Multicompany handling units

You can use handling units in multicompany warehouse transfers. If you transfer a handling unit by means of a multicompany warehouse transfer and the shipment is confirmed, LN copies the shipment's handling-unit structure to the ship-to company. In addition, LN copies the ship-from company's handling unit numbers to the ship-to company and generates the ship-to company's internal handling unit numbers by means of the ship-to company's Internal Handling Unit Mask.

When the handling unit structure is copied to the ship-to company and:

• A package definition that does not exist in the ship-to company is linked to a handling unit, the handling unit is not copied to the ship-to company.
• A packaging item that does not exist in the ship-to company is linked to the handling unit, the handling unit is copied to the ship-to company without a packaging item.

When the shipment is confirmed, the handling unit's status is In Transit in both logistical companies. When the handling unit is received in the ship-to company, the handling unit's status becomes:

• Shipped in the ship-from company.
• Received in the ship-to company.
