Description:  Packing delivery items is carried out right in the delivery itself. Packing delivery items is carried out right in the delivery itself. From the overview screen, choose Edit  Pack in order to access the packing screen. 
Key features:  The following functions are available during packing: Packing delivery items in handling units (HUs) and allocating individual items to several handling units.  In addition to the standard packing of delivery items in handling units, you have the option of automatically packing a specific quantity into several different handling units. Multi-level packing  You can pack handling units in one another. In this case, packing is multi-level. The number of possible packaging levels is 999999. Unpacking items that were already packed  Items that have already been packed can be unpacked again. This is also the case for multi-level packed handling units. Responses to exceeding weight or volume  If the weight or volume limit is reached when packing items in handling units, then only the maximum packable partial quantity is packed. If you have selected another handling unit that has space for packing, the remaining quantities are packed into that handling unit. Deleting handling units  Handling units can be deleted in the delivery. First, the handling unit that is to be deleted is unpacked and then it is removed from any higher-level handling units (if applicable) before it is actually deleted. Emptying handling units  Handling units can be emptied out. Unlike unpacking, where only selected items from the HU are removed, here the handling unit in question is completely emptied. Handling Unit single entry  You can enter handling units and handling unit contents manually by using the single entry function. Changing packing quantities  Changing the packing quantities is possible in various overviews. However, the packing quantities can no longer be changed after goods issue has been posted. In Customizing for packing, you can specify further conditions under which packing is not to be possible. Creating delivery items from handling units  Delivery items can be created from handling units. In this way, it is possible to manage inventories and also to invoice them. To accomplish this, generation of delivery items for packaging materials must be set for the delivery type in Customizing and the packaging material type must suggest a delivery item generation as a default. Displaying the allowed packaging materials  You can display a list of all allowed packaging materials for an item to be packed, as long as the material group Packaging material is maintained in the packaging data in the material master for the material concerned. Checking for allowed packaging materials  A check is carried out to make sure that the packaging material is meant for packing a certain material. Customizing for packing is used to control which packaging materials are allowed for packing. Packing proposals in sales orders and scheduling agreements  It is possible to enter packing proposals in sales orders and scheduling agreements. These specifications automatically lead to a packing proposal in the delivery if a special data transfer routine is maintained in Customizing for copying control between the sales documents and the delivery. The packing proposal can be changed in the delivery. It is also possible to pack the delivery according to the packing proposal in the preceding document by using the Use proposal function in delivery processing. Packing and decentralized warehouse management If you are working with decentralized Warehouse Management, packing takes place in several steps. Packing data in deliveries is distributed to the decentralized system with the delivery. This packing data can be copied or changed in the decentralized system, depending on the actual packing process. With confirmation of the delivery to the central system, the original packing is deleted and is replaced by the actual packing from the decentralized system.  Note  If the storage location in the decentralized system is HU-managed, then for outbound deliveries, no packing data for delivery items must be reported by the central system. Automatic packing and batch split For a batch split in the delivery, you can set the item category in Customizing to indicate whether the entire batch quantity or only an individual batch item is to be packed. If you enter " " in the Pack batch main item field and no split items are available, then no items are proposed for packing. If the delivery item contains an HU-managed storage location, this delivery item must be packed at the split level. In this case, the indicator (pack batch main item) is overridden. Note  If a packing proposal has been defined in the order for a material to be handled in batches, and if automatic batch determination is not carried out when a delivery is created, then this delivery is not automatically packed.You must select automatic packing by order proposal from the menu (see: Automatic Packing Through Order Proposal).Example for packing with batch split, taking the batch main item indicator into consideration: Item Material Delivery quantity Accum. batch qty Batch main item Result 10 Mat1 10 pcs   Nothing packed       10 Mat1 10 pcs  X 10 pcs       10 Mat1 0 pcs 10 X 10 pcs 900001 Mat1 4 pcs  X Batch 1 not packed 900002 Mat1 6 pcs  X Batch 2 not packed       10 Mat1 0 pcs 10  Not packed 900001 Mat1 4 pcs   Batch 1 = 4 pcs 900002 Mat1 6 pcs   Batch 2 = 6 pcs  Creating packing data from subsystems  It is possible to copy packaging data from subsystems to the delivery. Cross-delivery packing in shipment processing  In shipment processing you can pack in the following ways: Delivery items that have not been packed in the delivery and which are not required packaging can be packed. Highest-level handling units in the delivery can be packed in shipment handling units.  Since the packing depends on the shipment, different packing methods can be used in a follow-up shipment with the same deliveries. If a delivery HU is packed in a shipment HU, the entire contents of the handling unit in the delivery can no longer be changed. No storage units are created for shipment handling units. Example  The following diagram shows how handling units are packed in the delivery.
