Strange behaviour of packaging material

[Former Member]

Hi Gurus,

I found a strange problem.

The loading group of packaging material in material master is not copied to delivery note item after generating the packaging material.

I don't know what's wrong with it. Please give me some clues.

Thank you,

Gunadi

Hi Gunadi

Check for the following:

Using MM01, create material type=packaging test_pack

[SPRO]

IMG-Logistics Execution-Shipping-Packing-

Define Packaging Material Types

Let's say JPAC. The settings that I chose:

Plant determ. - Plant is entered manually in handling unit

Pack. matl. cat. - Packaging materials

Generate Dlv. Items - blank

Number assignment - Number range interval 'HU_VEKP'

IMG-Logistics Execution-Shipping-Packing-

Define material group for packaging material

Let's say JGRP

IMG-Logistics Execution-Shipping-Packing-

Define allowed packaging materials

JGRP - JPAC

MM02: Check settings for the materials

First, test_pack

Sales:General/Plant -> Matl. Grp. Pack. Matls: JGRP (Note)

Sales:General/Plant -> Packaging Mat. Type: JPAC (Note)

Basic Data 1 -> Material: JMAT

Then, shirt_jai

Sales:General/Plant -> Matl. Grp. Pack. Matls: JGRP

Sales:General/Plant -> Packaging Mat. Type: -

Basic Data 1 -> Material: JMAT

VL01N Outbound Delivery -> Packing

Enter the materials at top and at bottom

(Select shirt_jai and

Edit - Pack)

This is how the basic process of packing works.

The "Packing Process" with an Example

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.

3)In the upper section, enter the "packing material" (PK-100)

4)In the lower section, change the "partial quantity" to 40 of material R-1160.

5)Select both the lines of upper section and lower section and click the green ok. It generates a shipping unit/handling unit number.

6)Now, select both lines of upper & lower section & click the button "per part. qty" (New HU per part qty of material)

Check: click "General Overview" icon to see whether it packed 40 pieces of material in 3 cartons.

B)Packing all 3 cartons in one big carton(PK-095)

1) from above screen, click "pack HUs" (pack shipping unit)

2)enter the packaging material (PK-095) in the upper section and select this line.

3)select 3 lines of PK-100 in lower section since you want to pack them in PK-095.

4)selecting both lines, click "pack" icon.

5)Now all the 3 cartons(PK-100 with 40 pieces each of material) are packed in one big carton (PK-095).

Check: "General overview" icon.

Hello,

Thank you for your reply.

Everything is fine, I can do the packaging, except the loading group in Delivery note is blank which prevents further goods issue.

Hello,

I found the pb.

It is because user use loading group that is not determined for any shipping point.

Thank you Narendran.
