Planned Shipping Handling Unit
An object similar to a shipping HU, describing a packaging material and the items it contains. In contrast to a shipping HU, a planned shipping HU does not physically exist in the warehouse and is only used to plan shipping HUs. Planned shipping HUs are created manually or automatically in cartonization planning. They are used for the creation of shipping HUs during picking or packing.
The system can create PSHUs in automatic cartonization planning. For more information, see Automatic Cartonization Planning.
You can also create and change PSHUs manually. For more information, see Maintenance of Planned Shipping Handling Units.
To use cartonization planning, you must activate the business function EWM, Usability and Implementation 1 (SCM_EWM_USAB_IMPL_1
).
