Hello Nitin,

I am explaining all details about packing. Follow it step by step. I have done it the same way and it has worked very well. This is basically for single level packaging . Please let me know whether you have single level or multi level packaging in your company. If multilevel packaging then there is some more procedure which i will let you know. If you don't understand anything then give me a call i will explain it to you.

before creating the packaging material you have to go to:

IMG-Logistics Execution-Shipping -Packing.

1. Define packaging material types- it can be anything like boxes crates, etc. in this you have to maintain the output determination procedure, output type, plant determination, packaging material category, generate delivery items, number assignment. you can copy from standard also.

2. Then go to define material group for packaging materials - here you maintain the four digit code and the description. Actually, this group is nothing but similar products which require similar packing products. For Ex. Nokia Phones all types they are basically packed first into a polythene bag. So here nokia phones can become a material group for packaging materials and polythene bag can become the packaging material type which can include different sizes and types of polythene bags.

3. Define Allowed Packaging Materials - Here you assign the shipping group for packaging materials to the packaging material type. This is related to your mterial master data of the packaging material which you create.

4. Now go to MM01 to create a packaging material. use material type as Packaging material then inside the system will take the item category group as VERP. Then in the Basic Data1 screen you have the material group for packaging material (MGPM). Slect the proper one. Now in the Sales:General/ Plant screen you have to maintain data regarding the packaging. you select the MGPM same as the basic data 1 screen, then select the packaging material type, the allowed pkh weight, allowed pkg volume. This is important because if the weight of your finished item is 2 KG and in the allowed pkg weight you enter only 1.5 KG, then while you carry out the packing process in delivery, the system will give you error," packaging weight exceeded." The assignment in the IMG creen for Define allowed packaging materials should be same as u mention in the material master. Then save your material master for packaging material.

5. VA01 create the order, save it.

6. VL01N enter shipping point, go to edit - pack- you will face a screen with 2 parts. In the top part you select your packaging material in which you want to pack your finished item, enter the system will assign a number to that material. Now select the Material in the top part and the finished one in the lower part and click on the Icon Pack. Here one thing has to be taken care of. Suppose if you want to pack only one finished item in one packaging material, then in the lower part of the screen you have a field for partial quantity here you chnge it to 1. system will prompt quantity changed. now you select the material in the top part and the one in the lower part and click on the PER PART. QTY ICON. In this way the system will pack only one finished item in a single packaging material. Packing is done go back, select the picking and do the PGI. save the delivery and create the invoice.

I have explained packing from VL01N. Means first you create the sales order, save it, then create the delivery from VL01N, enter the shipping point, press enter, you will face the delivery overview screen, go to EDIT in the menu, select PACK and then follow the procedure mentioned above.

Please reward valuable points if solution found useful.

On the Create Delivery: Overview screen, choose Edit ® Pack.

The Pack Items screen appears. This screen is subdivided into two areas: In the upper section, you enter the shipping units in which you want to pack the delivery items. In the lower screen area, you select the items that you want to pack.

Select item 10 (in the Items to be packed screen area), then choose Edit ® Allowed shipping matl.

In the dialog box, you can select the shipping material in which you can pack the selected item. In this case, the monitor can be packed only in a carton with cushioning material (special carton hi-tech.

Position your cursor on shipping material PK-100, then choose Choose.

The system automatically generates a shipping unit in the upper section of the screen (internal number assignment).

Before you pack the items (monitors), check that the items to be packed and the shipping material in which the items are to be packed have been selected.

Because the total weight of the items (30 kg) would exceed the permissible weight of the carton (20 kg), choose Edit ® New ShUn per PartQty.

The R/3 System generates a second shipping unit. Both monitors have now been packed.

If you had chosen Pack item, only one monitor would have been packed. The system would then have issued a message that only a partial quantity was packed because the weight limit had been exceeded.

To display all of the items packed to date, choose Total.

To display the contents of the two cartons, expand the hierarchy nodes.

Choose .

To create the second level in the packing hierarchy (pallet), choose Overview ® Pack shipping unit.

The Pack Shipping Units screen appears.

In the All Shipping units that can be packed screen area, select both cartons, then choose Edit ® Allowed shipping matl.

In the dialog box, you can select the shipping material on which you can pack or stack the two cartons.

Position your cursor on pallet (110 X 110 X 12.5), then choose Choose.

Select both cartons in the All Shipping units that can be packed screen area. Select also the pallet on which these cartons are to be stacked in the Higher-level shipping units screen area.

Choose Overview ® Pack items.

The system confirms that the selected shipping units (cartons) have been packed.

To display all of the items that have been packed, choose Total.

To display the cartons and the delivery items that have been packed on the pallets, expand the two packing hierarchy levels.

Choose until the Delivery Create: Overview screen appears.

Since the shipping units you selected are liable for costs, the R/3 System has generated two additional items independent of the order: one item for the shipping unit carton (2 pieces) and one for the pallet (1 piece). These items are transferred to the billing document.

On the Create Delivery: Overview screen, choose Subsequent functions ® Create transfer order.

The End document processing dialog box appears.
