References based Handling Unit Building at Shipments
If this check box is selected, the shipment lines with the specified reference distribution can be confirmed when the handling units are not packed based on the specified references. The shipment lines can be built based on the handling unit template and the references linked to the shipment line.
Note

By default, this check box is cleared.

If this check box is cleared, the CINDI concept cannot be applied when confirming the shipments.

Auto Complete Handling Unit Structure during Picking
If this check box is selected, the handling unit structure of a picked handling unit is completed in accordance with the handling unit template of the shipment line to which the handling unit is to be added.

For example, handling unit A is of type Box and contains 10 items.

Shipment line B has handling unit template C. For handling unit template C, this structure is specified:

Node levelTypePackaging item quantityItem quantity
1Pallet1
2Crate2
3Box440

 

When handling unit A is picked for shipment line B, the application creates handling unit C of type Crate and handling unit D of type Pallet to complete the handling unit structure.

If this check box is cleared, only handling unit A is put on shipment line B.

If the packaging item or the item quantity of handling unit A does not match the bottom node of handling unit template C, handling unit A is not used and new handling units are generated according to the template.

The setting of this check box is defaulted to the Auto Complete Handling Unit Structure during Picking check box in the Item - Package Definitions (whwmd4130m000) session.
