How to print Handling Unit Labels for Production

Former Member

Hello Experts,

i am new to this, so please excuse the stupid question.

In my scenario, I have ERP (old 4.7) with WM and Handling Unit Management configured. My scenario covers production in ERP (standard process order) and then moving the goods to WM. Because I want to use Handling Unit Management, I need to create labels for the product (pallet) with the handling unit information + Material, Batch, etc.

For the printing, we have a StreameServe that will handle the actual Form (barcodes, layout, etc.). I am not sure, what has to be done in ERP to feed StreamServe with the required data.

What I found so far is that customizing in OMNU/NACE/V/74 and SE71 is required. This information is atleast for regular WM labels. Is this the same for Handling Units?

What is the overall process for the customizing in ERP to make the print happen?

Do I need to write my own print program or is it possible to use existing SAP print programs (we are willing to change the StreamServe form if neccessary).

I would appreciate any help in understanding the required steps in ERP. Thank you.

Best regards

Tomasz

Hi Oscar,

In the standard SAP we have the T-Code VL74 which can be used to print the HU label,

Looking at the thread you have a legacy system StreameServe which takes the input from SAP and generates a label based on the predesignate form and layout. in this whatever field you want to print on label you need to pass the detail to the legacy system using the Output message type / CSV file / XML file, these depend upon what file format legacy system can accept also you need to check about the connectivity with your BASIS team

As far as ease of operation are concern i will recommend to use SAP to generate HU label however i am not sure what are the situation / scenario in which you are supposed to use a legacy system for HU label so don't want to comment on that.

Hello Manish Kumar,

We are looking into using SAP to do print our labels.

I found the discussion below somewhat helpful:

check in master material, for the packing material you use what packaging mat type you have (view sales:general/plant)

Then run VHAR and select your packaging material type. There you'll find two fields to fill: output determination procedure and output type

Run NACE , application V6 and click on procedures button. Select the one you filled in previous step and click on control. Add if not yet there, the message you filled in previous step

Finally, run NACR, application V6 to create a output record for your message. Type in your packaging material type and enter details (partner function not required)

Now when creating the delivery and packing, if you go to edit, pack ,system will display existing hus. Double click a hu line item and in next screen (detailed data for handling unit xxx)  select extras, output and your message should be determined authomatically

Regards,

JM

I followed the steps described, used VL74 as you suggested, and I got the following message:

Then I go to NACE and I see the program there.

What am I missing?

Hi Oscar,

Output type is custom hence unable to tell you much however In my system i am unable to find the HULABEL _G74 could you please check whether this form exist in your system and if yes then the path mentioned in the setting is correct.

As per the standard SAP we are having output type 0001 for handling unit and we have different program and form for that

I changed the output type for 0001 and it worked! The custom output type was the one used to interact with legacy system (We don't want legacy system anymore) and I had forgotten to change it.

The last questions I have are:

Was output type 0001 supposed to print barcodes? Because I only see plain text and I was looking for both. Is it because I used a regular printer and not a barcode printer?

Is there any way to change the layout of the printed label (a TCODE to configure it) or do we need a custom program to do so?

Thanks for your time Manish Kumar, you are a life saver!

T-Code SE71

in most of my implementation i have seen that client has developed their own form and attached to the custom Output type as Standard form was not meeting their requirement
