      <Paragraph>You can use handling units to receive goods into a warehouse.
		Handling units help speed up the receipt of goods. To receive goods based on
		handling units, you must generate handling units for the shipment notices or
		order lines that list these goods.</Paragraph>

      <SectionTitle>Shipment notices and handling units</SectionTitle>
      <Paragraph>A ship-from business partner can use an <Link href="/baanerp/wh/glossary/glossary#000308" role="glossary">advance shipment notice (ASN)</Link> to send information about the goods, and the
		handling units used to pack these goods, that are on the way. The ship-from
		business partner's handling unit identification codes are stored in the <GUIRef href="/baanerp/wh/inh/whinh3100m000#whinh300.exhu" role="manual">External Handling Unit</GUIRef> field in the <GUIRef href="/baanerp/wh/inh/whinh3100m000" role="session">Shipment Notices (whinh3100m000)</GUIRef> session.</Paragraph>
      <Paragraph>You can use a shipment notice to generate handling units and a
		handling unit structure based on the shipment notice, shipment-notice lines,
		and the item load structure.</Paragraph>
      <Paragraph>The shipment notice's handling unit is the top handling unit in
		the <Link href="/baanerp/wh/glossary/glossary#000433" role="glossary">handling unit structure</Link>. The shipment-notice lines'
		handling units are the child handling units of the shipment notice's handling
		unit. The item-load structure's handling units are the child handling units of
		the shipment-notice lines' handling units.</Paragraph>
      <Paragraph>However, if a <Link href="/baanerp/wh/glossary/glossary#000357" role="glossary">package definition</Link> with a handling unit template is
		related to the items on the shipment lines, the handling unit structure is
		generated as defined in the handling unit template. For further information,
		see <Link href="/baanerp/wh/onlinemanual/000338" role="manual">The use of package definitions</Link> and <Link href="/baanerp/wh/onlinemanual/000320" role="manual">Package definitions</Link>.</Paragraph>
      <Paragraph>In addition, various settings for automatic generation of
		handling units from ASNs are available in LN. For further
		information, see <Link href="/baanerp/wh/onlinemanual/000339" role="manual">To set up automatic generation of handling units from ASNs</Link>.</Paragraph>

         <SectionTitle>Shipment notice lines and handling units</SectionTitle>
         <Paragraph>If a handling unit is generated for the shipment notice,
		  handling units are also generated for the shipment-notice lines. You can also
		  generate handling units for individual shipment lines.</Paragraph>

         <Paragraph>If the supplier provides the ASN with handling unit codes,
		  these codes are copied to create LN handling unit codes.</Paragraph>
         <Paragraph>However, if identical handling unit codes exist in LN before the arrival of
		  the ASN, this would result in duplicate records. In such cases, LN generates new unique

      <SectionTitle>How to receive handling units in the warehouse and in LN</SectionTitle>
      <List>
         <ListIntro>You can receive goods based on handling units as follows:</ListIntro>
         <ListItem>In the warehouse, scan the handling unit's <Link href="/baanerp/wh/glossary/glossary#000434" role="glossary">label</Link>.
		  After scanning, the handling units are automatically set to <GUIRef href="/baanerp/wh/domains/hust#received" role="option">Received</GUIRef> in LN. This method is
		  available if the supplier provides handling unit codes in an ASN announcing the
		  arrival of the goods.</ListItem>
         <ListItem>Manually receive the handling unit in LN</ListItem>
      </List>
      <ProcedureList>
         <ListIntro>To manually receive the handling unit in LN, proceed as
		  follows:</ListIntro>
         <ListItem>Start the <GUIRef href="/baanerp/wh/wmd/whwmd5130m000" role="session">Handling Units (whwmd5130m000)</GUIRef> session.</ListItem>
         <ListItem>Select the handling unit that you want to receive. To be
		  available for receipt, a handling unit must have the <GUIRef href="/baanerp/wh/domains/hust#open" role="option">Open</GUIRef> status
		  or the <GUIRef href="/baanerp/wh/domains/hust#transit" role="option">In Transit</GUIRef> status. For further information, see <Link href="/baanerp/wh/domains/hust" role="domain">Handling Unit Status</Link>.</ListItem>
         <ListItem>On the <Link href="/baanerp/tc/glossary/glossary#specific" role="glossary">appropriate</Link> menu, select the <GUIRef href="/baanerp/wh/wmd/whwmd5130m000#" role="command">Execute Inbound</GUIRef> submenu.</ListItem>
         <ListItem>From the <GUIRef href="/baanerp/wh/wmd/whwmd5130m000#" role="command">Execute Inbound</GUIRef> sub-menu, click <GUIRef href="" role="manual">Print Goods Received</GUIRef> to

