1. Introduction

1.1 Requirement

In SAP, normally one would use the shipment (transaction VT01, German: “Transport”) in order to put

several deliveries into one Handling Unit (“HU”). In our case, the user wants to put several deliveries

into one HU without transport. And he wants to this in any warehouse or storage location.

That leads us to the following requirement:

Put several deliveries into one Handling Unit (HU) without using shipment.

1.2 Possible solution

We know that it is possible to put several deliveries into one HU in the Extended Warehouse

Management (“EWM”) from SAP. EWM reports this back to SAP ERP using

BAPI_OUTB_DELIVERY_CONFIRM_DEC. Maybe we could use this FUNCTION to fulfill the requirement.

So we will try to put several deliveries into one Handling Unit (HU) using

BAPI_OUTB_DELIVERY_CONFIRM_DEC.

1.3 Objective of this paper

This paper has two objectives:

• Explore the possibilities of packing with the help of BAPI_OUTB_DELIVERY_CONFIRM_DEC

• Demonstrate the way how the author would handle this task



2. Prepare: Create deliveries

We create two different deliveries for different customers:

3. Put data into BAPI_OUTB_DELIVERY_CONFIRM_DEC

3.1 Testrun with delivery one

At first and most simple attempt, we start the FUNCTION BAPI_OUTB_DELIVERY_CONFIRM_DEC in

test mode:



The screen with test data is shown:

We enter the delivery number in HEADER_DATA (with leading zeros):

In HEADER_CONTROL:



in DELIVERY:



We open HANDLING_UNIT_HEADER_CROSS:

We enter the delivery number:



We enter the HU number in HDL_UNIT_EXID:

and the material number of the HU:

We run the FUNCTION:



From some reading in SDN, we think that maybe we have to set if_confirm_central to space when the

FUNCTION “WS_DELIVERY_UPDATE_2” is called. We do so in the debugger:



In RETURN, we get no error.

But the delivery has no HU. Probably we have to send a COMMIT WORK.

3.2 Program a program

So we do some programming:

*&------------------------------------------------- --------------------*

*& Report ZZ_BAPI_OUTB_DELIVERY_CONF_DEC

*&------------------------------------------------- --------------------*

REPORT ZZ_BAPI_OUTB_DELIVERY_CONF_DEC.

data HEADER_DATA like BAPIOBDLVHDRCON.

data HEADER_CONTROL like BAPIOBDLVHDRCTRLCON.

data DELIVERY like BAPIOBDLVHDRCON-DELIV_NUMB.

data HANDLING_UNIT_HEADER_CROSS type table of BAPID LVHDUNHDR.

data gs_HANDLING_UNIT_HEADER_CROSS type BAPIDLVHDUN HDR.

data RETURN type table of BAPIRET2.

parameters:

* Delivery number

p_deliv like BAPIOBDLVHDRCON-DELIV_NUMB default '00 80015271',

* External Handling Unit Identifikation

p_hunr like BAPIDLVHDUNHDR-HDL_UNIT_EXID default '6 0000000000000000000',

* Handling Unit Material Number

p_humat like BAPIDLVHDUNHDR-SHIP_MAT default '00000 0000000002387'.



* Work on clean data. Allways.

clear:

header_data,

header_control,

delivery,

gs_HANDLING_UNIT_HEADER_CROSS.

refresh:

HANDLING_UNIT_HEADER_CROSS.

* set data values

header_data-DELIV_NUMB = p_deliv.

header_control-DELIV_NUMB = p_deliv.

delivery = p_deliv.

gs_HANDLING_UNIT_HEADER_CROSS-DELIV_NUMB = p_deliv.

gs_HANDLING_UNIT_HEADER_CROSS-HDL_UNIT_EXID = p_hunr.

gs_HANDLING_UNIT_HEADER_CROSS-SHIP_MAT = p_humat.

append

gs_HANDLING_UNIT_HEADER_CROSS

to

HANDLING_UNIT_HEADER_CROSS.

* Call Function

CALL FUNCTION 'BAPI_OUTB_DELIVERY_CONFIRM_DEC'

EXPORTING

HEADER_DATA = header_data

HEADER_CONTROL = header_contr ol

DELIVERY = p_deliv

TABLES

RETURN = return

HANDLING_UNIT_HEADER_CROSS = HANDLING_UNI T_HEADER_CROSS

.

commit work.

write: 'Fertig'.



We run the program:

And our first delivery is packed:

3.3 Pack second delivery

Try to put the second delivery into the same HU:



We get a return message. We check the message in our little program using the debugger:

The message tells us that the HU already exists:



We try to tell the system again that if_confirm_central is blank:





Setting if_confirm_central to blank doesn’t help:



After some research we find that the error comes from FUNCTION V51S_FIND_HU_HEADER_DB:



We change vekp-hu_system and vekp-vpobj in the debugger:

and we have packed our second delivery:



4. Check table VEKP

When we check table VEKP, we find two HUs with the same external number:

This is not what we wanted.

5. Search for vekp-vpobj

From what we have seen so far, we think that we need to set vekp-vpobj to “21” or “23” somewhere.

5.1 Search for vekp-vpobj in BAPI_OUTB_DELIVERY_CONFIRM_DEC

At first, we look for vekp-vpobj in BAPI_OUTB_DELIVERY_CONFIRM_DEC:



Not found:

5.2 Search for vekp-vpobj in FUNCTION V51S_FIND_HU_HEADER_DB

Second, we want look for vekp-vpobj in FUNCTION V51S_FIND_HU_HEADER_DB. We go to the main

program:

Before we start the search, something hits our curiosity: The letters “XHU” in the statement “INCLUDE

/SPE/XHU_LV51SF01.”:



We double-click the include to see what is inside:

In the comment, we read: * Call control framework to check if warehouse is a EWM * -> Only in this case X-HUs are allowed

It seems like we can stop searching for vkep-vpobj. Let us check if this form is called from our

BAPI_OUTB_DELIVERY_CONFIRM_DEC.



6. Cross-HU Check

In order to find out if Form x_hu_allowed_check is also called from

BAPI_OUTB_DELIVERY_CONFIRM_DEC, we set a breakpoint in the form and run our little program

again. The check is executed:

Form: x_hu_active_check

Include: /SPE/XHU_LV51SF01

This FORM is called when we execute our program.



7. Result

In the form: x_hu_active_check it is checked if the warehouse where the Cross-HU comes from an

EWM system:

In SAP standard, several deliveries can only be packed into on HU if EWM is used.

Without EWM, several deliveries can only be packed into one HU using shipments (Transaction VT01)

in SAP standard.
