Packing handling units to outbound delivery with batch management

[Former Member]

Hello all,

I am packing an outbound delivery with a material that has batch management active. The packing is from a storage location that manages handling units (HU-managed sloc).

My problem is u2013 before entering the HUs to the delivery u2013 the system asks me to enter the batches (in the batch split function). Only then I am allowed to enter the HUs in the packing function.

What could be the reason for this preliminary batch entries ?

How can I set the system not to do that, i.e., I would like to be able to enter the HUs directly without entering the batchs separately.

Thanks,

Isaac

Dear Isaac,

this system behaviour can not be changed in standard and is also not recommended to change it via a modification. The reason for this system behaviour is to avoid inconsistencies in the system. The HU that you assign to the delivery, should exactly fit to the delivery. In case if the material is batch managed, you should specify the batch first, and then add the fitting HU with exactly that batch.

I suppose you checked the longtext for HUDIALOG102, that you get in the described case, but I copy it for you, in case if you did not read it:

"Diagnosis

There are items to be handled in batches which have not yet been

assigned to a batch.

Batches must be recognized for items with HU-managed storage location

For items at a storage location that is not HU-managed, the item type

determines if packing will take place at cumulated item quantity level

(meaning that the batch is not recognized at any point in the handling

unit) or if packing must take place at batch level.

System Response

If an item requires batch identification, that item will not be

suggested for packing as long as the batch is not recognized.

Procedure

Go to the maintenance of the delivery item and assign at least one batch

to the item."
