	<AimSection><Paragraph>To create handling units for a large quantity of items of a particular type at once and set up a handling unit structure for these items, you can use the <GUIRef href="/baanerp/wh/wmd/whwmd5130m100#option.pack" role="formcommand">Pack</GUIRef> command and the <GUIRef href="/baanerp/wh/wmd/whwmd5130m100#option.create.details" role="formcommand">Create Detail Handling Units</GUIRef> command on the <GUIRef href="" role="menu">Specific</GUIRef> menu of the <GUIRef href="/baanerp/wh/wmd/whwmd5130m100" role="session">Compose Handling Units (whwmd5130m100)</GUIRef> session. These commands are very useful if, for example, a large quantity of a particular item in your warehouse has no handling units and you want to maintain handling units with a handling unit structure for these items in SSA ERP.</Paragraph>

	<GeneralSection><ProcedureList><ListTitle>Use the <GUIRef href="/baanerp/wh/wmd/whwmd5130m100#option.pack" role="formcommand">Pack</GUIRef> command</ListTitle>
			<ListIntro>This procedure consists of the following steps:</ListIntro>
			<ListItem>From the <GUIRef href="" role="menu">Specific</GUIRef> menu of the <GUIRef href="/baanerp/wh/wmd/whwmd5130m100" role="session">Compose Handling Units (whwmd5130m100)</GUIRef> session, select the <GUIRef href="/baanerp/wh/wmd/whwmd5130m100#option.pack" role="formcommand">Pack</GUIRef> command.</ListItem>
			<ListItem>Select the item and specify the quantity of the item for which you want to create handling units.</ListItem>
			<ListItem>Optionally, select a package definition for the item.</ListItem>
			<ListItem>Create a handling unit for the selected item. <List><ListItem>If you selected a package definition, the handling unit and the handling unit structure is generated as specified in the package definition.</ListItem>
					<ListItem>If you did not select a package definition, a handling unit is created that includes all selected items. For example, if you select 100 items of a particular type, SSA ERP generates one handling unit for all of the selected items. For further information, see <Link href="/baanerp/wh/onlinemanual/000354" role="manual">Pack: to generate a handling unit for several items</Link>. To create child handling units for this handling unit, use the <GUIRef href="/baanerp/wh/wmd/whwmd5130m100#option.create.details" role="formcommand">Create Detail Handling Units</GUIRef> command. For further information, see <Link href="/baanerp/wh/onlinemanual/000355" role="manual">Create detail handling units</Link>.</ListItem>
