Generate or merge handling units for shipments during
picking
The Generate Handling Unit for Shipment Header during Picking and Consolidate Handling Units in one Shipment Line during Picking check boxes serve to generate a handling unit structure for shipments or
shipment lines. The following examples show how to set these check boxes to
generate the preferred handling unit structure.
| Outbound order
line | Quantity | Handling
unit |
|---|
| 100034 | 1000 | |
| Outbound
advice | | |
|---|
| 360289 | 500 | HU1 |
| 300 | HU2 |
| 500 | HU3 |
Release outbound advice 360289.

header. |
| Shipment line | HU00 | 1000 | Intermediate level

outbound advice are merged into one shipment line and have become child
handling units of HU00. |
| HU2 | 300 |

The handling unit structure fully reflects the shipment
structure.

generated. |
