The Generate Handling Unit for Shipment Header during Picking and Consolidate Handling Units in one Shipment Line during Picking check boxes in the Warehouses (whwmd2500m000) session serve to generate a
handling unit structure for shipments or shipment lines. The following examples
show how to set these check boxes to generate the preferred handling unit
structure.

handling units from the outbound advice have become child handling units of
HU0. They are not merged. Instead, because the Consolidate Handling Units in one Shipment Line during Picking check box is cleared, for each handling unit a separate shipment line is
generated.
