Packaging Item Transactions (whinr1115m000)

	Packaging Item Transactions (whinr1115m000) Use this session to record the received and issued quantities of packaging items by date. LN updates the session during the receipt and shipping process for transactions that have a packaging item. Packaging items can be linked to a handling unit, receipt line, shipment, or container. The session is updated even if no shipping material account is used for packaging items. You can enter the packaging item transactions manually. Note LN records the packaging item transactions in this session only when the: Extended Packaging Item Registration check box is selected in the Master Data Parameters (whwmd0100s000) session. Accountable check box is selected in the Packaging Items (whwmd4505m000) session. Important! Transfer orders and adjustment orders are not logged in the packaging item transactions because no business partner is related to these processes. Container-related shipments for sales transfer orders are not logged, because no unique link can be determined between a container and the sales order. For sales orders of type transfer, an exception is made to support a VMI scenario where goods flow through a VMI warehouse. The transfer sales orders are used for VMI scenarios that deliver the goods from own warehouse to a VMI warehouse and, after that, the issue to the customer is carried out. The business partner is determined at the original sales order. You can select the stage in the supply process at which the packaging item related transactions are updated by LN in the Update Shipping Material Account during field of the Warehouses (whwmd2500m000) session (in case of a logistical service provider (LSP) scenario). The field is enabled only for VMI warehouses in which warehouse management is not carried out by own company. The packaging item related transactions can be updated by LN at the following points in supply process: Shipment to VMI Warehouse: The shipping material account must be updated during the shipment of (packaging) items from the normal warehouse to the VMI warehouse. Consumption by Customer: The shipping material account must be updated during the shipment of (packaging) items from the VMI warehouse (Logistical Service Provider (LSP) warehouse) to the customer/OEM (Original Equipment Manufacturer). Not Applicable: LN assigns this value for warehouses in which the own company is doing inventory management. To record the packaging item transactions, you must select the Extended Packaging Item Registration check box in the Master Data Parameters (whwmd0100s000) session. Limitations Only logistics data is stored in the session. No financial data is stored. Invoicing is a manual action. Only receipts and shipments that are related to a business partner are updated in the packaging item transactions session. The sessions that record related packaging item balances are updated only for business partner-related transactions. Therefore, warehouse transfer orders and inventory adjustments are not taken into account. For sales orders of type transfer, an exception is made to support a VMI scenario where goods flow through a VMI warehouse. ( For more information, refer to Logistic service providers (LSP) - packaging item registration). The logging of packaging item transactions at the moment of consumption by the customer is not based on consumed stock point information from the VMI/LSP warehouse. Packaging material transactions must be logged separately from the regular item consumptions and are processed during the processing of sales consumptions.

Note The Quantity in Inventory Unit field cannot be modified if the Manual check box is clear. Inventory Unit The unit of measure in which the inventory of an item is recorded, such as piece, kilogram, box of 12, or meter. The inventory unit is also used as the base unit in measure conversions, especially for conversions that concern the order unit and the price unit on a purchase order or a sales order.
