| | To maintain handling unitsHandling unit and handling unit structure maintenance include the following
activities: Create handling unit You can create new handling units and create a handling unit
structure for the new handling unit in the Compose Handling Units (whwmd5130m100) session. Change handling unit details Create handling unit structures You can use Package definitions to create handling unit
structures or you can Manually create handling units and handling unit structure for items in the Compose Handling Units (whwmd5130m100) session. The easiest way to create a handling
unit structure for an item is to define a package definition with a handling
unit template for the item, and, if required, manually change the handling unit
structure. Changing the handling unit structure can be required if, for
example, goods must be repacked for shipping or storage. Maintain handling unit structures In the Compose Handling Units (whwmd5130m100) session, the following commands are available
for handling unit structure maintenance: - Create detail handling units
- Pack: to generate a handling unit for several items
- Unlink: remove a child handling unit from a parent handling unit
- Link: add a child handling unit to a parent handling unit
- Move child handling unit to other parent handling unit. For
this purpose, you first unlink the child handling unit from the parent, as
discussed in Unlink: remove a child handling unit from a parent handling unit. Next, you link the unlinked handling unit to another
parent, as discussed in Link: add a child handling unit to 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.
Close handling unit You can close handling units that are not being processed
in the inbound or the outbound flow. You can close a handling unit if the
handling unit has one of the following statuses: - Inactive
- Open
- In Stock
- Shipped
Delete handling unit You can delete a handling unit if the handling unit has
the following status:
Alternatively, you can use drag-and-drop functionality in the Tree Structure to maintain handling units and handling
unit structures. For further information, see How to operate the Tree Structure. Note that handling unit maintenance is subject to various
conditions. For further information, see Handling unit maintenance conditions. Note If you change or create a handling
unit structure for handling units with a package definition, LN does
not validate the handling unit structure. Consequently, the resulting handling
unit structure may not meet the requirements of the handling unit template of the package definition. To avoid this, you can manually
validate handling units using the Validate Handling Unit option in the Compose Handling Units (whwmd5130m100) session. Handling units with status Partially Frozen or Confirming If the handling unit status is Confirming, these actions are not allowed in the Compose Handling Units (whwmd5130m100) session: If the handling unit status is Partially Frozen or Confirming, these actions are not allowed in the Compose Handling Units (whwmd5130m100) session: | |
