Hi,

can you tell me what are positive/negative effect of assigning a no-WM partner storage location to a WM managed warehouse?

If I decrease the quantity of an HU which is in the WM storage location using HU02 and then decide to re-pack the stock that is in the partner storage location... how can I do?

Bye

Hi,

Handling unit managed storage location:

- only packed material can be stored there; all stock must be packed

- u2018HU requirementu2019 indicator has to be set for the storage location in customizing

- a (non handling unit managed) partner storage location has to be assigned from the same plant.

When Hus are unpacked, not-packed stocks are posted to the partner storage location.

Handling Unit Management enables to control inventory management using packed stocks at storage location level.

The guarantee that the total of all HU stocks is the same as the stock in the storage location, is only valid for handling unit managed storage locations.

If you have HUs on storage locations that are not HU managed, you never know if the stock in the HU physically exists and if the stock information is still valid. There is no guarantee that the data is correct.

You can easy test this: just go to transaction hu02 -> create an HU at a not handling unit managed storage location whit a quantity that is more than the stock of that storage location... the system will let you save this... you will only get problems afterwards when you want to use this HU

Then test the same with a handling unit managed storage location...
