  1. Handling Unit Management (HUM) for Production SAP Best Practices

  2. Purpose, Benefits, and Key Process Steps • Purpose • You use Handling Unit Management (HUM) to control logistical processes. • A handling unit represents a physical object in the SAP system. It consists of a load carrier, one or more packed products and an unlimited quantity of packaging materials. Each handling unit has a unique identification number, which is typically printed as a barcode on a material tag. • You can specify the material and the quantity that is to be packed in certain packaging, that is, in one handling unit. These requirements are reproduced in a packing instruction. This packing instruction can be used to create handling units automatically. • Benefits • Automatic packaging according to packing instructions • Track movements of groups of individual materials by tracking the handling units that contain them • Full integration into the logistic chain • The scenario offers you the possibility to demonstrate HUM with or without warehouse management • Key Process Steps • Creation and release of production order for handling unit (HU) production • HU packaging in production order • Goods receipt for produced HU • Monitoring of HU • Confirming production of HU • HU handling with WM or HU handling without WM

  4. Detailed Process Description • Handling Unit Management (HUM) for Production • This scenario describes the packaging process and goods receipt at the end of a production order with HUM. The stock is posted directly into storage location and available for picking with or without Warehouse Management. • The first step is the creation and processing of a production order (release, material staging, printing of shop floor papers). • The produced material is automatically packed into Handling Units (HU) • Goods receipt of the HU of the production order to the storage location (varying due to the use of Warehouse management or not) • Monitoring of HU in the HU monitor (creation, status and contents of the single HU can be checked) • Confirmation of HU production order • Optional: Sales order and delivery processing with or without warehouse management
