HU Configuration for Storage Location

Hi everyone.

In the following point of config, there is something I do not understand.

I hope somebody can explain it to me.

HU Requirement for Storage Locations and Default Values for Deliveries

Are the Vendor and Customer needed in this table?

If they are, what purpose do they serve? What are they needed for?

And again, if they are, do they represent the Plant? or what?

Should they be created with special characteristics?

I know a lot of questions, But I do not understand.....

Thanks,

Alain

Hello Alain,

When you are making the storage location is HU managed, and when you try to execute any IM transactions like stock transfer, transfer posting, system doesn't directly post a material document unlike in regular non HU managed locations.

For example if you try to execute MB1B-311 from HU managed location to non HU location, system tries to create an outbound delivery document. And to create this outbound delivery document you need a customer and this is the place where system gets that customer information. Same is the case for vendor in inbound delivery.

And it doesn't require to create deliveries all the time if you want to execute these inventory transactions. VLMOVE transaction can be used to posting material document without deliveries.. But not all business scenarios will use VLMOVE as it has its own limitations.

You can maintain the HU requirements for a vendor or customer. So e.g. if a delivery is created for customer and the setting for HU requirement is maintained for the combination of delivering plant, storage location, customer, you need to pack the materials in an HU before doing PGI.

Thanks for your answer.

Bust as usual more information leads to more question.

You are saying that if this info is maintained for one Customer in the delivering Plant and Storage Location, you need to pack into an HU before PGI

You surely do not need an entry in this table for each Customer.

You can pack a Customer orders\ into an HU without an entry into this table.

I do not understand this.

Can you explain to me please.

Thanks again,

Alain
