System setup if a storage location is using both HU and WM

[Former Member]

Hello,

We are using Handling Unit in the inventory in one of our
storage location, and this storage location is also WM activated (i.e. tied to
a WM), is there any setup and configuration require for this storage location?
Or anything which I need to watch out for?

Regards,

* You need to activate storage unit management for the storage types you have in your WM under this Storage Location.
* You need to ave a partner location (without HUM) assigned to be able to unpack/pack goods in WM.
* You need to get the number ranges the same for HU and SU.
* You need to assign external number to SU (pick SU number from HU number)
* You cannot have negative stock in your storage types with SU/HU (except for the interim ones)
* HU and SU are very handy in warehouse, they contain all the info about the quant(s) inside the SU/HU
* In SU/HU you have already batch, quantity, stock category etc.so if you scan the SU/HU you don't need to specify any of that info, it is taken from the quant(s)

* In process of putaway, you first need to pack your goods in HUs to ba able to create a putaway TO (in LT03)
* In internal warehouse processes it is easy to use HU/SU
* During picking, you can assign a HU to the delivery, then pick everything to that HU
* Many more, you can find more info on SU/HU here:
Handling Unit (HU) - Warehouse Structure - SAP Library

Storage Unit Management - Warehouse Management System (WMS) - SAP Library

To customize all that, you need o follow the basic HUM customizing steps:
SPRO IMG => Logistics - General => Handling Unit Management
And WM customizing of storage unit number range:

OLML (Logistics Execution) => Warehouse Management => Master Data => Define Number Ranges

Hello Daniel,

Roughly speaking, pay attention to the Storage Unit Management (SUM). You will have to activate it in order to join both worlds (WM and HUM).

You will find more information about SUM in the scn.
