Handling unit mangement without Warehouse management

[Former Member]

Hello,

We are working on a scenario,wherein we are planning to use handling unit management without warehouse management.Does HU management and WM go hand in hand?

Do you foresee any inconsistencies if HU management is implemented without WM?

What does SAP recommend?

Thanks,

Hi Pankaj,

I don't know about your Storage location design. If the Storage location is HU Managed, then you have to use HU within the Storage location. If the Storage location is Non-HU Managed, then you can work without using HU.

Inside the WM, SU Management is used. Storage Unit is equal to Handling Unit. Please read the documentation on SU Management.

If you're Storage location is non-HU Managed, then you can avoid using SU within WM.

Please let me know if you have question.

Thank you.

Hello,

WM and HU functionality are independent solutions. WM and HU could be implemented based on your business scenarios. It is pretty common to have WM and HU solutions for the business.

It will be sort of difficult to answer about inconsistency in HU solution without WM. Based on what process you define and what are the intricacies involved you may or may not have true inconsistencies.

You could refer to the SAP best practices help library and see if for your business scenario SAP has a solution and that way you could best define an integrated solution.

Hope this helps.
