Handling units in the re-export process

When a source handling unit is specified in the From Handling Unit field of the Re-export Transfer Lines (whinh1136m000) session, the lots or the serial numbers of the handling unit are copied from the Handling Unit Stock Point Details (whwmd5136m000) session and pasted to the Re-export Transfer Line Details (whinh1137m000) session.

If a handling unit that has child handling unit is specified in the From Handling Unit field, the entire handling unit must be re-exported. It is not allowed to break up the handling unit structure for re-export purposes.

If a bottom-level handling unit is specified in the From Handling Unit field, in the Re-export Transfer Line Details (whinh1137m000) session, you can adjust the quantity and the lot and serial numbers to be re-exported.

When the re-export transfer order is processed, the lot and serial numbers are compared with the lot and serial numbers present in the Handling Unit Stock Point Details (whwmd5136m000) session. If an inconsistency is found, an error message is displayed, and the process is aborted.

If a source handling unit is specified in the From Handling Unit field in the Re-export Transfer Lines (whinh1136m000) session, the quantity of the handling unit may not match the quantity to be re-exported specified in the Quantity in Storage Unit field.

In that case, the quantity to be exported is removed from the handling unit and re-exported as anonymous, that is, non-handling unit quantity if handling units are not mandatory.

If the use of handling units is mandatory, the quantity to be re-exported is removed from the handling unit and a new target handling unit is generated for the quantity to be re-exported.

The use of handling units is mandatory in these cases:

  • If the Inventory check box is selected for the warehouse in the Item Data by Warehouse (whwmd2510m000) session.
  • If the ownership registration of the inventory is by physical item. See Ownership registration setup in Warehousing.
