Using handling units in the shipment process

• Only a single handling unit can be linked to a shipment line.

• The handling units that are generated during staging and are linked to the shipment line, are always single-item handling units. When multiple items (or multiple lots/serials of the same item) are shipped in one shipment, multiple handling units are created, one for each shipment line.

• A virtual/dummy handling unit is created when multiple handling units are merged into one shipment line during the pick process. Therefore, the handling unit structure as stored in LN does not reflect the actual physical structure.

• During the pick and handling unit composition process, multiple handling units can be linked to one shipment line.
• No dummy handling units are created.
• Composing handling units do not impact the administrative structure of the shipment.
