      <Paragraph>Handling units are used to define the packing structure of the
		items. Every handling unit has a structure for packing materials and items. You
		can use a handling unit for warehouse processing, only if the handling unit is
		linked to the entity that represents the applicable warehouse movement, such
		as:</Paragraph>
      <List>
         <ListItem>Inbound or outbound warehousing order line</ListItem>
         <ListItem>Receipt header or receipt line</ListItem>
         <ListItem>Inspection line</ListItem>
         <ListItem>Inbound or outbound advice line</ListItem>
         <ListItem>Shipment header or shipment line</ListItem>

            <Paragraph>A handling unit is a uniquely identifiable physical unit
			 that consists of packaging and contents. A handling unit can contain items
			 registered in Warehousing and can contain other handling units. You can
			 manually create a handling unit structure for a given number of items, or you
			 can define a package definition in which you set up a template that determines
			 the handling unit structure for particular types of items.</Paragraph>
