Listing 8.2 Program Code for Packing Requirement 112
These types of user-defined requirements are, however, the exception for packing.
I have increasingly seen the following settings at customer sites though, and
many users are confused by them. I do not know how many times I have explained
these settings to users — and even to developers and consultants. They concern
the plausibility check during packing, and whether the material to pack fits the
packaging material.
You can specify that all types of beer are packed (or rather shipped) in beer crates (or
carriers) onto Euro-pallets. However, you also sell accessories (beer mats, beer glasses,
beer pumps, promotional clothing, and so on), which are packed into boxes. Because
the boxes and the Euro-pallets have to be defined in the material master as packaging
materials, you use the controls described here to ensure that you do not pack your beer
crates into boxes by mistake, and the beer glasses directly onto the Euro-pallets.
Figure 8.3 displays the connection between these. You first group your packaging
materials (such as boxes, pallets, wire boxes) using the packaging material type. You
have to define the packaging material type in Customizing.
