Cartonization planning with 2 level packaging specification

[Former Member]

Dear Gurus,

We have packaging specification maintained for a product with 2 level.

Level 1 pallet. Maximum weight and maximum volume of the pallet maintained.

Level 2 case.  Maximum weight and maximum volume of the case maintained.

The pack spec is determined for the cartonization planning.

Standard Algorithim profile used: SAP1

Requirement: No of pallets to be proposed should consider the maximum volume or maximum weight of case.

Issue:

When we run the cartonization planning at delivery level.

While proposing the PSHUs, system is only comparing the maximum volume or maximum weight of pallet with that of outbound delivery weight or volume which is basically the product weight and volume.

System is not all considering any information from the level 2

Can anybody please give any pointers how to achieve the requirement.

Regards,

Malay

Hi,

on the level, where you have the HU creation checkbox ticked, that drives the resulting HU header. So the packaging material master data are copied into the HU header, that becomes your HU, with all those capacities.

Other packspec levels are for processes/steps in VAS, Kitting etc...

Thanks for your reply Peter.

We have HU creation indicator ticked for both the levels (pallet and case) in the packaging specification.

Which level should system consider for HU creation.

However, could you give any pointer how our requirement can be achieved.

We want system to propose pallet maximum volume to consider only case actual volume only. Not the product actual volume.
