| # Handling Units (whwmd5630m000) 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 appropriate menu, options you cannot use on account of the status of the selected handling unit are disabled. Related topics Handling units To set up handling units To maintain handling units Handling Unit Status Handling Unit The handling unit code that is used to uniquely identify the handling unit in 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 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. Parent Handling Unit The parent of the current handling unit. Related topics Handling unit structures 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. 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. 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 appropriate menu of the Compose Handling Units (whwmd5130m100) session. For further information, see Pack: to generate a handling unit for several items. In addition, if handling units are generated for receipts, shipments, advice, inspections, and order lines, the handling units contain the number of items specified on the shipment, receipt, and so on. Related topics To inspect inbound handling units To generate handling units Quantity The storage unit in which the quantity is expressed. Lot The lot to which the items in the handling unit belongs. Note If you scan a handling unit's label on receipt and the handling unit is specified for the ASN or ASN line in the Shipment Notices (whinh3100m000) session, LN retrieves the lot from the ASN or ASN line. If no lot is specified on the ASN or no ASN is available for the receipt, LN retrieves the lot from the Receipt Lines (whinh3112s000) session, if specified. Inventory Date The inventory date of the handling unit.

This means, that the dimensions of the handling unit will not change if items are added to the handling unit. Gross Weight The gross weight of the handling unit.

Gross Weight The unit in which gross weight of the handling unit is expressed. Net Weight The net weight of the handling unit. The net weight is solely the weight of the items in the handling unit. As a result, the net weights of all children are included in the net weight of the handling unit, while the weights of all packaging items in the handling unit are excluded.
