Link: add a child handling unit to a parent handling unit

• The handling unit and the child handling unit must be located in the same warehouse.
• The child handling unit cannot have a parent. If you want to link a handling unit that has a parent, you must unlink the handling unit from the parent first. For further information, see Unlink: remove a child handling unit from 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.

• The child handling unit and the parent handling unit cannot contain the same item. To add a child handling unit to a parent that contains the same item, you must create detail handling units for the parent. For further information, see Create detail handling units.
• The child handling unit can have child handling units of its own.
• For further information about restrictions to handling unit maintenance, see Handling unit maintenance conditions.
