Handling Unit Management

A handling unit is a physical unit consisting of packaging materials (load carriers/packing material) and the goods contained on/in it. A handling unit is always a combination of products and packaging materials. All the information contained in the product items (for example, about batches) is retained in the handling units and is always available. 

This scope item sets up packaging in delivery. Because it only includes the steps for packaging, it requires a standard process scope item to work with.
