The value in this field is taken from the selected production order.

Effectivity Unit

The effectivity unit of the selected production order.

Quantity

The item quantity for which handling units must be generated.

The unit in which the item quantity is expressed.

Lot

You can manually specify or click Generate Lot to generate a lot code. Specifying lot codes at this stage is optional, you can also specify lot codes when the handling unit is reported complete.

Package Definition

The package definition of the item.

By default, this is the package definition defined in either of these sessions:

  • Item - Warehousing (whwmd4600m000)
  • Items - Sales Business Partner (tdisa0510m000)
  • Sales Contract Line Logistic Data (tdsls3102m000)

You can manually specify a package definition. If this field is left blank, the package definition of the related inbound order line is used.

Handling Unit Template

The handling unit template of the package definition.

Node

The bottom-level node of the handling unit template.

Packaging Item

The packaging item of the item.

Default value

The packaging item of the bottom-level node of the handling unit template.

If manually specified, specify a packaging item that belongs to the package definition. If no package definition is specified, you can specify any packaging item.

Quantity per Packaging Item

By default, the quantity of end items by packaging item defined for the bottom-level node of the handling unit template.

The unit in which the end item quantity by packaging item is expressed.

Handling Unit Mask

The handling unit mask on which the handling unit ID is based. When a handling unit is generated, the handling unit code is generated as specified in the handling unit mask.

According to SSCC Standard

If this check box is selected, the handling unit mask is composed according to the serial-shipping container code (SSCC) standards.

An SSCC consists of 18 digits which are subdivided in the following way:

  • Position 1 : packaging indicator (usually 3)
  • Position 2-8 : company prefix number (according to EAN standards)
  • Position 9-17: serial number (allocated by the company coding the unit)
  • Position 18 : check digit (according to EAN standards)

According to the above mentioned subdivision, you can create a mask for SSCC with the following mask segments:

  • Segment 1: segment type = Alphanumeric and segment length = 1
  • Segment 2: segment type = Alphanumeric and segment length = 7
  • Segment 3: segment type = Sequence and segment length = 9

Segment 4, check digit, with segment type Alphanumeric and segment length 1 is not modeled by the user. LN checks if the mask has 17 positions, and adds the 18th digit when creating a handling unit identification code.

You can create masks in the Masks (tcibd4102m000) session. You can create mask segments in the Mask Segment (tcibd4103s000) session.
