| | Handling Units (whwmd5630m000)Use this session to view or maintain handling units. Note that enhanced handling unit maintenance and handling unit
structure manipulation functionality is available on the Compose Handling Units (whwmd5130m100) session. Note Enhanced handling unit maintenance and handling unit
structure manipulation functionality is available on the Compose Handling Units (whwmd5130m100) session. Handling Unit The handling unit code that is used to uniquely identify the handling unit in LN. You can either
manually define handling units in this session or in the Compose Handling Units (whwmd5130m100) session, or generate handling units in various
stages of the inbound and outbound flows. If you manually define a handling
unit in this session, to define the handling unit code you can enter an
alphanumeric code in this field. When generating handling units, LN uses handling unit masks to generate the handling unit IDs. You can define
various handling unit masks to accomplish specific handling unit ID features
such as supplier numbers. During the inbound or outbound flow, LN selects the appropriate
handling unit mask to generate the handling unit IDs. Note - The empty handling units can:
- Be shipped and are not removed automatically from the
handling unit structure.
- Contain auxiliary packaging.
- The empty handling units cannot:
- Contain stock point details.
Parent Handling Unit The parent of the current handling unit. Version The version number of the handling unit. The initial version
number of version-controlled handling units is 1. After a version-controlled
handling unit is split, it obtains a new version number. Handling units that
are not version-controlled always have version number 0. Handling units for which splitting is
enabled can be defined as version controlled in the Handling Unit Version Controlled field of the Item - Warehousing (whwmd4600m000) session. Confirmed for Shipping If this check box is selected, the handling unit is
confirmed for shipping. If the Handling Unit Based Confirmation check box is selected
in the Warehousing Order Types (whinh0110m000) session, and all of the handling units of
the shipment line are confirmed for shipping, the shipment line can be
confirmed. If the Confirm Shipment Lines when confirming Handling Units check box is selected in the Warehousing Order Types (whinh0110m000) session, the shipment line that contains the
handling unit is automatically confirmed. If cleared, the linked shipment line
must be manually confirmed. Handling units are confirmed after a successful scan if
the scan-to-verify process is activated or after using the Confirm option on the Execute Outbound submenu of the Handling Units (whwmd5130m000) session. Complete If this check box is selected, the structure of the
handling unit has not changed since the handling unit was received in the
warehouse. If the structure of the handling unit is changed after receipt, this
check box is automatically cleared. Splittable If this check box is selected, the handling unit can be
split up into two or more handling units, for example, as a result of inbound
advice to different locations. Item The item that is packed by means of the handling unit. Quantity The quantity of items expressed in the storage unit. If the handling unit is a parent and one or more child handling
units of the parent are destroyed after inspection, the destroyed quantity is
subtracted from the parent's quantity displayed in this field. Note that if you manually create a handling
unit, you cannot specify the number of items to be packed by means of the
handling units. To pack items by means of a handling unit, you can use the Pack command on the appropriate menu of the Compose Handling Units (whwmd5130m100) session. For further information, see Pack: to generate a handling unit for multiple items. In addition, if handling units are
generated for receipts, shipments, advice, inspections, and order lines, the
handling units contain the number of items specified on the shipment, receipt,
and so on. Quantity The storage unit in which the quantity is expressed. Lot The lot to
which the items in the handling unit belongs. Note If you scan a handling unit's label on receipt and the handling unit is specified for the ASN or ASN line in the Shipment Notices (whinh3100m000) session, LN retrieves the lot from the ASN or ASN line. If no lot is
specified on the ASN or no ASN is available for the receipt, LN retrieves the lot
from the Receipt Lines (whinh3112s000) session, if specified. Inventory Date The inventory date of the handling unit. Note If you scan a handling unit's label on receipt, LN retrieves the inventory date from the Receipt Lines (whinh3112s000) session when the receipt is confirmed. Children Present If this check box is selected, the handling unit has
child handling units. Dimensions Fixed If this check box is selected, the dimensions of the
handling unit are fixed. This means, that the dimensions of the handling unit
will not change if items are added to the handling unit. Gross Weight The gross weight of the handling unit. The gross weight is the
weight of all items and their packages in the handling unit. As a result, the
weights of all children and packaging items are included in the handling unit's
gross weight. Gross Weight The unit in which gross weight of the handling unit is expressed. Net Weight The net weight of the handling unit. The net weight is solely
the weight of the items in the handling unit. As a result, the net weights of
all children are included in the net weight of the handling unit, while the
weights of all packaging items in the handling unit are excluded. Asset Tag The asset tag of the handling unit. An asset tag is a serial number that identifies a handling
unit. Label printing is available for asset tags. Note Asset tags are not related to the serial numbers of
serialized items. Quantity The quantity of the packaging item that is used for the
handling unit. For example, the handling unit has 100 packaging items of type
Box. Labeled If this check box is selected,, for each packing item
defined for the handling unit, a label record is created. These labels can be
printed. In this way, each existing packing item is uniquely identified. For
example, if the boxes on a pallet are labeled, each box obtains a label when
handling units are generated for an order for milk cartons. Warehouse The handling unit's status determines which warehouse is
displayed in this field: Received The warehouse in which the item must be put
away. Receipt Open The warehouse in which the item must be put
away. Open The warehouse from which the item must be picked. Frozen The warehouse from which the item must be
picked. In Transit The warehouse is retrieved from the inbound-order
line. Shipped No warehouse is specified. Inactive If the handling unit will be used to receive items, the
warehouse in which the item must be put away. If the handling unit will be used
to issue items, the warehouse from which the item must be picked.
Location The handling unit's status determines which location is
displayed in this field: Received The location in which the item must be put away. Receipt Open The location in which the item must be put away. Open The location from which the item must be picked. Frozen The location from which the item must be picked. In Transit The location is retrieved from the inbound-order
line. Shipped No location is specified. Inactive If the handling unit will be used to receive items, the
location in which the item must be put away. If the handling unit will be used
to issue items, the location from which the item must be picked.
Part Change Tag 1 A notification to the customer of a part change. Reason The reason why a part change is required. Part Change Tag 2 A notification to the customer of a part change. Virtual If this check box is selected, the handling unit is a
dummy handling unit created by a warehousing process to support the consistency
of the handling unit structure for the warehousing process. For example, two boxes, handling unit A
and handling unit B are picked from the stock for the same order line. In the
shipment created for the order, one shipment line is created for the contents
of the two boxes. To provide a link between the two handling units and the
shipment line, a new dummy handling unit is created, which serves as a parent
for these two boxes. This dummy handling unit is marked Virtual and this handling unit appears on the
shipment line. This check box is also selected for bottom-level handling
units generated from a handling unit template whose bottom-level node is set to Virtual Node. | |
