Hi,
What exactly is the difference between SU and HU?
What are the advantages of SU being active?

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.

There are numerous advantages of using SU.Some of them are as follows.
1.Create homogeneous & mixed SU's .
2.Place materials into storage using an identification pont.
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,"
9.You can scan storage unit using mobile data entry by implementing bar code.

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:
