Handling Units: Definition and Management

The document discusses handling units (HUs) in a system. HUs expand on shipping units and can be nested within each other. HUs contain complete material identification, quantity, and object lists for serial numbers. HUs have unique, scannable identification numbers that can be developed according to standards. The system also records a history of each HU to track its path over its lifecycle. Material type VERP contains additional packing fields and the system copies a packaging material's master data when creating an HU, using the gross weight and volume as the tare weight and volume.

In the system, the handling unit [Page 10] (HU) expands on the shipping unit.

Handling units can


be nested, which means that you can create new handling units from several handling units as
often as you like
At the material item level, HUs contain the complete material identification, the quantity, and,
in the case of serial numbers [Page 190], the respective object list
Handling units have unique, scan able identification numbers that can be developed according
to standards such as EAN 128 or SSCC.
The integrated history function also records each business process in the life cycle of each
handling unit, meaning that you can track the handling units path and development at any time.
MASTERDATA

material type VERP


Material type VERP contains additional packing-relevant fields (Sales:
General/Plant Data screen). You can use the field selection to make the
additional fields available for input for all of the material types.
When you create a handling unit (HU), the system automatically copies the
packaging materials master data and uses the gross weight and volume as the
packaging materials tare weight and tare volume
(The tare weight and tare volume refer to the gross weight and gross volume of
the packaging material. In the case of a container, the tare weight is the weight
of the unloaded container (the total weight less the weight of the goods and
packaging materials that are packed in the container).
