Package part - Reservation method and HU issue

Hi,

Not sure I have fully understood everything you have written, however I try to reply anyway.

Do you mean that you cannot do manual reservation from the Lines tab in the Customer Order page for the Package Part? This is because the Package Part is not an inventory Part. In the Lines tab you can click Line/Details and then Package Part Structure. Then you will see all the components and in this page you can do manual reservation of the components.

Regarding packing into Handling Units in Shipment, currently the package part is attached to the Handling Unit. As this is not an inventory part we cannot see it in Handling Units in Shipment Inventory page. We are currently looking at introducing a new packing approach in shipment for Package Part. It should be possible to pack the components of a package part instead of multiples of the the package part. Then Handling Unit(s) with components as inventory parts will be shown in shipment inventory as well. Our goal is to include this in the 23R2 release of IFS Cloud. Not sure if this is what you are asking for?

Best Regards

Hi @Fredrik Johansson LKP

Thanks for your answer.

You catch the idea of the situations I was describing. Happy to hear that a resolution is in the works. Looking forward to the 23R2 IFS Cloud release.

Hi @Fredrik Johansson LKP ,

on APPS10 what you described will not be possible?

Thanks,

Joao

Hi,

Packing of components of a package part in the shipment will be added as a new feature in IFS Cloud 23R2. As all new features in IFS Cloud it will not be down ported to APPS10.

I have a similar issue here so can I ask for confirmation on what I should expect to see? We are on Cloud 23r1 currently (getting ready to go live). You mentioned something in your response above: “Regarding packing into Handling Units in Shipment, currently the package part is attached to the Handling Unit.”. We do have the handling unit/capacity set up for the package part. There are also records for the handling unit/capacity on the component parts as we sell them individually (hence the package part). So I have a shipment with one line for the package part, qty of 1. I’ve picked it and now am trying to “Pack According to Handling Unit Capacity” on the shipment. I don’t receive any error or anything doing this but when I go to the Shipment Handling Unit Structure from the shipment there are no handling units and nothing available there. I was expecting to see the one pallet that is set up for the package part. Is there a way to properly pack this in our current release? Any advice/guidance would be greatly appreciated as we have a rather large number of package parts with significant volumes.

Regards,

Karl

Hi,

The new logic to choose to pack the components in shipment is available from 23R2. In 23R1 it is only possible to pack the package part. I think it should be possible to pack the package parts manually or using handling unit capacity or packing instruction. The components are not possible to pack at all in the shipment this is what is solved in 23R2.

Thank you Fredrik. I’m not looking to pack the components, just the package part based on the handling unit capacity. We have that set up for the package part but are not getting any results when trying to pack using handling unit capacity. That is my issue here, it does not seem to be functioning as expected or as you mentioned in your response.

Hi @Fredrik Johansson LKP,

My customer is running on 23R2 (23.2.6), but I don't see the option to pack components in the shipment. The way I would like to run it is as follows:

I have a package part consisting of 2 components:

• 1 configured part - sourced with a DOP order. When receiving this part it will be packed into a handling unit.
• 1 part - sourced with a shop order, this shop order is used to pack the remaining parts (e.g. spare parts) into a handling unit. We use the shop order to gather the products that must be delivered additionaly.

Sales normally only sells the configured part, but logistically it's always the product plus an additional package.

After completion of the DOP and shop order the customer order line is completely reserved and when creating the pick list I get 2 lines with handling units. Which is perfect. The pick list is created from the shipment header.

But after picking the handling units do not show up in the shipment handling unit structure.

It is my assumption that this should work, is that correct?

Hi,

You are taking entering a package part on the customer order line and then you would like to pack the components in the shipment? I get a bit confused when you write “Sales normally only sells the configured part, but logistically it's always the product plus an additional package.” For this solution to work you are selling the Package Part. It is enabled on the package part:

When the toggle is enabled the handling unit woith the package component picked from inventory should appear in the shipment.

@Fredrik Johansson LKP, you can ignore the last comment. I overlooked the ‘pack components in shipment’ checkbox on package part.

After enabling this, it does exactly what I want.
