The packaging material type combines packaging materials into groups and contains essential control features which apply to the corresponding shipping materials. When you specify a shipping material type in the material master record, each shipping material is assigned to a shipping material type.
The packaging material type controls the following points:
- Output determination procedure and output type
By specifying an output determination procedure and an output type, you determine which output can be printed during packing.
- Sorting sequence
If several handling units are processed, you can define the sorting sequence with which the handling units are presented in the dialog.
- Plant determination
Within delivery processing, delivery items can be generated from the handling units. This allows you to manage stocks for packaging materials (for example, your own or possibly special stocks) and to bill packaging materials. Two requirements must be met to do this:
- An item category must exist in the handling unit. For an automatic item category determination, an item category group must be defined in the material master for the packaging materials, which is maintained in the delivery item category determination in Customizing for the relevant delivery type.
- Packaging material category
The packaging material category defines what is dealt with for the packaging material type; the packaging material type "truck" could, for example, be assigned to the packaging material category "means of transport", and a pallet to the packaging material category "packaging".
- Number assignment
By entering a packaging material, you define, when generating a handling unit according to the method set for number assignment, how the identification of the handling unit is created.
The assignment of a SSCC18 is, where necessary, also possible, if you set the number assignment here, using a number range interval, as long as you have maintained the handling unit category for the SSCC18 Generation. - Number range interval
If the identification of a handling unit results from a number range object, the number range interval is then defined by the number being retrieved.
- Handling unit category for SSCC18
Here, the category for the packaging material is defined for generation of SSCC18.
Defines whether the tare weight for packaging materials for this packaging material type has a changeable tare volume.
Example
Requirements
Standard settings
In the standard delivery, plant determination is set so that the plant can be entered manually in the handling unit.
Recommendation
Maintenance for the handling unit category SSCC18 generation should always be scheduled, as an SSCC18 can be assigned at any time.
Activities
- If you want to create a new packaging material type, enter an alphanumeric key with a maximum of 4 characters together with a textual description.
- Make the necessary specifications in the detail screen of the packaging material type.
Further notes
- Packaging materials for the packaging material category "auxiliary packaging materials" cannot be used for generating handling units. They can only be used for supplementing the packaging in a handling unit.
- Always assign numbers clearly, using a number range interval or a SSCC18 generation.
