With this process, you can repack stock in your warehouse. The repacking process is executed in the clarification zone. Before starting the repacking process, you can create ad-hoc warehouse tasks to move the products/handling units to be repacked to the clarification zone. At the end of the process, you move the repacked products/handling units to the final bin. There are different use cases for repacking:
- Pack stock into a handling unit.
- Repack stock from one handling unit into another handling unit.
- Unpack stock from one handling unit onto the bin.
Business Benefits
- Support different internal packing use cases.
- Control and record movements of goods in the warehouse.
- Map your warehouse complex in the system down to a storage bin level.
- Improve visibility and control in warehouse processes.

Key Process Flow
For a graphical overview on the business process of the scope item Warehouse Internal Repacking (3BW), refer to the SAP Signavio Process Navigator as described in the lesson The Impact of Warehouse Management.
- Repack handling unit:
The packaging of an existing handling unit might not suffice the warehouse requirements. Therefore, the handling unit is moved to a packing zone where it is repacked, for example in another handling unit.
- Pack product into handling unit:
Unpacked products should be packed in handling units. Therefore, the material is moved to the packaging area, where a handling unit is created, and the material is packed into this handling unit.
- Unpack handling unit:
Some products should not be stored in handling units. Therefore, the handling unit is moved to the packaging area, the product is unpacked, and the handling unit is deleted by the system. The product may then be putaway again without a handling unit for packaging.
