Packaging material in sales order without WM in S4 HANA

[AAkash1]

Hi All,

We are using S4 HANA with materials managed in Storage locations (No WM / EWM).

My question is that the packaging material is decided later , depending upon the material which is going to be packed. Do we need to add packaging material already in the sales order or it can be added later in the outbound delivery?

You don't need to include the packaging material already on the sales order. It can be determined automaticaly on the delivery. On the delivery type you can activate settings "Automatic packing" and "Gen. pack.matl item". Item category determination will be done using PACK item usage.

In case you use item category group VERP the packaging material will be billing relevant (DLN item cat), in case you use LEIH it will be returnable packaging (TAL item cat).
