Hello Zeineb Mrabet

SAP standard will prevent a shipment deletion if it's packed i.e. contains handling units. That's what the note 2912470 - Unable to delete the Shipment via VT02N explains.

If a shipment contains handling units but VTTK-PKSTK is not set, it's obviously inconsistent. There are at least couple notes on that problem e.g.:

528357 - Corr. report: VTTK-PKSTK "Shipment Contains Handling Units"

445510 - Shipment with handling unit can be deleted

528209 - VTTK-PKSTK (Packing status) is not set by TPSSHT01

You might also have some enhancement implemented that prevents correct update of VTTK-PKSTK. But that I can't be sure of without access to your system.

Hello zeineb.mrabet

No, that's not possible - you can't delete a shipment if it contains handling units. That's is about handling units created within the shipment document.

However, Deliveries assigned to a shipment can be packed in handling units. If so, these handling units will be visible on the packing screen of the shipment but they are not shipment's handling units; they are delivery handling units. It's possible the a user has seen delivery handling units on the shipment packing screen.

Hello Dominik,

in this case how to know if they are delivery handling units or shipment handling unit?

Thanks a lot ,

Hello zeineb.mrabet

Deliveries' handling units would be display-only on the shipment packing screen. The handling unit on your screen shot is changeable, thus it's shipment's handling unit.
