| Examples of Changing Handling Units (Single Item<=>
Multi-Item) LN generates only single-item handling units. The composition of multi-item
handling units is a manual process. You can change a single-item handling unit
into a multi-item handling unit. When you change a single-item handling unit
into a multi-item handling unit, often a different label layout applies. For details, refer to the online Help of: Example A shipment contains two items, inner mirror and outer left
mirror of a car. Initially the shipment has two shipment lines, one line for
item inner mirror and one for item outer left mirror. Assume that there are 2
single-item masters and every master has 2 singles (this means that: every
(single item) parent handling unit contains 2 child handling units. This means
that there are 4 single-item singles (this means that there are four child
hadling units). The table below shows the defined label layout
codes. Selling Item | Packaging Info
Single | Packaging Info Master |

Inner
Mirror | KLT1234, Label Layout Code Single-Item = AAA | Pallet,
Label Layout Single-Item = KKK, Label Layout Multi-Item =
LLL | Outer Left Mirror | KLT5678, Label Layout Code
Single-Item = BBB | Container, Label Layout Single-Item = MMM, Label
Layout Multi-Item = NNN |
Different Scenarios Scenario 1: The singles containing
the outer left mirrors are manually taken from the container and put on the
pallet containing the inner mirrors. This means that the pallet becomes a
multi-item handling unit. Multi-item label Layout LLL is now used for printing
the label for the pallet. Label layouts AAA and BBB are still used for printing
the labels of the singles. Multi-item label layout NNN of the container does
not play a role. Scenario 2: Now in the alternative
procedure, the singles containing the inner mirrors are manually taken from the
pallet and put in the container containing the outer left mirrors. This means
that the container becomes a multi-item handling unit. Multi-item label Layout
NNN is now used for printing the label for the Container. Label layouts AAA and
BBB will still be used for printing the labels of the singles. Multi-item label
layout LLL of the Pallet does not play a role. Scenario 3: A brand new master handling
unit is created. The singles are taken from the pallet and the container and
put on the brand new handling unit. When creating the brand new handling unit,
no package definition is available and also no default label layout is
available. In this case it is the responsibility of the end-user to manually
populate the desired label layout code.
