Layer Quantity
Use
You can use the layer quantity to ensure that a layer is completely filled; for example, to prevent
possible damage in transit.
Example
If you want to pack a pallet with four boxes per layer, enter four as the layer quantity. If there are
not enough boxes to fill up a layer, the other boxes remain unpacked.
This means that the pallet remains stackable and easier to handle throughout the shipping
process.

Define Number Range for Packaging Specification

Define General Packaging Specification Parameters

Define General Packaging Specification Parameters

Use
In this IMG activity, you specify the general packaging specification parameters.
Activities
Create one entry for each client.
Assign the number ranges for packaging work steps and level element groups.
Enter the form name of the form you wish to use for printing packaging specifications.
If you want to use document management, enter the RFC destination of the SAP R/3 system,
and the object type used in the SAP R/3 system.
You also decide whether changes to packaging specifications should be documented using
change documents.
You should only activate updates of determination logs for test purposes.

Define Packaging Specification Group

Use
In this IMG activity, you create groups for packaging specifications.
A group consists of a description, the assignment of a number range interval, and a level set and
is used in the authorization object for packaging specifications.
Furthermore, you specify whether packaging specifications of this group are to be distributed to
other SCM systems.
Activities
Create a group for packaging specifications and assign it a description, a number range for
the packaging specification ID, and a level set.
Distribution of packaging specifications:
If you have just one SCM system, choose the value 'local' for the Distribution field.
If you have several SCM systems, specify here whether packaging specifications of this group
are to be distributed from this system (option: source system).
In the other SCM systems, you then set the 'target system' option for this packaging specification
group. As a result, this PS group will not be offered for selection during the creation of
packaging specifications.
Example
Within your company, packaging specifications can be used or written by by both internal and
external employees (such as those of a vendor).
Create group 01 for external employees and group 02 for internal employees.
By including the groups in the associated role for the employees, you can ensure that external
employees can see packaging specifications but are not allowed to make any changes.
As you are working with two SCM systems, choose the 'Packagaging Spec. Source System'
option for the two groups 01 and 02 in system SCM1. In system SCM2, set 'Packaging Spec.
Target System' for the two groups.
Activate with Cond. Record
With this indicator you define whether or not packaging specifications with a certain packaging
specification group can be activated without a condition record.
Use
If you want to activate packaging specifications without a condition record, set this indicator to
no.

Maintain Master Data for Packaging Specifications

Maintain Master Data for Packaging Specifications

Use
In this IMG activity, you define master data for level sets.
Activities
You can specify a packaging specification as a template for each level set, so that the
corresponding condition records of this template packaging specification are copied when a
new packaging specification is created with this level set.
If you wish to adjust the copying of the condition records, implement the BAdI BAdI: Use
Condition Record Template of a Packaging Specification.

Maintain Structure of Packaging Specification

Define Level Type
Use
In this IMG activity, you create level types.
A level type consists of a description and various default values.
A level type is a prerequisite for a level set.
Activities
Create a level type with a description.
If you wish, you can enter default values for the Target Quantity in Level and the Performing
Entity.
Specify whether a level of this type can be deleted in a packaging specification.
You can use the symbol to predefine the display for a level of this level type on the packaging
specification user interface.
Example
Create the level type 'Basic Packing'.
Since this level of packing is always performed internally in your company, you save the default
value 'Warehouse'.
If the basic packing level should be used to exactly describe how a piece of a product should be
packed, you store a target quantity of 1. Since you want each packaging specification to contain
this level, you set the 'Not Deletable' indicator.
Check the Performing Entity Drop down
Quantity Classification in Warehouse
Describes in which packaging unit a product is stored in the warehouse.
Use
The storage type determination pick uses quantity classification to determine the storage type in
which the product is stored in the optimal packaging unit. Quantity classification arises from the
packing instruction, according to each quantity required.
The operative unit of measure also arises from the packing instruction, by means of quantity
classification. Here, the system determines the quantity classification based on the customizing
settings in the storage type, or in the product master on storage type level. The operative unit of
measure is displayed when executing the transaction. If the setting round is set in the warehouse
storage type, the system rounds the stock removal quantity based on the operative unit of
measure.
Example
The following quantity classifications are defined for a warehouse:
1 = loose (individual components)
2 = cartons
3 = tiers
4 = pallets
Performing Entity
The executing entity tells the user of a packaging specification who is responsible for the
execution at this level.
Use
To create VAS orders, only levels are used whose executing entity matches the executing entity
of the warehouse.
Example
A packaging specification contains two levels:
Level 1
Pack product into small boxes and attach a label.
Level 2
Pack 200 small boxes onto a pallet.
All packing steps in the first level should be performed by the vendor. All packing steps in the
second level are performed in the warehouse.
HU Creation
Use
Controls whether this level will create a Handling Unit during automatic packing.
Example
Your packaging specification describes two levels: an inner level where 10 pieces of product A
fit into a carton and an outer level where 5 cartons are placed onto a pallet.
During automatic packing, you can set this indicator to control whether a nested handling unit is
created (indicator must be set to yes for both levels), or whether the system only creates one
Handling Unit for the pallet (indicator must be set to yes for outer level only).

