	<HelpTopic><AimSection><Paragraph>Use this session to set up and maintain <Link href="/baanerp/wh/glossary/glossary#000432" role="glossary">handling units</Link> and <Link href="/baanerp/wh/glossary/glossary#000433" role="glossary">handling-unit structures</Link>.</Paragraph>
			<Paragraph>Various commands are available to create or modify handling units and handling unit structures. For example, you can add a child handling unit to a parent, or remove a child from a parent, or remove the parent handling unit from the handling unit structure. In addition, you can validate a handling unit against a <Link href="/baanerp/wh/glossary/glossary#000446" role="glossary">handling unit template</Link>. This is useful, for example, if you want to check whether a handling unit structure that you composed matches the packing requirements for a particular customer.</Paragraph>
			<Paragraph>For example, if you have defined a handling unit of type Pallet A and 20 handling units of type Box B, you can create a handling unit structure in which the handling unit of type Pallet A is the parent of the handling units of type Box B. Items that you pack using this handling unit structure are put in boxes, and the boxes are put on the pallet.</Paragraph>
			<Paragraph>Frequently, changes to handling unit structures are required, for example, to make the load fit the truck, or to change the load if other items than those originally planned must be loaded. In such cases, fewer boxes are stacked on Pallet A, or Pallet A carries 10 boxes of type B and 12 boxes of type C for a particular transport.</Paragraph>
			<Paragraph>You can also use <Link href="/baanerp/wh/glossary/glossary#000357" role="glossary">package definitions</Link> and link the package definition to an item. When you generate a handling unit for the item, the handling unit structure is composed according to the package definition. If required, you can change these package definitions in this session.</Paragraph>

		<GeneralSection><SectionTitle>How to operate the <GUIRef href="/baanerp/wh/wmd/whwmd5130m100" role="session">Compose Handling Units (whwmd5130m100)</GUIRef> session</SectionTitle>
			<ProcedureList><ListIntro>If you selected a handling unit in the <GUIRef href="/baanerp/wh/wmd/whwmd5130m000" role="session">Handling Units (whwmd5130m000)</GUIRef> session and started this session, this session displays the handling units whose warehouse, location, and status match the status, warehouse, and location of the selected handling unit. If you started this session from the <GUIRef href="/baanerp/wh/wmd/whwmd5130m000" role="session">Handling Units (whwmd5130m000)</GUIRef> session without selecting a handling unit, this session displays the handling units whose status, warehouse, and location match those of the top handling unit from the list of handling units displayed in the <GUIRef href="/baanerp/wh/wmd/whwmd5130m000" role="session">Handling Units (whwmd5130m000)</GUIRef> session. To change the selection of handling units displayed in this session, proceed as follows:</ListIntro>
				<ListItem>In the fields of the <GUIRef href="" role="manual">Selection Filter</GUIRef> group box, enter the criteria that SSA ERP must use to retrieve the handling unit for which you want to maintain the handling unit structure. For example, if you specify a warehouse, a location, a status, and an item, SSA ERP retrieves the handling units with matching warehouses, locations, and so on.</ListItem>
				<ListItem>Click <GUIRef href="/baanerp/wh/wmd/whwmd5130m100#option.apply" role="formcommand">Apply</GUIRef> to make SSA ERP retrieve the handling units. The retrieved handling units are displayed in the bottom half of the session.</ListItem>
			</ProcedureList>
			<Paragraph>To use one of the commands to maintain a handling unit or handling unit structure, select the handling unit and click the relevant command on the toolbar or the <GUIRef href="" role="menu">Specific</GUIRef> menu.</Paragraph>
			<Paragraph>To start the <GUIRef href="/baanerp/wh/wmd/whwmd5130m000" role="session">Handling Units (whwmd5130m000)</GUIRef> session to view details of a handling unit, double-click the handling unit.</Paragraph>
			<Paragraph>Alternatively, you can use the <GUIRef href="" role="manual">Tree Structure</GUIRef> to maintain handling unit structures. To view the <GUIRef href="" role="manual">Tree Structure</GUIRef> for a handling unit, select the handling unit and click the <GUIRef href="" role="manual">Tree Structure</GUIRef> button.</Paragraph>
