Hi Mahesh,

You may see this fields in the Item details of the delivery item under the Picking tab.

Gross weight would be calculated by multiplying the delivery quantity by the gross weight per unit field from the material master (You may find the gross weight field under Dimensions/EANs in the Basic data tab)

Same for Net weight. It is calculated by multiplying the delivery quantity by the Net weight per unit field from the material master.

Gross weight usually represents the net weight plus the weight of the packaging. It is determined by the Product data management team and updated accordingly.

Hope this makes sense..

regards,

Pls award points if useful

Hi,

Gross Weight

The system can use the gross weight at a later stage, depending on what kind of capacity check you run, to check storage bin capacity for warehouse management purposes.

The system calculates the gross weight of each item by multiplying the delivery quantity by the gross weight per unit that comes from the sales order. If there is no related sales order, the system uses the gross weight from the material master record. You can change the gross weight manually in the delivery document.

Net weight

The total net weight of all items in the delivery.

Use

The system calculates the net weight of each item by multiplying the delivery quantity by the net weight per unit that comes from the sales order. If there is no related sales order, the system uses the net weight from the material master record.

Gross Weight & Net Weight can be maintained in material master, which will default in Salaes order, based on material.

Gross weight will refer to weight after pachaging of material & Net weight will refer to the actual weight of the material. This may be required incase of delivery.

In Sales order, you can check these fields at item level on Shipping Tab Page.

In case of the batch split, its net weight and gross weight need to be multiply the delivery quantity by the gross weight per unit that comes from the sales order?

If its net weight and gross weight is not equal to multiplying the delivery quantity by the gross weight per unit that comes from the sales order, what can it occur from?

Thank you in advance.

Dear Mahesh,

Gross weight expressed in the unit of weight specified by you in the

Unit of weight field.

The system can use the gross weight at a later stage, depending on what

kind of capacity check you run, to check storage bin capacity for

warehouse management purposes.

Net weight expressed in the unit of weight specified by you in the Unit

of weight field.

This two will appear in material master ->basic data->dimensions/Eans

here gross weight and net weight volume will appear this all feilds data will come default in sales order.ther is no feilds to maintain in sales order.

if you want see this in through sales order go to VA01 adn double click on material feild it will direct to you material master.

Hope this helps you

Prem.

Hi Mahesh

In Basic Data 1, we will maintain these details.

Net weight is the exact weight per piece of the material and gross weight is net weight plus weight of the packing material.

To give you an example, supposing I am selling product A and its net weight is 2kgs. For packing this material, we need a carton box which weighs 500 gms.

Let us assume 10 pieces of Product A will accommodate in one carton box. Now the gross weight would be total pieces in one box multiplied by weight per piece and add the box weight. This means 10 x 2 + 0.5 = 20.50 kgs and gross weight per piece would be 2.05 kgs

Thanks
