SSCC number with HU management

[rguan88]

Hi Gurus,

One of our client haven't activate the HU management, and it is using SU management for his finish good. We want to generate the GS1 compliance label with SSCC number.

Is there a way here generate the SSCC number without HU management?

Cheers,

Sure, just enter for the SU number range as you are provided with your GS1 prefix.
You want to printout the bar-codes for your all units of measure, from the lowest to your highest one.
The approach you take depends on your specific requests, so I can't exactly tell you what to do.

There is one more issue here.

We have one warehouse number only, and manage Finish good and raw material on different storage location, but the same warehouse number.

As the idea is only use the SSCC number for Finish good only. is there a way to control the different SU number range by location?

Cheers,

Richard

No, there's no standard customizing which could allow you to use different SU number ranges for the same WhNum and different SLoc.

Why is it important from business side to have that number range split?
Just wondering, since I don't really see this as something crucial...
If this is the biggest problem, that's good news, then you have great processes...
You can do it by using a user exit most probably, but again, I don't think this should be a show-stopper.

Hi Mihailo,

one simple question, we have a company prefix e.g. '0123456' is using in the GTIN number today, can we use the same company prefix for SSCC number?

Hi Richard,

Generally GS1 compliance label should contain the below parameters

1. SSCC18

2. SCC14

3. Serial Number

4. Multi pack ID or Case pack ID or Box ID

Other details depends on the individual company process and kind of product and kind of business rule.

Hello,

SSCC number has some significance like  ILN code, type of packing material etc. Ideally speaking it is good to have HU management active because HU number becomes SU number in WM. Depending upon your business process, if it is not advisable to use HUM then you have to control number range in SU. Another option is to use external number for SU which I believe you not go for.

Thanks,

Hi Milind,

Thanks for your reply, if I go for the storage unit management, how I can generate the SSCC number? Like the check digit. etc.

Can we use the FM LES_SSCC_GENERATE?  but this FM is base on the HU SSCC configuration.

Thanks for your help.

Hello Richard,

It seems that you need big custom development as there is no std provision to generate SSCC number in SAP without handling unit management. My suggestion is as below.

(1) First of all you should understand the logic of  SSCC generation.

(2) After creation of TO, capture your SU number in custom table with all details of plant, sloc, WH, TO number and item number, SU number etc. You can use user exit of TO creation to update your custom table.

(3) Write a program to create new SSCC SU number by referring current SU corresponding to  plant,SLOC,WH,TO number and item  as per your logic and update it in another column of your custom table. This number would be your SSCC number which would corresponds to original SU. Once SSCC is created it should be printed in barcoded form. You can write program accordingly. 

(4) You can create background job and run in 5-10 min interval time  to update new SU as SSCC in custom table.

My purpose is to use above logic so that all std things would remin undisturbed. I might have  missed out some steps which you will catch at the time of actual enhancement.

All the Best!!

I tried to put the LE_SSCC number range into the HU management configuration. and LE_SSCC_Generate can generate the number.

If I don't want to activate the HU mgmt, is there an exit to update the number range of LE_SSCC when I generate a SSCC number?

Hello Richard,

I would prefer HUM should be active, since in future if you wanted to have the HU packing functionality at hierarchy for GS1/GTIN at Carton-Case-Pallet level.
