How to operate the Tree Structure

To maintain handling units and handling unit structures, you can use the commands available on the appropriate menu and the toolbar. For further information on these commands, see To maintain handling units.

In addition to the toolbar and appropriate menu commands, drag-and-drop functionality is available to move child handling units to different parents.

To use a command to maintain a handling unit or handling unit structure, select the handling unit and click the relevant command on the toolbar or the appropriate menu. Alternatively, you can right-click the handling unit and select the relevant option from the context menu that appears.

To expand or collapse the structure of a node, double-click the node. If you double-click a node without an underlying structure of child handling units, the Handling Units (whwmd5130m000) session appears showing the details of the handling unit that the node represents.

View menu

On the View menu, the following options are available:

  • Show handling unit info

    This is the default option. If this option is selected, for each handling unit a few handling unit details are displayed, such as the status, the packing material, the item content, and so on.

  • Show order info

    If this option is selected, for each handling unit a few details of the order related to the handling unit are displayed, such as the order origin, the order/order line number, the order line status, and so on.

  • Show shipment/receipt info

    If this option is selected, for each receipt or shipment that is linked to the handling unit a few details are displayed, such as the shipment/receipt line status, ID number/line number, and so on.

The appropriate menu

In addition to the commands described in To maintain handling units and Compose Handling Units (whwmd5130m100), the following commands are available:
