Overview of Handling Unit management (HUM)

The term HU (Handling Unit) is the goods packing information used in the ERP Logistics
area being available for setting under Logistics General in SAP ERP implementation
guide. Although it was firstly developed to simple packing in the delivery area it has
developed and then other functionalities have been made available like the inventory
goods for packed stored material which is called HU managed storage location. The
handling units functionalities are found in the own HU transactions, delivery transactions,
WM (Warehouse Management) and EWM (Extended Warehouse Management)
transactions (there is also the packing proposal in the Sales Order).
HU Overview
The SAP ERP system sees a handling unit as a physical unit that consists of the
packaging materials (load carrier / packaging material) and its goods. A handling unit is a
combination of materials and packaging materials. All the information contained in the
Page 3

material items, such as batches and serial numbers, is available by way of the handling
units.
The handling unit in a non HU Storage Location differently from handling unit in HU
Storage Location means that there is no control over the packed units, in other words the
system does not control the inventory. It is mostly used there no need to keep packed
quantity in-house but only the need for shipping the goods wrapped in packages, the
handling units are then packed at the delivery area (it can have packing under other
packing which is called nested handling unit).
The handling unit in a HU Storage location means that there is control over the packed
units, in other words the system controls the inventory. It is mostly used when goods are
stored in a packed material like cartons, pallets, etc. The handling units can be nested
and the HU transactions allow the unpacking and packing activities as well as moving the
HU from one area to another.
The handling units can be proposed in a sales order and determined on the delivery
creation. The handling units can be also staged using Warehouse Management in process
manufacturing.
Handling Units in Production Orders Purpose

In the area of production orders you can use handling units (HUs) in the following cases:
Goods issues for the withdrawal of components. For production orders with many
components you can make the logistical processes considerably simpler. You can
withdraw components that are already being managed in HUs or first create the HU
when the components are picked.
Goods receipts for materials produced. If you use make-to-stock production you can
handle partial quantities of stock individually with differently packaged handling units
(for example: packaging variations for different customer groups). Using handling units
Page 4

serves to optimize logistical processes and does not influence the flow of capital in an
organization. This means that all goods movements continue to be posted to the
relevant production orders. If you use handling units, they offer you the following
advantages: Carrying out goods movements is made simpler. Material flows become
clearer and can be monitored or traced more easily. Products can be individually
packaged, even in make-to-stock production.
Handling Units in Inventory Management Use
If
you use the Inventory Management (MM-IM) component, you can use Inventory
Management functions for goods movements involving handling units. The following
goods movements are supported:
Goods receipts
Goods issues
Transfer postings
Stock transfers
When you post a goods movement in a storage location that is subject to handling unit
management, the system creates a delivery. It does not create a material document. The
goods issue is not valuated until the delivery is posted in Shipping (also refer to Goods
Issue). Prerequisites:-Setting Up and Cancelling the HU Requirement in a Storage
Location. To set up or cancel the handling unit requirement in a storage location, all the
stocks in the storage location have to be posted out, so that the stock balances are zero
for all materials. This also applies to special stocks that are managed at storage location
level. After the handling unit requirement is changed, you can re-post the stocks to the
storage location. You can define the handling unit requirement in Customizing for
Handling Unit Management, in the step HU Requirement for Storage Locations and
Default Values for Deliveries.
Creating a Delivery :-To create a delivery in the Shipping (LE-SHP) application
component, the following data must be maintained in the R/3 System (also refer to
Creating Outbound Deliveries):
Plant data (sales organization, distribution channel, shipping point, and division)
Page 5

The sales and distribution data in the material master record
The Customer field in the central vendor master record, as the vendor for shipping is
also the customer
You can define the required plant data in Customizing for Handling Unit Management, in
the step HU Requirement for Storage Locations and Default Values for Deliveries.
Features
You can use all the functions of Inventory Management, with the exception of the
following:
Physical inventory in Inventory Management does not support Handling Unit
Management.
When goods are received for a purchase order, you cannot subsequently enter a freight
vendor that is different from the vendor. You can only enter a different freight vendor by
changing the relevant purchase order.
When goods are received for a purchase order, you cannot create a purchase order
automatically, as goods movements in a storage location with handling unit requirement
are carried out using deliveries.
You cannot post a goods receipt with reference to an inbound delivery.
The EAN128 functionality is not supported.
Handling Unit Management is only supported for special stocks if the special stocks are
managed at storage location level.
Partner Storage Location for Stock Transfers
If, in a storage location that is subject to handling unit management, you want to
increase or decrease the stock of a handling unit by transferring stock, you can define
another storage location as a partner storage location. The system then suggests this
Page 6

partner storage location any time you do not enter any other storage location. You
configure this in Customizing for Handling Unit Management, in the step HU Requirement
for Storage Locations and Default Values for Deliveries.
Object Reference for Handling Units:- it is useful for warehouse person to Identify where
the HU is used currently and to avoid the process errors. We can see the Object
reference in HU Monitor.

Many people asked what is HUM & SUM and

where it is used..
The basic difference b/n HUM and SUM is that, HUM is a combination of Goods and Packing
Material and it is mainly used for tracking purpose. Whereas when it comes to SUM, its nothing
but palletisation of the materials. The primary function of SUM is to effective use warehouse
complex and gives greater flexibility in terms of handling goods movement and storing goods
inside the warehouse.
For your clear understanding SUM is a subdivision of storage Bin where stocks are stored with SU
number rather in quant number. The another advantage of SUM is, we can maintain two or more
different quants inside a SU.
Both SUM and HUM shares same identification number, whereas SUM features limited within the
warehouse, and HUM has its role outside the WMS.
HU is basically a material(s) which can be packed using packing material(s).
SU is defined for the purpose of handling and storing the material in Warehouse. you can have
full pallet, half pallet or pallets of different sizes and capacities.
Following are the differences i can think of.
- HU is at IM level and Pallet is used for SUs at WM level.
- HU mgmt is activated at Storage location level while SU mgmt activated at Storage type level.
- HUs exists outside your organization (unique SSCC nos) while SUs are within the org,
specifically at WM level.
Page 10

- You can have HU mgmt without SU mgmt or vice-versa.
- When a HU is put away in warehouse, it is put away as SU. System automatically assigns the SU
number same as HU. You can also work with SUs alone without HU mgmt, in which case, you
have to be very careful while defining the number ranges for these two. I suggest you search
forum for further details.
Handling unit management can be used with or without WMS. But when you have WMS in place
you need SUM to process handling units.
SUM:
1. SUM can be controlled for each storage type and allows you through the use
of Sus to manage material quantities for each container or pallet as a self
contained unit within a storage type.
2. Certain storage functions such as mixed storage control, removal from
storage functions in bulk storage ,or capacity checks requires use of SUM in
the warehouse as prerequisite. SUM activated for following reasons
1. Movement of mixed pallets as a single unit within the warehouse.
2. Identification & management of materials using storage unit numbers
assigned internally or externally.
3. WM can communicate with fork lift control systems via interface without
having to maintain material data in the external system.
HUM:
1. HUM represents a packaging controlled logistics system in which all
movements are mapped through HUs.
2. If we use HUM then you must use the GR process with inbound deliveries.
3. If we use HUM in connection with WM then we must activate storage unit
management for all storage types in which you want to store HU's.
4. During put away the system creates SU for the HU of the reference
document, e.g. inbound delivery. This SU has the same identification number
as its sister HU.
5. HUM must be activated for each plant/storage location combination.
6. HU itself is created in inbound delivery during packaging.

Now we can see the Handling unit management

in Detailed screen shot flow. Also I am covering
IM-WM scope of HU and not given PP related
Page 12

HU staging, QM related topics. It requires
Process walk through for Raw material flow
from WM to PP and back to WM as FG material
& QM Inspection before placing into
Warehouse. So I have not used the steps. This
document is pure Handling unit management
process within IM & WM.
SAP HU Customizing
The settings for handling unit are relatively simple and just take few steps, the demand
for further use in HU like combination with warehouse , picking-HU, HU determination or
also aggregated functionalities increase the complexity level accordingly. Basically the
necessary conditions is to set a packaging material type and a material group for
packing and have it assigned to material of the packing type. Some further minor setting
and any packable material can be packed in it, detailed information is available in
creating a packing material wiki page.
HU Structure
The VEKP table (Handling Unit - Header Table) is the one which contain the identification
and main overall information of the HU, the details is found in the item level, there are in
the table besides the ones shown in the picture below the fields related to status, which
document the HU is assigned and document number which HU is assigned, those fields
are very important to determine the current status of the HU.
The VEPO table (Packing: Handling Unit Item (Contents)) is the one which contain the
that has either material or pack information (in case of a nested HU exists), it is the item
level. All the HU must be comprised of Header + Item levels.

HU Creation on HU Managed Storage Location

step by step information of the instructions for one of the HU02 functionality which
performs the packing identification storing a certain quantity of a certain material as an
example for HU managed location. It has screenshot used in this example as well as
hyperlinks to other forms of HU creation.
HU creation summary
In this case the HU is created in ERP logistics directly in case where the packing occurs
before the delivery takes place; in this case it occurs on a HU managed storage
location hence the inventory of the HU is taken place in MM-IV-GF (storage location
inventory level). It can be done with only one transaction and it is required to have presettings like material package created and storage location set as HUM and its partner
location pre-defined.
Instructions
The example below looks like very similar to the one for non HUM storage location. The
difference is to fill the partner storage location into storage location field and then fill the
HUM storage location into destination storage location field. Then a 311 material
movement is performed when it is saved.
Go to transaction HU02:
1.
Go to tab Pack material;
2.
Enter packaging material on the top section of the screen under the column
Packaging Materials;
Page 14

3.
Press enter and a HU number is automatically generated and can be seen under
the Handling Unit column;
4.
On the lower section of the screen, enter the material to be packed, the quantity to
be packed, the plant and the storage location. Here is the difference from non-HUM
storage location, the storage location MUST BE the partner of HUM one;
5.
Enter the HUM storage location into Destination Storage Location field;
6.
To pack the material onto the HU, select the material in the lower section of the
screen, select the HU just created in the top section of the screen and click on the pack
button (as indicated in the screenshot below);
7.
Click the <save> button and the HU have been created. Notice that a material
document is also created.

managed one. It can be done with only one transaction and it is required to have some
pre-settings like material package already created.

content. The VLMOVE transaction is then used for the movements possible for any
handling unit and the packing/unpacking can be done through the delivery transactions
(inbound/outbound). A handling is mostly created through HU02 transaction.
*Transactions for creating and changing

Handling units are not included in document archiving for the delivery or the
transport. However, there is a report that archives handling units;
HU Transfer Summary
A known HU number is selected to be stored in a specific location; in this case it is from a
non-HU managed storage location into a HU managed storage location. The
goods in this case were already packed in the original location. Even though VLMOVE
does also some other processes like material to material and plant to plant it is not
covered in this specific article.
Instructions
The example below was done after having created some HUs of that material and packed
in a non-HUM storage location. So, basically the idea is to select it and inform the
destination data in that transaction, no delivery or posting change are created for the
311 movement, but a material document.
Go to transaction VLMOVE:
1.
Enter 311 in process movement field;
2.
Enter the destination plant and storage location value that it is expected to store
the HU;

HU Goods Issue from HUM and WM

step by step information of the instructions for VL01NO transaction which needs to be
performed after choosing a HU in HUMO transaction. It has screenshot used in this
example as well as hyperlinks to other forms of HU creation.
HU Goods Issue summary
In this case the HU is picked in ERP logistics directly in case where the packing occurs
location. The goods in this case are picked in the same quantity of HU. Even though it
is also possible to perform partial pickings from HUM which is called Pick-HU (LH01), it is
not covered in this specific article. In LT03 transaction the HU is shown then user can
accept that one available and in LT12 the pack is confirmed in the delivery, in the last
step the delivery is post goods issued. In the screenshot below it is visible that in
Page 43

HUM/WM location HU must be packed in WMS then goods issue afterwards through
delivery document.
Instructions
The example below was done after having the outbound delivery created in a plant and
storage location which is HUM and WM. So, basically the idea is to create a Transfer
Order in warehouse management system with an available HU and confirm it. It will allow
posting that packed quantity from the stock through outbound delivery document.

The stock is no longer in warehouse, the goods issue process is completed, the HU has
PSTD status, the delivery is posted. Hence a material document related to the goods
issue created. That HU could be reversed by using the delivery document number in
VL09. Notice that document where HU is involved can only be reversed once. Some users
complain that STO cannot be reprocessed because HU needs reversal on both inbound
and outbound. It is a system restriction and in such case the operation needs to be done
in the opposite direction to release the HU for further operations.

