About SUM & HUM

SUM:

1.SUM can be controlled for each storage type and allows you through the use of Sus to manage material quantities for each container or pallet as a self contained unit within a storage type.

2.Certain storage functions such as mixed storage control ,removal from storage functions in bulk storage ,or capacity checks requires use of SUM in the warehouse as prerequisite.

SUM activated for following reasons

1.Movement of mixed pallets as a single unit within the

warehouse.

2.Identification & management of materials using

storage unit numbers assigned internally or externally.

3.WM can communicate with fork lift control systems via

interface without having to maintain material data in the external system.

HUM:

1.HUM represents a packaging controlled logistics system

in which all movements are mapped through HU's .

2.If you use HUM then you must use the GR process with

inbound deliveries.

3.If you use HUM in connection with WM then you must

activate storage unit management for all storage types in which you want to store HU's.

4.During putaway the system creates SU for the HU of the reference document ,e.g.inbound delivery.This SU has the same identification number as its sister HU.

5.HUM must be activated for each plant/storage location

combination.

6.HU itself is created in inbound delivery during packaging.

3.Create TO 's &confirm stock movements for storage units.

4.Transfer whole SU 's internally.

5.Add stock to existing SU's

6.Display the content of SU's

7.Print documetns to accompany SU's

8."Plan good issues for e.g to stage materials in replenishment storage bins in production,"

Hi Alex,

Storage unit is used in warehouse management, it may represent boxes, pallets, etc. > you can move the goods (quants) refering to the SU.

Important that the SU is used only in WM and not in IM.

Handling units are used in both WM, IM. The handling unit is a composit of the product and packaging material:

product + packaging material = handling unit

If you are using both HUM and WM, the HU becomes a storage unit. Please check:
