Handling Unit in STO scenario.

We have a STO scenario where a Handling Unit is shipped out (GI-ed) from the sender and has to be received (GR-ed) at the receiver.

As per standard SAP functionality, the Handling Unit will go to Posted Status on Goods Issue against the Outbound Delivery and cannot be re-used/packed in the Inbound Delivery during Good Receipt.

What could be a way around this? The only option I can think of is delete the HU's records from VEKP and VEPO tables after GI (using SE16 debug/edit) and then recreate a new HU with same external number (VEKP-EXIDV) and use that to pack the Inbound Delivery.
