| | Compose Handling Units (whwmd5130m100) 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.
Warehouse A place for storing goods. For each warehouse, you can enter
address data and data relating to its type. Location A distinct place in a warehouse where goods are stored. A warehouse can be divided into locations to manage the
available space, and to locate the stored goods. Storage conditions and blocks
can be applied to individual locations. Item The item for which the handling unit is used as packing
material. Package Definition A particular configuration of items and their packaging. A
package definition for an item can, for example, be the following: a pallet
contains 12 boxes and each box contains 4 pieces. Packaging Item The containers or supports that are used to hold and move goods
within manufacturing, distribution processes, and, specifically, within the
warehouse. For example: boxes, pallets. Ship-from Code A code used, together with the ship-from type, to identify the
exact source of a warehousing order. Ship-to Code A code used, together with the ship-to type, to identify where
goods are shipped to. Text If this check box is selected, some text about the
handling unit is available in the Text field of the Handling Units (whwmd5130m000) session. Ship-from Code The ship-from type is used, together with the ship-from code,
to identify the exact source of a warehousing order. The ship-from type can have the following values: - Business Partner
- Warehouse
- Work Center
- Project

Apply A code used, together with the ship-to type, to identify where
goods are shipped to. Warehouse A place for storing goods. For each warehouse, you can enter
address data and data relating to its type. Location A distinct place in a warehouse where goods are stored. A warehouse can be divided into locations to manage the
available space, and to locate the stored goods. Storage conditions and blocks
can be applied to individual locations. Parent Handling Unit The parent of the handling unit that you want to select for
maintenance in this session. Item The item for which the handling unit is used as packing
material. Latest Version of Label Printed The latest version of the handling unit for which a label was
printed. If the handling unit is not version-controlled, the value in this
field is 0. 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. 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. Length The length of the handling unit. Dimension Unit The unit in which the dimensions of the handling unit are expressed. Width The width of the handling unit. Height The height of the handling unit. 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. | |
