I manufacture parts that re then stored on a pallet, or in IFS speak, a Handling Unit.  But when I go to ship the items on a shipment, it appears that I need a master or parent handling unit  before I can attach the handling unit line items to the shipment handling unit structure.  Why cannot I just reference the handling units of the parts to the shipment. For example, I may have part 22047 in 2 different handling units (603 and 604).  When I create a shipment, its forcing me to add a “parent” handling unit (“Truck”) so I can then attach handling units 603 and 604.

 

It seems and unnecessary step that I have to add already created handling units to a master handling unit on a shipment.

Perhaps I have misunderstood the scenario. However, if you reserve all the material in the the handling units (603 and 604) to a lines connected to the shipment, then they will appear on the shipment when you pick the handling unit.
