| Link: add a child handling unit to a parent handling unitYou can click Link to Parent on the appropriate menu of the Compose Handling Units (whwmd5130m100) session to add a child handling unit to another
handling unit. Linking a handling unit to a parent handling unit is subject to
the following conditions: - The handling unit and the child handling unit must be located
in the same warehouse.
- The child handling unit cannot have a parent. If you want to
link a handling unit that has a parent, you must unlink the handling unit from
the parent first. For further information, see Unlink: remove a child handling unit from a parent handling unit.
You can move a handling unit to another parent handling unit
if the new parent handling unit allows multiple stock points or if the stock
point details of both handling units match. For example, handling unit A contains lot A. Handling unit B
allows multiple stock points. In that case, you can move handling unit A to
parent B. If handling unit B does not allow multiple stock points, but contains
lot A, moving handling unit A to handling unit B is also allowed. If handling unit B does not allow multiple stock points, and
contains lot C, moving handling unit A to handling unit B is not allowed. If
handling unit B does not allow multiple stock points, and handling unit A
contains multiple lots, moving handling unit A to handling unit B is not
allowed. - The child handling unit and the parent handling unit cannot
contain the same item. To add a child handling unit to a parent that contains
the same item, you must create detail handling units for the parent. For
further information, see Create detail handling units.
- The child handling unit can have child handling units of its
own.
- For further information about restrictions to handling unit
maintenance, see Handling unit maintenance conditions.
To add a child handling unit to a handling unit structure,
proceed as follows: - In the Compose Handling Units (whwmd5130m100) session, use the fields of the Selection Filter group box to retrieve the child
handling unit and the parent handling unit to which you want to add the child
handling unit.
- In the Compose Handling Units (whwmd5130m100) session, select the handling unit that you want
to add to the parent handling unit.
- On the appropriate menu, select the Link to Parent command.
- In the dialog box that appears, enter the code of the parent
handling unit to which you want to add the child handling unit.
As a result, the child handling unit is linked to the
parent. Tip Use the Handling Unit Tree to maintain a handling unit or
handling unit structure. The tree structure provides a graphical overview of
the structure of the handling unit that you are viewing or maintaining and has
the same maintenance functionality as the Compose Handling Units (whwmd5130m100) session. | |
