Manually create handling units and handling unit structure for items

To create handling units for a large quantity of items of a particular type at once and set up a handling unit structure for these items, you can use the Pack command and the Create Detail Handling Units command on the appropriate menu of the Compose Handling Units (whwmd5130m100) session. These commands are very useful if, for example, a large quantity of a particular item in your warehouse has no handling units and you want to maintain handling units with a handling unit structure for these items in LN.

Use the Pack command

This procedure consists of the following steps:

  1. From the appropriate menu of the Compose Handling Units (whwmd5130m100) session, select the Pack command.
  2. Select the item and specify the quantity of the item for which you want to create handling units.
  3. Optionally, select a package definition for the item.
  4. Create a handling unit for the selected item.
    • If you selected a package definition, the handling unit and the handling unit structure is generated as specified in the package definition.
    • If you did not select a package definition, a handling unit is created that includes all selected items. For example, if you select 100 items of a particular type, LN generates one handling unit for all of the selected items. For further information, see Pack: to generate a handling unit for several items. To create child handling units for this handling unit, use the Create Detail Handling Units command. For further information, see Create detail handling units.
