Generate handling units from ASNs

You can generate handling units from advance shipment notices (ASNs), in the Shipment Notice (whinh3600m000) and/ or Shipment Notice - Lines (whinh3101m000) sessions. LN allows you to generate handling units, only if the Handling Units in Use check box is selected in the Master Data Parameters (whwmd0100s000) session.

When a packing structure with an External Handling Unit (the ID of the container provided by the business partner) defined, is linked to the ASN line, LN generates a handling unit structure based on the parent-child relations between the External Handling Unit (s) and the Parent External Handling Unit (s).

The structure after generating the handling units:

[...]

The handling unit structure if the individual boxes do not have handling unit codes and are not labeled:

[...]

When the ASN Status is set to Scheduled, the handling unit can be generated by LN based on the Generate Handling Units Automatically from ASNs field in the Inventory Handling Parameters (whinh0100m000) session.

After the handling unit is generated, the ASN can be received by:

  • Using the Receive option in the Shipment Notices (whinh3600m000/whinh3100m000) session.
  • Creating receipt header and use the Add Expected Shipments option.
  • Creating receipt header and use the Receive option.

After linking the ASN (or handling unit of the ASN) to the receipt, the handling unit structure is also linked to the receipt line.
