Determine Higher-Level HU by default

[durayda]

Expected business scenario: Lower-level HUs (Cartons) should always be placed automatically on the highest-level HU (Pallet) when available.

Let's consider the following storage bin, which contains 1 Pallet with 3 Cartons on it, all containing the same products inside the cartons:

Now, I create a warehouse task to move a carton with the same product from storage bin 1080-01-01-01 to 1080-01-01-02. After confirming the task, the system keeps the same Destination HU number from the Source HU (Carton) instead of using the available Higher-Level HU (Pallet).

In the SPRO activity "Define Storage Types," I believed that setting the Putaway Control option Level: Add. to Stock to value H (Addition to Stock at Highest HU Level) would solve my issue, but it did not. Does anyone happen to know how I can achieve the expected business scenario?

In the meantime I found out that the expection code 'Change Destination HU (CHHU)' can be used in order to specify the correct Higher-Level HU at warehouse task confirmation.

Can anyone confirm that this is really the standard way of working?
