Handling Unit Number range per delivery.

[Former Member]

Dear All,

Please guide me how we can configure Handling Unit number ranges so that for each delivery document, Handling numbers should be started from 01.

Thanx in advance.

each delivery document, Handling numbers should be started from 01.

Can you explain more about that statement.

Did you tried with std Handling Number range maintanance? That will not suffice your requirement?

HU_VEKP Number Range for External Handling Unit Identification

HUINV Number Range Object for Physical Inventory Documents

Dear Reazuddin,

Thanks for your early response.

As per standard SAP functionality, we assign a number range to handling units and system automatically assigns serial numbers to each handling unit.

But My requirement is suppose I am packing materials in a delivery document, then the handling numbers of these packs should start from 1,2,3 so on. And for next delivery also system should give me (or allow to enter) once again starting from 1 and not 04.

I hope my requirement is clear.

Please advise any solution on this.

Any further updates please.....?

Thanx,

Anup

Hi,

I suggest not to mess up with handling unit numbers. By definition HU is specific to certain packaging material item and allows to track it through the whole supply chain.

In case you need to restart numbering for each delivery, then I suggest not to use handling unit numbers for this purpose, but find another field for example VEKP-EXIDV2 which is handling unit external identification. You would need to populate it via your own ABAP.

Hi Folks,

I need a small clarification like where we assign this handling unit number ranges. Is it packing material type only?

if yes, my number ranges are stating that internal assignment process where as in packing material type configuraion is statign that "An external number can be entered (No HU functionality).

My question is how come it is possible that pack material type configuration is "An external number can be entered (No HU functionality) and handling unit number ranges showing as "Internal assignment"

plz make me understand.

Thanks in advance.
