Example:  
You created a order for a material(R-1160 - hard disks) for a qty - 120 pieces. 

You need to create a delivery and  
A)pack 40 pieces each of the material are grouped together into larger cardboard boxes (PK-100 - shipping/packing material) and  
B)these 3 cardboard boxes are put into pallet (PK-095).

Solution: 
A)Packing 40 pieces each of material (40 x 3 = 120 pieces)

1)Goto [VL02N] to change the delivery, you already created.  
Or you can do the following steps while you are creating a delivery also. 
2)Go to "pack" icon. 
3)In the upper section, enter the "packing material" (PK-100) 
4)In the lower section, change the "partial quantity" to 40 of material R-1160.

Basic Process of how Packing Works


Let's say you want to pack a material shirt_jai in test_pack.

Using MM01, create material type=packaging  test_pack

[SPRO] 
IMG-Logistics Execution-Shipping-Packing- 
Define Packaging Material Types 
Let's say JPAC. The settings that I chose: 
Plant determ. - Plant is entered manually in handling unit 
Pack. matl. cat. - Packaging materials 
Generate Dlv. Items - blank 
Number assignment - Number range interval 'HU_VEKP' 
 

IMG-Logistics Execution-Shipping-Packing- 
Define material group for packaging material 
Let's say JGRP

IMG-Logistics Execution-Shipping-Packing- 
Define allowed packaging materials 
JGRP - JPAC 
 

MM02: Check settings for the materials 
First, test_pack

Sales:General/Plant -> Matl. Grp. Pack. Matls: JGRP (Note) 
Sales:General/Plant -> Packaging Mat. Type:  JPAC (Note) 
Basic Data 1 -> Material: JMAT 

Then, shirt_jai

Sales:General/Plant -> Matl. Grp. Pack. Matls: JGRP 
Sales:General/Plant -> Packaging Mat. Type: - 
Basic Data 1 -> Material: JMAT 
 

VL01N Outbound Delivery -> Packing  
Enter the materials at top and at bottom  
(Select shirt_jai and 
Edit - Pack)

This is how the basic process of packing works.
