Hi,

the standard documentation is quite extensive (but well hidden): Automatic Generation of Packaging Items for Goods Issue - Delivery Processing - SAP Library

Hi Ramesh.R,

what exactly did you do and what does not work?

So e.g:

1.) did you run the BC set so that you have now the new delivery item type for the pack items (it is usually OPHU)? If this item type is not there you can not continue. So this would be the first step.

2.)  did you do the necessary configuration in customizing (Automatically Generate Packaging Items)

     2a.) activate that the automatic packaging should be done for which deliveries?

     2b.) define which packaging material types are relevant?

     2c.) define which item type and stock type the new packaging items should get?


3.) did you configure that sufficiant stock is available for the packaging materials and did you configure that the goods movement bin determination can find the relevant bin?


So please check if you did all these steps (basically taken from the help).


Best regards

Hi,

not much to add to what Markus wrote.

The question is how far did you come? What happens and what does not happen. What have you set up?

Hi Juergen / Markus,

Thank you both for your replies.

Configured all the mentioned steps  & maintained the sufficient stock also.

But during Goods Issue it gives a error msg " Cannot find stock for product xxxx - no negative quantities".

Appreciate your help to solve this issue.

Hi Ramesh

Is the stock in the correct bin as per goods movement bin determination table? I think you need to select option C for GmBin Det. field. Bin only determined from determination table & mention storage bin for GM posting. As these products are not relevant for picking....you can just hold the stock of these at defined GM bin. So that system can find stock at GI of ODO

Hi Phani,

Thanks for your reply.

As we have maintained the stock as specified in the GMBin Det field.

Still system gives the same error.

Any other inputs to solve the issue.

Hi Ramesh,

Can you check either the consumption relevance VAS check box is activated for packaging materials?

If it is there, system expect the packaging material also along with product.

Is the stock type in the delivery ok?

Are you using fix bin assignment for stock determination or some more "complex" logic? Maybe start with something simple like fixed bin assignment so that you know that it works and eliminate other sources of error.

Hi Markus,

We are using 2 Packaging Items for packing an HU.

At Lvl1 we use a Basket Packaging Mtrl

At Lvl2 we use a Pallet Packaging Mtrl at this we use HU Creation.

During Goods Issue system is picking / proposing only the Lvl2 Packaging Item.

How do we consider the Lvl1 Packaging Mtrl for consumption during Goods Issue.

Kindly suggest

Regards

Hi,

I think you have one basic issue, which is NOT the creation of the item.

"We are using 2 Packaging Items for packing an HU.

At Lvl1 we use a Basket Packaging Mtrl

At Lvl2 we use a Pallet Packaging Mtrl at this we use HU Creation."

That means you find a packaging specification during the WO creation with the packaging profile?

Are you sure that the first packaging material is considered at all? What do you see when you confirm the WO? I would guess that you only see the Lvl2 pack material at this point, because the pick HU creation does not consider the first level.