External Storage Process Step

VAS process step that is performed in the warehouse.
Use
The VAS process step determines the work center in the warehouse where the VAS activity for
this PS level is to be performed.

Kitting
Use
You can use packaging specifications to explain what the worker needs to do to build a kit.
If you work with a value added service order (VAS order), this indicator specifies which activity
in your VAS order is the kitting activity.
Example
A packaging specification has three levels:
- Oiling
- Assembling
- Packing
As oiling is done for kit components, you want the warehouse worker to record the first activity
in the VAS order (oiling) on kit-component level .
The second VAS activity (assembling) results in the kit. You therefore set the kitting indicator
for this level.
In the third VAS activity (packing), the warehouse worker records how many kits he packed.

Define Element Type

Define Level Set

Define Level Set

Use
In this IMG activity, you define level sets.
A level set defines the structure of a packaging specification. It consists of level types and
element types.
It enables you to predefine a uniform structure for packaging specifications in your system.
If a user creates a packaging specification with reference to this level set, the system adopts all
the default values, and the newly created packaging specification already contains empty levels
and elements.
Requirements
You have created level types and element types (see also: Define Level Type and Define
Element Type).
Activities
1. Create a level set with a description.
 2. Assign one or more level types. You can also assign one or more element types to each
level type.
3. Specify the number of products that can be contained in a packaging specification.
4. If you have configured packaging specification determination, you can store a default
value for the condition type. This condition type is automatically proposed to the user when
creating a packaging specification.
Example
You want each packaging specification to describe the basic packaging and the transportation
packaging for a product. Create a level set 'Warehouse' and assign the two level types 'Basic
Packing' and 'Transportation Packing'. Each of these level types should contain a main packaging
material; assign the element type 'Main Load Carrier' to each of the level types.

Condition type is assigned to the Level Set

Define Work Step Type
Use
In this IMG activity, you define packaging work step types. The work step types ensures a
logical grouping of work steps.
You can assign a work step to one work step type. You can use the work step type to restrict
permissions of work steps for a packaging material. These permissions are ensured by assigning
work steps to packaging material types.
Activities
Create one or more work step types.
Example
You can use the work step types 'Include' and 'Seal' to ensure that when you create a packing
instruction, packaging materials such as "Plastic Bags" are not linked to work steps that belong
to "Include".
Define Packaging Material Types
Use
In this IMG activity, you define the packaging material types that you need for packing. The
packaging material type summarizes packaging materials into groups, and contains the
essential control characteristics that are valid for the relevant packaging materials.
Activities
Create the required packaging material types and use the following indicators or fields to
determine how this packaging material is to be used:
Packaging material category
The packaging material category specifies the type of packaging material contained in
this packaging material type.
Variable tare weight
Specifies the tare weight of a packaging material in this packaging material type as
variable. This causes the system to adjust the tare weight when the total weight of a
handling unit changes.
Closed
Indicates whether the packaging material is closed packaging.
Status profile
Assigns the user status profile maintained here to the handling units that you generate
with the packaging material of this packaging material type.
Capacity check method
Determines how the capacity check method is to be performed.
Delete
Indicates how the system is to manage handling units that become empty.
Tare Weight Variable
Flags all packaging materials for this packaging material type as packaging materials with a
variable tare weight.
If a change in the total weight occurs, then the tare weight is adjusted and not the loading weight.
Use
Use this indicator if you cannot determine exactly the tare weight for packaging materials in this
packaging material type, but the weights in your materials to be packed are relatively accurate.
Example
Individually constructed crates and pallets that do not comply with any standards.

Create Condition Maintenance Group
Use
The condition maintenance group groups together condition tables and condition types for
condition maintenance.
You can assign permitted condition tables and condition types for packaging specification
determination.

Application as Condition Technique

An application is an entity that uses a usage. An application can use more than one usage to
achieve the required results.
The only aim of an application (as regards condition technique) is to specify which search
criteria should be used when determining condition records. Each application must be registered
within condition technique. Applications are not a part of the condition technique.
An example of an application within mySAP CRM could be "Sales/Service".
Usage for Condition Technique
A usage in terms of the condition technique characterizes data that is found by the condition
technique. It is indepedent of the application with which the condition technique is called.
Each usage must be registered within the condition technique. Usages are not a part of the
condition technique.