Customizing settings for automatic packaging

in deliveries
user may be able to understand the automatic packing concept during delivery creation
and be aware of the customizing settings needed for this functionality.
Handling Unit
The SAP ERP system sees a handling unit as a physical unit that consists of the
packaging materials (load carrier / packaging material) and its goods. A handling unit is
a combination of materials and packaging materials. The handling units can be proposed
in a sales order and determined on the delivery creation. The handling units can be also
staged using Warehouse Management in process manufacturing.
Automatic Packing
The automatic packing functionalities are used in delivery transactions. (VL01N), WM
(Warehouse Management) and EWM (Extended Warehouse Management) transactions.
Page 56

SAP HU Customizing for automatic packing in
deliveries
Basically it is necessary to set a packaging material type and a material group for
packing and have it assigned to material of the packing type.
Additional customizing setting are needed for

the automatic packing during delivery
creation:
1.
SPRO -> SAP Reference IMG -> Logistic execution -> Shipping ->
Deliveries -> Define Item Categories for Deliveries
Transaction OVLP
Packing control for the delivery item category V_TVLP-PCKPF is blank, which
means packing is allowed.
2.
SPRO -> SAP Reference IMG -> Logistic execution -> Shipping ->
Deliveries -> Define delivery Types
Transaction OVLK
Automatic packing V_TVLK-AVERP set for the delivery type.
3.
SPRO -> SAP Reference IMG -> Logistics - General -> Handling Unit
Management ->> Automatic packing -> Maintain Packing Transaction Profile

EAN128 Use
Due to the increased global networking of manufacturers, forwarding agents, merchants,
and consumers, the communication between all those involved in the supply chain is

becoming more and more important. A common numbering standard that is defined by
the international standardization organizations (UCC, EAN International) forms the basis
for efficient processing in this field. These standards include the UCC/EAN128 and one of
its sub-components, the Serial Shipping Container Code (SSCC), which can be used to
identify the handling units that were shipped. Within the supply chain, handling unit data
can be transferred from one section to the next, for example, through EDI with EDIFACT
or EANCOM standards using the UCC/EAN128 and the SSCC. You can have the SSCCs
assigned as unique numbers as the handling unit is created. These numbers then serve
to identify and track the handling units. The SSCC and other parts of the UCC/EAN128
can be combined to form a valid concatenated bar code or they can be extracted from
such a bar code. The SSCC is created from its own number range object. Integration:The EAN128 numbering system is integrated in the packing function and the SSCC bar
code can be read whenever there is a delivery split.
Prerequisites:- Before you begin working with the EAN128 functions, you must acquire
the basic number ILN2 (ILN="international location number") from the UCC or EAN
International.
Features:-When you create a handling unit, you can have an SSCC assigned
automatically. This assignment is controlled by the packaging material type. The number
range used in this process is determined according to the following logic:
1. Plant and storage location
2. Warehouse number
3. Plant
4. Client
The SSCC can also be assigned externally by the user, in which case it is checked by the
system against an external number range that is found using the same logic. At the
same levels, the basic number of the ILN 2 that is required for generating the SSCC is
specified. You can also use the Output section of Handling Units Customizing to print an
EAN128 label. The structure of the bar code is controlled using a profile. Using this
profile, the system determines how many bar code lines are to be printed and where an
application identifier is to appear. The profile is assigned to an output type. You can
define different profiles for the different label types. These label types include: lowerlevel HU (S - single label), HU containing only one material (M - main label), and HU
containing different materials (G - group label). You can control the form from the
standard output types in Customizing because the form and the profile are closely
related.

I herewith attached the OSS Notes used during my past projects. I hope this will help the
consultants during their bug fix/issue resolution/Fix.
Dear Friends,
I hope all the topics in HUM is covered in this document. But again HU management is
vast one and it is integrating all IM/WM/PP/SD/QM/PM/CS. But it is more robust to cover
all the topics. I have covered Handling unit management concepts and how it is related
to Warehouse management. Also OSS notes shared in this document will help the
consultants. It is an process walk rather than configuration information.
Thanks for the continuous support. For this Handling unit management topics only I got
more than 100s of mail form our friends...Thanks for showing interest and
encouragement given to me...
I like to share my hearty thanks to each and everyone.
Regards,
G.V.Shivakkumar
