When i do PGI the packing material stock is not reduce. if the packing material is not present it also not giving any error.When I checking the Handling Unit " status " tab it is showing the field " HU storage location " is showing "Handling unit without inventory management".

That field is non editable . But i also want the inventory of the packing material .

Dear Abhijit

For Packing materials, you need to ensure certain criterias.

Please check the following:-

1) Go to *VHAR,* you create the packing material type say carton

2) In IMG -- Logistics-Execution --> Shipping --> Packing --> Define Material Group for Packaging Material. Here create a group, say PACK

3) Choose the next- Define Allowed Packaging Materials. Here for Material Group PACK, assign carton (as stated in point 1)

4) Now create packing material in material master with type VERP and also Item Category Group VERP.

5) In Sales: General/Plant tab, you need to maintain the following

a) for Matl Grp Pack.Matls as PACK

b) Packaging mat. type as Carton

c) Allowed Pkg weight

Save the master. Now while creating delivery, after selecting Goto -- Pack, ensure that you block both the "Pack material" and "Material to be Packed". Once you do this, click on "Pack" which is above Material to be packed (left top). Once clicked the pack button, system will show a message material packed. Now select "Back" button so that you will come to the main screen of delivery.

Now do pgi and check the stock of packing material. The stock will get reduced to the extent of you posted goods issue.

thanks

Hi Lakshmipathi,

Thanks for giving details of packing . I have already tried that but it only reduces the material which is in line item in the delivery document . It is not reduce the quantity of packing material quantity . I have also checked OMS2 and there VERP material type is subject to Quantity and value updating . Am i missing somthing . Please suggest .

Thanks for giving your time .
