Configure Handling Unit Management - SAP S/4HANA Supply Chain

Hello everybody and welcome to microlearnings. My name is Markus Oertelt. I'm an SAP S/4HANA Cloud senior solution  advisor, and I work in the area of product success and customer co-innovation at SAP. During this microlearning, we will cover how to configure handling unit  management. This is interesting for you, as you will see the latest enhancements in the configuration related to handling unit management. If you are an SAP S/4HANA Cloud application  consultant, process consultant, or project/program manager, this microlearning is especially for you. Our main focus is the latest configuration  enhancement in handling unit management, as well as  showing configuration handling with new self-service configuration user interfaces. What has changed with the latest  enhancements in handling unit numbering? Now the system provides a unified numbering  system for handling units that will enable you to use handling units in storage locations that use warehouse management and those that  don't. Also, the internal number range is unique in your system now, therefore all warehouses will share the same internal number range. Entering a serial shipping container code with the international location number of your  warehouse is possible by maintaining an external number range interval. Serial shipping container code numbers with an international location number of another  location can only be entered in the inbound process. Now you can assign number range intervals to a packing material type for internal number  assignments or external number assignments. Let's start the demonstration in the system where we see the effects of the latest  enhancements in handling unit numbering configurations. So, let's take a look at the enhancements in handling unit numbering. First, we have this app here, Manage Your  Solution. I'm going to click on it to go to the configuration, and then I need to click on Configure Your  Solution. And all the application areas of our configuration are opening in S/4HANA Cloud. I want to search for Handling Unit and here, see, I get three sub-application areas. So, let's take a look at this General Settings  one in Logistics, and at the moment, in the latest  release, I have five steps to configure. Let's look at the enhancements, the two most  important ones, that came with the latest release. And here, for example, with step two and three, if we look at step three, Define Number Range Intervals for SSCC, for  example, we can see that the intervals have been  rearranged now to an external and internal. But the most important change that happened within this configuration setup is, if you look at the ID number, 102867, that is in the Logistics, and then I'm going to type in Handling Unit one  more time and I'm going to go to General Settings in the Warehouse Management, you can see that here, with step number eight, Define Number Range Intervals for SSCC, you also find the same ID number. Meaning the enhancement was that in the  Logistics, and now in the Supply Chain management, the same configuration ID is used, which make it faster and easier for you to configure your number ranges. The second big enhancement, when we go back to the handling unit search, is in the Logistics, and here we see with step  number four, Assign Number Range Intervals to Packaging  Material Type/Plant/Storage Location, that you can define the number range intervals from which handling identification is obtained. So if I open this, you can configure, and I want to open up a new entry, and here you can also use the Package Material  Types that are pre-configured. For example, we just use the first one for an  SSCC Pallet, and you can enter a plant, for example, and also, if you want to, a storage location and then you could define if it's an internal interval or an external one. And this is how easily, with the latest enhancements in S/4HANA  Cloud, you can define the number range intervals from which the handling unit identification is  obtained. Let's take an outlook. With the next release for S/4HANA Cloud, there's going to be packaging in deliveries as well as a new enhancement in the  configuration with global transporting labeling for handling  units. With that, you can configure and define number ranges and intervals, also maintain global transport label generation for each plant and storage location. Let's move a little bit into the future. So, what will come, or what are we working on, in handling unit management? We're working on automatic packaging and  delivery, master data packaging, which is basically the inventory-managed  packaging material, then also on a new API for packaging  instructions and also we want to make some more  enhancements in the packaging material type self-service configuration user interface. Before ending this microlearning, let's recap what we have covered. Changes in latest release for unified handling unit numbering. Also I showed you the new self-service configuration user interfaces for the two most  important handling unit numbering enhancements. For further learnings, check out the openSAP  course Building Tomorrow's ERP with SAP S/4HANA. All right, now it's time to apply what you've  learned. Thank you and goodbye.
