Documentation

Definition

Uniquely identifies a handling unit within a client. A handling unit is combination of materials and lower-level handling units that are packed together at one time in a packaging material (box or pallet, for example).

Use

There can be several items in one handling unit. The following information is recorded in these items:

• What auxiliary packaging materials are also included in packing
• What materials the item contains
  (including stock information, if the handling unit is at an HU-managed storage location)
• Which delivery item is used as a reference if the handling unit is assigned to a delivery, and which lower-level handling units are packed in this handling unit (if one handling unit is nested in another).
