Hi,
HU is basically a material(s) which can be packed using packing material(s).
SU is defined for the purpose of handling and storing the material in Warehouse. you can have full pallet, half pallet or pallets of different sizes and capacities.
Following are the differences i can think of.
- HU is at IM level and Pallet is used for SUs at WM level.
- HU mgmt is activated at Storage location level while SU mgmt activated at Storage type level.
- HUs exists outside your organization (unique SSCC nos) while SUs are within the org, specifically at WM level.
- You can have HU mgmt without SU mgmt or vice-versa.
- when a HU is putaway in warehosue, it is putaway as SU. System automatically assigns the SU number same as HU. You can also work with SUs alone without HU mgmt, in which case, you have to be very careful while defining the number ranges for these two. I suggest you search forum for further details.
