hi,

If you want to delete a handling unit completely, proceed as follows:

In the packing dialog, select the Pack material or Pack HUs tab.

Select the handling unit to be deleted and choose HU - Delete.

During deletion, the handling unit concerned is completely emptied and removed from all higher-level handling units.

For Hu already in shipment processing:

With the archiving object LE_HU, you have the following functions at your disposal:

· Analysis of Archivability of Handling Units

Using the preprocessing program RHU_AR_ARCHIVABILITY_CHECK, you can check in advance how many handling units can be archived. The program can also supply you with a detailed list of handling units that cannot be archived.

· Archiving Handling Units

You archive the handling units using the program RHU_AR_WRITE_TO_ARCHIVE.

· Deleting Handling Units

You use the program RHU_AR_DELETE_FROMD_DATABASE to delete archived handling units from the database.

· Displaying Handling Units

You display archived handling units using the program RHU_AR_READ_FROM_ARCHIVE. Here, any possible hierarchical structure of the handling units is taken into consideration so that the system displays the entire hierarchy.

In the Archive Information System archived handling units are displayed in the original transaction.

When you display archived deliveries via transactions VL33N (inbound delivery) and VL03N (outbound deliveries) or the Archive Information System any archived handling units are also displayed.

·Reloading Handling Units

For emergency cases, for example, if you archived handling units by mistake, you can use the program RHU_AR_RELOAD_ARCHIVE to reload to the database handling units that were already archived and deleted. Only use this function in emergency cases and, before you use it, make sure you observe the notes in the online documentation of the reload program.

During reload, any existing hierarchical dependency of the handling units is taken into consideration, that is, the system will only reload complete groups of dependent handling units.

Calling Up Archiving

To call up the archiving function for handling units, select the following path from the SAP menu: Tools à Administration à Administration à Archiving . This calls up archive administration, and then you enter the archiving object LE_HU.

Integration

Handling units can only be archived if the documents assigned to them have already been archived.

· Sales order

· Inbound delivery

· Outbound delivery

· Shipment

· Work order

Non-assigned handling units can be archived if they have the active status “Goods issue posted” or “Deleted”. Also, you can enter a residence time for the archivability check; this is the time that must have passed since the last change to the handling unit before you can archive it.

Using the customer exit, you can perform additional checks also.

Handling units that are in the same hierarchy group can only be archived if the entire group of dependent handling units can be archived. Groups of dependent handling units are always archived by the system together.

regards,

Siddharth.