            <Paragraph>Printing goods received notes is not a required inbound step
			 for all warehouses. If your warehouse does not require goods received notes,
			 you can leave this step out of your inbound procedure. For further information
			 on defining inbound procedures, see <Link href="/baanerp/wh/onlinemanual/000006" role="manual">To define warehousing procedures</Link>.</Paragraph>
         </ListItem>

      <Paragraph>To receive a handling unit, the <GUIRef href="" role="optionlist">Handling Unit Status</GUIRef> must be <GUIRef href="/baanerp/wh/domains/hust#open" role="option">Open</GUIRef>. To
		receive warehousing orders with <GUIRef href="/baanerp/wh/domains/inh.oorg#transfer" role="option">Transfer</GUIRef> or <GUIRef href="/baanerp/wh/domains/inh.oorg#transfer.man" role="option">Transfer (Manual)</GUIRef> origins, the handling unit must have the <GUIRef href="/baanerp/tc/domains/hust#in.transit" role="option">In Transit</GUIRef> status.</Paragraph>
      <Paragraph>When a handling unit is received, the status of this handling
		unit and the status of any related child handling units obtain the <GUIRef href="/baanerp/tc/domains/hust#receipt.open" role="option">Receipt Open</GUIRef> status.</Paragraph>
      <Paragraph>When the receipt is confirmed, the handling units are
		automatically updated with the manual changes on the receipt lines and obtain
		the <GUIRef href="/baanerp/tc/domains/hust#received" role="option">Received</GUIRef> status.</Paragraph>
      <Paragraph>If you confirm the receipt of a handling unit, you actually
		receive inventory for the warehousing order line to which the handling unit is

      <SectionTitle>Receipt lines and handling units</SectionTitle>
      <Paragraph>When you carry out the receipt of a handling unit in the <GUIRef href="/baanerp/wh/wmd/whwmd5130m000" role="session">Handling Units (whwmd5130m000)</GUIRef> session, a separate receipt line is created for the
		handling units with the lowest levels in the handling unit structure.
		Therefore, for handling units that have no child handling units in the tree
		structure, a receipt line is created if a parent handling unit is received in
		the <GUIRef href="/baanerp/wh/inh/whinh3512m000" role="session">Warehouse Receipts (whinh3512m000)</GUIRef> session.</Paragraph>

      <SectionTitle>To receive sequenced shipments with handling units and
		references</SectionTitle>
      <Paragraph>The receipt of sequenced shipments by means of handling units
		is carried out in the same way as handling units for non-sequenced shipments,
		as described previously, except that the ASN that is sent by the ship-from
		business partner has a reference to the relevant purchase schedule.</Paragraph>
      <Paragraph>When a handling unit is generated for the ASN, the reference is
		also linked to the handling unit. If handling units with references are
		received, the references are also linked to the receipt lines created.</Paragraph>
      <Paragraph>When the receipt (line) is confirmed, the reference is, together
		with other receipt information, passed on to the <GUIRef href="/baanerp/td/pur" role="module">Purchase Control</GUIRef> module.
		The <GUIRef href="/baanerp/td/pur" role="module">Purchase Control</GUIRef> module passes on the reference to the <GUIRef href="/baanerp/ti/asc" role="module">Assembly Control</GUIRef> module
		to inform that the sequenced shipment has arrived.</Paragraph>
