| Use this session to view or maintain handling units. Note that enhanced handling unit maintenance and handling unit structure manipulation functionality is available on the Compose Handling Units (whwmd5130m100) session. To maintain a handling unit in the Compose Handling Units (whwmd5130m100) session, select the handling unit and click Compose Handling Units. As a result, the Compose Handling Units (whwmd5130m100) session opens displaying the selected handling unit and other handling units with matching warehouses, locations, and statuses. If you do not select a handling unit and start the Compose Handling Units (whwmd5130m100) session, the Compose Handling Units (whwmd5130m100) 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 this session. Note On the Specific menu, options you cannot use on account of the status of the selected handling unit are disabled.

Fields | Description
Handling Unit | The handling unit code that is used to uniquely identify the handling unit in ERP LN. You can either manually define handling units in this session or in the Compose Handling Units (whwmd5130m100) session, or generate handling units in various stages of the inbound and outbound flows. If you manually define a handling unit in this session, to define the handling unit code you can enter an alphanumeric code in this field. To enable ERP LN to generate handling units, you must use Handling Unit Mask to define handling unit codes. When a handling unit is generated, the handling unit code is generated as specified in the handling unit mask.
Status | Handling Unit Status
Complete | If this check box is selected, the structure of the handling unit has not changed since the handling unit was received in the warehouse. If the structure of the handling unit is change after receipt, this check box is automatically cleared.
Splittable | If this check box is selected, the handling unit can be split up into two or more handling units, for example, as a result of inbound advice to different locations.
Version | The version number of the handling unit. The initial version number of version-controlled handling units is 1. After a version-controlled handling unit is split, it obtains a new version number. Handling units that are not version-controlled always have version number 0. Handling units for which splitting is enabled can be defined as version controlled in the Handling Unit Version Controlled field of the Item - Warehousing (whwmd4100s000) session.
Parent Handling Unit | The parent of the current handling unit. Related topics Handling unit structures
Multi-Item Handling Unit | If this check box is selected, the handling unit contains items of more than one type.
Fully Blocked | If this check box is selected, the entire stockpoint is blocked. If this check box is cleared, the stockpoint is not blocked or partially blocked. Related topics To block and unblock
Latest Version of Label Printed | The latest version of the label that was printed for the handling unit.
Rejected | If this check box is selected, the handling unit is rejected. If the rejected inventory functionality is in use, rejected handling units can be allocated. In such cases, the rejected handling unit would have the Allocated status. To indicate that the allocated handling unit is rejected, this check box is selected.
SSCC Standard | If this check box is selected, the handling unit code meets the SSCC Standard.
Blocked for Outbound | If this check box is selected, the items contained in the handling unit are blocked for the outbound flow. Related topics To block and unblock
Blocked for Transfer(Issue) | If this check box is selected, the items contained in the handling unit are blocked for transfers to other warehouses. Related topics To block and unblock
Blocked for Cycle Counting | If this check box is selected, the items contained in the handling unit are blocked for cycle counting. Related topics To block and unblock
Blocked for Assembly | If this check box is selected, assembly is not allowed for the items contained in the handling unit. Related topics To block and unblock
Created by Process | If this check box is selected, the handling unit is a dummy handling unit created by a warehousing process to support the consistency of the handling unit structure for the warehousing process. For example, two boxes, handling unit A and handling unit B are picked from the stock for the same order line. In the shipment created for the order, one shipment line with two boxes is created. To provide a link between the two handling units and the shipment line, a new dummy handling unit is created, which serves as a parent for theses two boxes. This dummy handling is marked Created by Process and and this handling unit appears on the shipment line.

Quantity in Inventory Unit | The item quantity expressed in the inventory unit. Note that if you manually create a handling unit, you cannot specify the number of items to be packed by means of the handling units. To pack items by means of a handling unit, you can use the Pack command on the Specific menu of the Compose Handling Units (whwmd5130m100) session.

Related topics To inspect inbound handling units To generate handling units
Quantity in Inventory Unit | The unit of measure in which the inventory of an item is recorded, such as piece, kilogram, box of 12, or meter. The inventory unit is also used as the base unit in measure conversions, especially for conversions that concern the order unit and the price unit on a purchase order or a sales order. These conversions always use the inventory unit as the base unit. An inventory unit therefore applies to all item types, also to item types that cannot be kept in stock.
Number of Visible Units | The visible units of a handling unit are the units that you can see. For example, if the handling unit is a pallet that contains 12 boxes, the number of visible units is 12, because you can see units that are placed on a pallet. If, on the other hand, the handling unit is a container that contains three pallets, the number of visible units is one, because the only unit that you can see is the container. In this field, you can manually enter the number of visible units, but you can also use the Calculate Visible Units command to calculate this number. The results calculated by this command are inserted in this field, overwriting any manual insertions.

Serial Number | The serial number of the item.
Handling Unit
Item | The item that is packed by means of the handling unit.
Quantity | The quantity of items expressed in the storage unit. If the handling unit is a parent and one or more child handling units of the parent are destroyed after inspection, the destroyed quantity is subtracted from the parent's quantity displayed in this field. Note that if you manually create a handling unit, you cannot specify the number of items to be packed by means of the handling units. To pack items by means of a handling unit, you can use the Pack command on the Specific menu of the Compose Handling Units (whwmd5130m100) session.
