How can I manually update the Handling Unit height during shipment and have the operative volume recalculate automatically when goods exceed the HU height?

Hello Community,

During the shipment process in IFS Cloud,  a client sometimes pack goods that exceed the standard height defined for the Handling Unit Type. We can manually adjust the height of the handling unit in the shipment’s Handling Unit Structure, but the operative volume does not update automatically based on the new height.

Is there a standard way in IFS Cloud to ensure that when I manually update the HU height (or when the packed goods exceed the defined height), the operative volume recalculates automatically?
If not, is there an intended setup, configuration (e.g., additive volume), or recommended workaround (event action, customization, or integration approach) to achieve this?

Or will this be updated in the coming releases? Do we have this on the pipeline for future releases?

Thanks in advance!
