Hi Experts,
We are in a pre-blueprint phase, trying to decide if we need HU at our plant. This is my first time with HU's, I understand how HU/packaging works but am still looking for some answers.
1. Based on what factors do we decide to implement HUM at a facility? We have batches of materials going into the same boxes. Its a large facility with usually whole boxes being shipped or received (no individual pieces movement). Also we are going to have full blown SAP WM here.
2. What is the difference between Handling Units and Handling Unit Management? I know the movement of HUs is tracked and known as HUM...but can HUs exist without HUM?
3. I see HUs at shipment and delivery level. Whats the pros and cons of each method? Also I read about implementing HU at warehouse level in contrast to at delivery level
I am not looking for configuration details, just a high level understanding of how HUs work. I would really appreciate if you could share a couple of lines about HU with me.
Regards,
Vik
