Packing Prerequisites 8.1
The parameters OutputDet.Proc. and Output Type are set for each packaging
material for which you want to print a label. These fields are explained in more
detail in Chapter 10, Shipping Papers and Documents. The Plant determin. and
GenerateDlvltms fields are explained in Section 8.3.
The number assignment field is important for this is where you specify whether
you wish to identify your packaging materials as a handling unit with a particular
number. In the case of packaging material such as the Euro-pallet, choosing the
internationally recognized SSCC numbers is recommended. SSCC stands for Serial
Shipping Container Code. The structure of the SSCC code is predefined. It currently
begins with a “3,” followed by a 7-digit ILN number (international location number),
then a 9-digit consecutive number, which uniquely identifies the packaging
material, and it ends with a check digit. The code therefore comprises 1 + 7 + 9 +
1 = 18 digits. This is why it is often referred to as the SSCC18 code.
For the HU type you select “Pallet” in this case. Enter the number ranges for an
internal or external number assignment. For the SSCC numbers, this would be the
number range for the 9-digit consecutive numbers.
For the boxes (packaging material type “ZKAR”), enter the number range interval
‘HU-VEKP’ in the Number assgnmt field and “Unrestricted usw” as the HU
type.
In a second step, you can now use the packaging material group function to group
your materials that are packed in the first instance with the same packaging material
(such as cardboard boxes, pallets, wire boxes).
All materials that are packed directly onto a Euro-pallet are assigned the same packaging
material type. All materials that are first packed in cardboard packaging with certain dimensions
are assigned a different packaging material type, even if the packed materials
are then packed again onto a pallet. In this case, the box itself is assigned a material
group for packaging materials, which in turn is assigned to a pallet.
Launch Customizing and maintain your material groups for packaging materials.
Your own material groups should begin with a “Z.” To give you an example, I have
maintained the material groups presented in Figure 8.3 (see Figure 8.5).
