Update HU header data os existing HUs after Master Data in ERP has changed

[stefan_sl]

Hy experts,

We have the situation that master data of packaging material has been maintained not correctly and 5000+ HU (fixed boxes) are already created in EWM. The packing volume is to small etc.. so the master data in ERP is maintained. Existing HUs do not change after master data correction (which is standard of course).

Now - how can we update the HUs without deleting them? I know there is a correction possibility in https://launchpad.support.sap.com/#/notes/2333338 in the check monitor which is based on Zrecalculate_capa but this does not seem to fetch the master data and actually update it.

The report Zrecalculate_capa should do it according to a post but the note for it is not available anymore (Somebody maybe has it?).

So far I can only think of build a program which does a table update on /SCWM/HU_HDR table to correct it.

Any suggestions?

Thanks,

Stefan

Hi Stefan,

Unfortunately, there is now standard way to correct this that I am aware of. The check monitor usually does not find an issue in this case, as it might be that you have manually set the capacity data.

You can either write a short report by yourself where you read the data of the packaging materials and then update the HUs (update on /SCWM/HUHDR is definitely sufficient) or you use the deprecated report ZRECALCULATE_CAPA. The coding is linked in this blog post (Step 3.1, keyword ABAP code):

If you need anything else, just let me know.

Best regards,

Hi Jonas,

You refer to the deprecated report ZRECALCULATE_CAPA for updating existing HUs with updated packaging material volumes. Do you know if this also accounts for the 'capacity consumption' field of the packaging material? The report doesn't seem to take this field into account but I would expect otherwise, definately looking at the reports' name...
