      <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="command">Pack</GUIRef> command and the <GUIRef href="/baanerp/wh/wmd/whwmd5130m100#option.create.details" role="command">Create Detail Handling Units</GUIRef> command on the <Link href="/baanerp/tc/glossary/glossary#specific" role="glossary">appropriate</Link> 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 LN.</Paragraph>

         <ListTitle>Use the <GUIRef href="/baanerp/wh/wmd/whwmd5130m100#option.pack" role="command">Pack</GUIRef> command</ListTitle>
         <ListIntro>This procedure consists of the following steps:</ListIntro>
         <ListItem>From the <Link href="/baanerp/tc/glossary/glossary#specific" role="glossary">appropriate</Link> 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="command">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, LN 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="command">Create Detail Handling Units</GUIRef> command. For further
				information, see <Link href="/baanerp/wh/onlinemanual/000355" role="manual">Create detail handling units</Link>.</ListItem>
