Shipment Line Specific Handling Unit Template

You can compose a shipment line specific packaging structure. The shipment line specific packaging structure is only applied to the concerning shipment line and cannot be reused for other shipment lines. For example, you normally put boxes on a pallet but you now want to put boxes in a container. LN supports this action by creating a shipment line specific handling unit template.

Note

To implement the Specific Packaging functionality, you must select the Handling Units in Use check box in the Master Data Parameters (whwmd0100s000) session.

Specific Packaging --> Shipment Line Specific Handling Unit Template

To replace specific packaging material, you can click appropriate option > Handling Units > Specific Packaging in the Shipment Lines (whinh4131m000) session. The Handling Unit Templates (whwmd4160m000) session starts. In this session you can define the shipment line specific handling unit template.

If case there is no pre-existing specific shipment line handling unit template, the following steps are carried out:

  1. LN generates a new handling unit template ID.

  2. LN defaults a new shipment line specific template. The defaulted template is copied from the following:

    1. The Package Definition field in the Shipment Lines (whinh4131m000) session.
    2. The package definition on the outbound line.
    3. If both package definitions in the steps above are empty, no shipment line specific template is defaulted.

  3. Auxiliary packaging, if present, is copied to the new shipment line specific template.

Click the (Re)generate Handling Unit button in the Handling Unit Templates (whwmd4160m000) session to create a new handling unit structure based on this shipment line specific handling unit template.

Note

LN removes shipment line specific handling unit templates when the corresponding shipment line is deleted from the system.
