hi,

Example:

You created a order for a material(R-1160 - hard disks) for a qty - 120 pieces.

You need to create a delivery and

A)pack 40 pieces each of the material are grouped together into larger cardboard boxes (PK-100 - shipping/packing material) and

B)these 3 cardboard boxes are put into pallet (PK-095).

Solution:

A)Packing 40 pieces each of material (40 x 3 = 120 pieces)

1)Goto [VL02N] to change the delivery, you already created.

Or you can do the following steps while you are creating a delivery also.

2)Go to "pack" icon.

Packing

In business all the materials are accompanied with packing. Materials are determined with packing materials in SAP.

Packing materials maintained in the business as normal inventory.

Packing can be carried out during sales order processing or delivery document processing usually at delivery document item level DLN.

Configuration settings

Handling Units: It is a packing material that is used to pack a finished product.

Define number ranges for handling units:

Menu Path: IMG / Logistics Execution / Shipping / Packing / Define number ranges for handling units.

Packing Control by Item Category:

Menu Path: IMG / Logistics Execution / Shipping / Packing / Packing Control by Item Category

Here delivery document line item is going to be controlled for packing item

Following are the options that can be assigned to each line item category:

Define Packaging Material Types:

Menu Path: IMG / Logistics Execution / Shipping / Packing / Define Packaging Material Types

The packaging material type combines packaging materials into groups and contains essential control features which apply to the corresponding shipping materials.

When you specify a shipping material type in the material master record, each shipping material is assigned to a shipping material type.

This packaging material is going to be assigned in the material master.

We are going to create our own packing material type: V075 – Skeleton Box by going to “new entries”

Define Material Group for Packaging Materials:

Menu Path: IMG / Logistics Execution / Shipping / Packing / Define Material Group for Packaging Materials

In this menu option, you define material groupings packaging materials, with which materials that are to be packed into similar packaging materials are grouped together.

The material grouping for packaging materials is entered in the material master record of the shipping material.

Here packing materials are grouped that can be used to pack similar materials.

Here we are going to create our own material group for packaging material.

Define Allowed Packaging Materials:

Menu Path: IMG / Logistics Execution / Shipping / Packing / Define Allowed Packaging Materials

When packing materials or handling units, the system checks whether the packaging materials for the handling unit, to which the items are to be packed, is allowed for packing.

*

By assigning packaging material types to the material groups for packaging materials, you define which packaging materials are allowed for packing.

*

By assigning shipping material types to material groups for shipping materials, you define which shipping materials are allowed for packing.

To activate packing for a existing material:

Go to the material in MM02 which we want to pack and go to Basic data 1 and enter the material group of packaging materials as G010.

This entry enables the system to pack this material in the packing.

Create a Packaging Material:

T.Code: MM01

Add stock of the Packaging Material:

First we need to go to T.Code: OMS2 and choose material type VERP and check quantity updating for our plant (valuation area).

Then we go T.Code: MB1C and add the stock.

Create a Sales Order:

We raise a sales order for the material that is needed to be packed.

Create Delivery:

Packing is carried out during delivery process. This is done after picking is done.

Once we get into the delivery document, we enter the pick quantity under picking tab.

Next go to the top menu and EDIT  PACK, enter the packaging material number as shown in the screen shot.

Then select the line items as shown in the next slide.

Then again go to top menu, click on EDIT  PACK  PACK and the following screen appears.

We go back and do the PGI and save the document. And continue with the billing document.
