PACKAGING SPECIFICATION IN SAP EWM
What is Packaging Specification in SAP EWM?
A packaging specification in SAP Extended Warehouse Management (EWM) is master data
that defines all packing instructions and packing levels for a product. It specifies how and in
what quantities products are to be packed into different packaging materials (boxes,
cartons, pallets) based on factors such as material type, process, or quantity.Define Number
Range for Packaging Specification.
Automated Packing: Packaging specifications automate the packing process, removing
manual steps and standardizing how SKUs are packed for warehousing and shipment.
Packing Levels: A specification can have multiple levels (for example, how many units per
box, boxes per pallet), with target quantities at each level.
Work Steps: Instructions for warehouse operators (such as labelling or stacking) can be
included.
Element Groups: Each level contains an element group. Elements consist of packaging
material and/or a work step
Integration: Used in inbound delivery, outbound delivery, packing station, slotting,
palletization, and more.

Now we are create one PO(ME21N) & inbound delivery(VL31N), then we check HU create or
not.
PO no. 4700000102
Create Inbound Delivery. VL31N
Inbound Delivery 180000455 was saved and distributed to the WMS
Now we maintained Inbound delivery -/N/SCWM/PRDI
And click the HU tab two HU are created.
Two HU created Because 400 no of Bottle for one Pallet , Our Inbound quantity is 800 .
HU7000000136, 7000000147
** The above-mentioned test case is only for inbound. In the future, we will also test for
outbound delivery. Please note, the above-mentioned test case is based on my assumption.
