Hi Rajesh

TCode VF04

<b>Packing</b>

Using the packing function, you can enter information on how the products to be supplied should be packed or were packed for a delivery.

For the different packaging materials (boxes, packaging containers or pallets), material master records are created with material type VERP, which contain fields (for example, the allowed packing weight or volume).

Individual items or subsets of an item can be packed into a shipping material with the help of a handling unit, which in turn can be packed into other shipping units in a multi-level procedure. You can control, for each delivery item category, whether the item can be packed at all and whether it must be packed.

To be able to use the packing function, you must set the configurations for the following points:

--> Define number ranges of the handling units

--> Define packing control per item category

Thanks

Hi Rajesh

T.Code for open Billing list: VF04

VL10A is the " Collective processing of Sales Orders" for creation of Outbound Delivery document. It will list all the Sales Orders agaisnt which delivery creation is pending, and has valid line items for delivery.

VL04 on the other hand is a "Delivery Due List" Worklist to seggregate the SalesOrders/Purchase orders, as per selection criteria. From the worklist one can select a Order and process it for Individual Delivery creation. Collective processing cannot be done in VL04.

PACKING IN SD

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.

Then "save" the delivery.

Basic Process of how Packing Works

Let's say you want to pack a material shirt_jai in test_pack.

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.

Hi Rajesh,

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 &#61664; 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 &#61664; PACK &#61664; PACK and the following screen appears.

Open billing list: VFX3

Open delivery list: VL06O

Reward points pls.
