Creating Container Structures (Link Handling Unit)

To create container structures composed of multiple containers, you can add smaller containers to larger ones by linking the smaller container handling unit, called the child handling unit, to the larger container handling unit, called the parent handling unit. For example, if you add a box to a pallet, you must link the box handling unit to the pallet handling unit.

Link Handling Unit is a transaction belonging to the Handling Unit Sub-Menu on the Warehouse Mobility icon based and list based menus.

On the Handling Unit Sub-Menu:

  1. Select Link HU.
  2. Specify this information:
    Create Parent
    Specify whether to link the handling unit to a new parent handling unit or to assign an existing handling unit as its parent. If you specify Yes, a new parent will be created. If you specify No, specify the parent handling unit in the Parent HU field.
    Handling Unit
    Specify the child handling unit.
  3. Select Process. If the child handling unit was linked to another parent handling unit before the transaction, it is now unlinked from that parent.
