Hi,

This depends on how you pack your delivery items. This field will be updated only when packing functionality is enabled and the items are packed.

During packing, you can decide whether all your items can be packed under one pack or how many of your items should be packed in each pack. Based on how you do the packing in the delivery, that many equivalent packages will be created. These packages are also called as Handling Units.

For example, lets say you have 20 delivery items and you do the packing in such a way that 4 items should get into one pack. This will result in 5 packs. This value will be updated in the field you mentioned.

Also there are complications to this for multilevel packing. For ex as in previous case, you will have 5packs. But if you again mention that 5such packs should be packed in a bigger carton once again, the values will be updated accordingly.

Hope this helps you to understand the functionality

Hello!

even if the post is dated, I would like to ask you:

On the contrary, is it possible that a single article is placed in several packages, because it is very large? (for example a sofa that is packed in two or more packages).

Hi,

If you use use the packing in SAP the this number represents the number of handling units. If you do not use packing the value is normally not published but you can manually update the field if needed.

Hope this will resolve ur issue .
