      <Paragraph>You can use 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 or the <GUIRef href="/baanerp/wh/wmd/whwmd5130m000" role="session">Handling Units (whwmd5130m000)</GUIRef> session to create detail handling units for a
		particular handling unit. In this way, you set up a handling unit structure in
		which the detail handling units become the child handling units. Note that the
		total number of items contained in the handling unit structure is not affected,
		only the number of handling units is increased.</Paragraph>
   </AimSection>
   <ExampleSection>
      <Paragraph>For example, a handling unit has 100 items and you want these
		handling units to be packed in 10 boxes. For this purpose, you specify 10
		packaging items of type Box (a user-defined packaging item). The number of
		packaging items of the handling unit determines the number of detail handling
		units that ERP Enterprise generates.</Paragraph>
      <Paragraph>As a result, for each of the 10 packaging items a handling unit
		of type Box is created. The 100 items are evenly divided over the 10 packaging
		items (the number of items remains unchanged). These detail handling units
		become the child handling unit of the original handling unit, which becomes the
		parent. For the parent handling unit, you can specify a new packaging item, for
		example of type Pallet (another user-defined packaging item). The result is a
		handling unit structure consisting of a pallet and 10 boxes, each box
		containing 10 items.</Paragraph>

         <ListIntro>To create detail handling units for a particular handling
		  unit, proceed as follows:</ListIntro>
         <ListItem>In the <GUIRef href="/baanerp/wh/wmd/whwmd5130m100" role="session">Compose Handling Units (whwmd5130m100)</GUIRef> session, the <GUIRef href="/baanerp/wh/wmd/whwmd5130m000" role="session">Handling Units (whwmd5130m000)</GUIRef> session, or the <GUIRef href="" role="manual">Tree Structure</GUIRef>,
		  select the handling unit for which you want to create detail handling units.</ListItem>
         <ListItem>Start the <GUIRef href="/baanerp/wh/wmd/whwmd5130m000" role="session">Handling Units (whwmd5130m000)</GUIRef> details session for the selected handling unit. To
		  start the <GUIRef href="/baanerp/wh/wmd/whwmd5130m000" role="session">Handling Units (whwmd5130m000)</GUIRef> details session for the selected handling unit,
		  proceed as follows: <ProcedureList>
               <ListItem>In the <GUIRef href="/baanerp/wh/wmd/whwmd5130m100" role="session">Compose Handling Units (whwmd5130m100)</GUIRef> session or the <GUIRef href="/baanerp/wh/wmd/whwmd5130m000" role="session">Handling Units (whwmd5130m000)</GUIRef> session, double-click the selected handling unit.</ListItem>
               <ListItem>In the <GUIRef href="" role="manual">Tree Structure</GUIRef>, right-click the
				selected handling unit and click <GUIRef href="" role="manual">Details</GUIRef> from the context
				menu.</ListItem>
            </ProcedureList> As a result, the <GUIRef href="/baanerp/wh/wmd/whwmd5130m000" role="session">Handling Units (whwmd5130m000)</GUIRef> details session appears displaying the handling unit
		  details.</ListItem>
         <ListItem>On the <GUIRef href="" role="manual">Quantity/Weight</GUIRef> tab of the the <GUIRef href="/baanerp/wh/wmd/whwmd5130m000" role="session">Handling Units (whwmd5130m000)</GUIRef> session, select the required packaging item, of type
		  Box, for example, and enter the required number of packaging items.</ListItem>
         <ListItem>Save the data and exit the <GUIRef href="/baanerp/wh/wmd/whwmd5130m000" role="session">Handling Units (whwmd5130m000)</GUIRef> session.</ListItem>
         <ListItem>Back in the <GUIRef href="/baanerp/wh/wmd/whwmd5130m100" role="session">Compose Handling Units (whwmd5130m100)</GUIRef> session, the <GUIRef href="" role="manual">Tree Structure</GUIRef> or
		  the <GUIRef href="/baanerp/wh/wmd/whwmd5130m000" role="session">Handling Units (whwmd5130m000)</GUIRef> session, highlight the handling unit and click <GUIRef href="/baanerp/wh/wmd/whwmd5130m100#option.create.details" role="command">Create Detail Handling Units</GUIRef> on the <Link href="/baanerp/tc/glossary/glossary#specific" role="glossary">appropriate</Link> menu. As a
		  result, a message appears informing you that detail handling units have been
		  created.</ListItem>
         <ListItem>To remove detail handling units, highlight the handling unit
		  and, on the <Link href="/baanerp/tc/glossary/glossary#specific" role="glossary">appropriate</Link> menu, click <GUIRef href="/baanerp/wh/wmd/whwmd5130m000#rem.label.handling.unit" role="command">Remove Detail Handling Units</GUIRef>. To use the previous
		  example, if you created 10 boxes containing 10 items each, the boxes are
		  removed and one handling unit (the pallet, the former parent) remains
		  containing 100 items.</ListItem>

      <SectionTitle>Distribution of items among packaging items</SectionTitle>
      <Paragraph>If you define packaging items for a handling unit, ERP Enterprise proportionally
		distributes the items contained in the handling unit among the packaging items
		that you define. For example, if you define 10 packaging items for a handling
		unit that contains 100 items, each packaging item contains 10 items.</Paragraph>
      <Paragraph>If the number of packaging items and items rule out proportional
		distribution, ERP Enterprise distributes the items as evenly as possible among the packaging items. For
		example, if you define 10 packaging items of type Box for a handling unit that
		contains 27 items, ERP Enterprise generates 9 packaging items, each of which will contain three items. If you
		define 12 packaging items of type Box for a handling unit that contains 45
		items, ERP Enterprise generates 11
		packaging items, 10 of which contain four items and one containing one
		item.</Paragraph>
