selected (or the material document with which a handling unit was last posted) is reversed and a reversal document is created.
