  Packing Materials Automatically

Prerequisites

You have made all relevant entries in Customizing and in the master data.

Procedure

The settings in Customizing allow you to control the process flow in such a way that the system performs batch determination and packing automatically. However, if you want to perform batch determination and packing manually, proceed as follows:

  1. Create a delivery.

  2. Choose Batch Split to trigger batch determination.

  3. Choose Pack in the item overview for the delivery.

  4. You can see the material to be packed on the Pack Material tab page at the bottom of the next screen.

  5. Choose Automatic Packing .The system generates handling units on the basis of the packaging materials determined, for example, a reel or a container.

    Caution Caution

    When you are working with length-based materials, you must not use the Per Part. Qty and If Full functions in Handling Unit Management because this would cause the length-based material, for example, cable, to be cut and wound onto several reels.

    End of the caution.
