Cartonization Planning – LWH not determine – Standard Algorithm – SAP EWM (Embedded)

[Former Member]

We are using standard CAP Algorithm: SAP1, Algorithm sequence: SAP, Algorithm profile: SAPC

As per my requirement in the customization I have indicated dimension check, so, If you select this checkbox, (Screen1) the Cartonizaton Planning algorithm checks the dimensions (length, weight, and height) of outbound delivery order items against the packaging materials for the creation of Planned Shipment HU's (PSHUs).

But while running the CAP for OBD (Cartonization Planning for Outbound Delivery Orders or Wave), the system is considering only Maximum Volume not considering LWH of the Product and BOX, which I have mentioned in Packaging specification. (Screen 2)

Screen-1

Algorithm Profile determination from packaging specification- 0CAP

CASE - 1

/SCWM/PRDO

--> Delivery quantity - 50

Planning result - /SCWM/CAPDLV

Total volume of the delivery quantity showing in result

PSHU – Created for based on volume. Why system not considering Dimension Check and if Product fit to box?

Quantity proposed for 45 Quantity in one box and 5 quantity in another box based on maximum volume set up in PS. So, it is not considering LWH. (Even the settings is already done - Ref : screen 1)

Negative Case 2:

If I use product size is bigger than box size, then system is throwing the error with LWH .(it is considering LWH)

Please support me – if i am missing any customization or master data settings

Thanks !!

3068114 - Cartonization does not work with nesting of products

The Cartonization algorithm for minimising the number of HUs does not work for the following scenarios:

1. Nesting of products and HUs. The algorithm will only pack with weight and volume of individual products. checking of stacking factor and nesting volume is not supported as part of standard packing functionality.

2. Capacity of packing: The algorithm will only consider maximum volume and not the actual length, width and height calculation. Only the "dimensionless" capacity will be used for calculation. The "dimension check" flag is only used to check whether the packaging specification that is selected, is larger than the dimenstion of product that is selected.

The standard SAP algorithm is a simple heuristic one. At this point it cannot be enhanced to fit further requirements. If customers require an optimization of the result of this algorithm, they will have to create a custom implementation of the BADI /SCWM/EX_CAP_ALGORITHM
