hello everybody,

the scenario is as under:

1. When the packing is to be done for the materials to be sent to customer, how can a label be generated. This label is to be pasted on the cylindrical box which is discussed in the following point.

2. The finished good is a cylindrical piece. first it is packed in cylindrical plastic boxes. Then depending upon the sizes of the cylindrical boxes (which ultimately depend on the size of the finished item), a specific number of such boxes are packed into a corrugated box. In SAP while carrying out packing (in this case mutli level) how can a specific number be generated for the corrugated box. This number should continue in a sequence for individual customers. i.e. for every customer number the box number should be different.

Allabaqsh,

There are two options here.

1). Using preprinted bar code labels with sequence number: In this case, you have to configure Handling Unit Management to have external assignment for container number.

2). Using label printed from SAP. In this case the Handling Unit assignment has to be done with internal number generation.

You can configure output type V6 for (Handling units) from transaction code NACE to issue an output to print HU labels as soon as a delivery is packed or a HU is generated. This would require developing a label form from label design softwares.

In the configuration from SPRO. Check Logistics General->Handling Unit Management->Basics->Technical Basics->Define Number Ranges for Handling Units

Rewrds points if this information is helpful.

Cheers,

hi,

if i do the assignment of the output type from NACE for handling units, then after i save my delivery with packing done, then the output type shows delivery note.how do i print labels then?

also how can i generate packing slip whenever i save a delivery with packing?

the packing slip should have a number and it should show me the box numbers & quantity. if i generate a packing slip for pallets then pallet becomes outer box. it has a specific number. then the corrugated boxes which are packed on to the pallet become inner box. the packing slip shouls show me the inner boxes quantity and number.

please reply.

Allabaqsh,

Hope you solved your question here, I have a similar kind of issue,

We had requested that the customer part# print on the packing/shipping label. This was done. But now it is not printing. This is an extremely urgent issue because we are getting several complaints from our customers.

Appreciate your help.--Thanks.

The process can be fulfilled using handling unit. You can associate an output (label) to each HU. HUs can be created either in production or shipping.

Each HU has also his numbering, internal end external, and you can customize it under spro logistic general->HU management
