Add Handling Unit
Explanation
This activity is used
to create a handling unit structure consisting
of one or multiple handling unit levels. A handling unit is a device that can be
handled physically and may carry/contain other handling units or items in a structure.
There are three types of handling units:
- Homogenous Handling Unit, where all the handling units contain the same item.
- Mixed Handling Unit, where the handling unit(s) contain varying items.
- Simplified Handling Unit, a handling unit with no sub handling units
connected and only contain one item.
The basic data for handling unit types must be created before you can add
them to the structure.
Prerequisites
- At least one handling unit type must have been defined in the
basic data.
System Effects
- Handling units will be entered on the handling unit structure.
Note: This information is used for the dispatch
advice message, to advise the customer about the specific handling unit
IDs that will be shipped to the customer.
