Packing

[alejandro_bolotnikoff]

Hi, we have some issues with packing process.

1) we need to generate the automatic packing when picking status is complete, could we do that?

2) we need a standard report to know which deliveries have picking status complete but its don't get the packing yet

Thanks

Ale.

Hi Alejandro,

Please check the available user exits in package PACKMODI. Here is a little more details about automatic packing in SAP.

1. Automatic Packing in SAP.

http://help.sap.com/saphelp_46c/helpdata/en/16/4bad4ba63611d2b44e006094b9b9dd/content.htm

SAP HU Customizing for automatic packing in deliveries.

Basically it is necessary  to set a packaging material type and a material group for packing and have it assigned to material of the packing type.

Additional customising setting are needed for the automatic packing during delivery creation:

1. SPRO -> SAP Reference IMG -> Logistic execution -> Shipping -> Deliveries -> Define Item Categories for Deliveries
   Transaction OVLP
   Packing controll for the delivery item category V_TVLP-PCKPF is blank, which means packing is allowed.
2. SPRO -> SAP Reference IMG -> Logistic execution -> Shipping -> Deliveries -> Define delivery Types
   Transaction OVLK
   Automatic packing V_TVLK-AVERP set for the delivery type.
3. SPRO -> SAP Reference IMG -> Logistics - General -> Handling Unit Management ->> Automatic packing -> Maintain Packing Transaction Profile
   Transaction OVHU2
   Packing transaction profile: e.g. 0002 Outbound delivery -> Detail
   Determination procedure for packing instructions (V_CHUPDPARA1-COND_SCHEME): e.g. 000001 pack in shipping set
4. SAP Menu -> Logistics -> Sales and Distribution -> Master Data -> Agreements -> Pack -> Packing Instructions -> POP1 - Create
   Transaction POP1
5. SAP Menu -> Logistics -> Sales and Distribution -> Master Data -> Agreements -> Pack -> Packing Instructions -> Determination Records -> POF1 - Create
   Transaction POF1

2. To view the list of deliveries that are completely picked & yet to be packed, you can use transaction VL06O - Outbound delivery monitor ---> List of deliveries --> select overall WM status C (completed) & Packing status A (yet to be processed). You can also view the delivery status in table VBUK - Sales Document: Header Status and Administrative Data.

Rewards if helpful.

Hi Mohan, thank you very much for your answer.

The VL06O report was very helpful.

For the first question (pack when picking is done), I understand that we have to use a exit in this package? there are not a standard solution for this?

Thanks again!!

Hi Alejandro,

1. Check Routine number 112 for Packing under Define Requirements for Packing in the Delivery.

Menu Path

SPRO-->IMG-->Logistics General-->Handling Unit Management-->Basics-->Delivery-->Define Requirements for packing in the delivery.

In this menu option, you can define your own requirements for packing delivery items. Requirements are represented as form routines which constitute shorter subprograms and check different criteria during packing. A requirement for packing handling units can, for example, stipulate that packing is not possible if a credit block exists.

2. Also, check to see if you can make use of BADI_HU_AUTOPACK , below is the documentation for the same.

Business Add-In for Automatic Packing

Use

Application component: LO-HU

You can use the Business Add-In BADI_HU_AUTOPACK to affect automatic packing using packing instructions.

Standard settings

• The Business Add-In is not active in the standard system.

• The Business Add-In can be used more than once.

Activities

To activate the Business Add-In, you must create an active implementation. To do this, go to Customizing for the component Handling Unit Management and choose System Modifications -> Business Add-Ins in Handling Unit Management.

For more information about this procedure, see the SAP Library under

• Basis Components -> ABAP Workbench -> Changing the SAP Standard -> Business Add-Ins -> Implementing Business Add-Ins.

Note that the Business Add-In can be used multiple times and therefore all active implementations are called and run through.

Further notes

You can find more details in the interface documentation and in the documentation for the individual methods. Documentation for the BAdI interface IF_EX_BADI_HU_AUTOPACK.
