• Key Concepts: 
  Nesting of HUs is a process in SAP Logistics Execution (LE) that allows for the packing of one Handling Unit (HU) into another. This is done to optimize the storage and transportation of goods, as it reduces the number of HUs needed to transport a certain amount of goods. It also helps to reduce the amount of space needed for storage. 
  
  How to use it: 
  In order to nest HUs, you must first create a parent HU and then assign it to a material document. Then, you can create child HUs and assign them to the same material document. The child HUs will then be nested within the parent HU. You can also assign additional attributes such as weight, volume, and dimensions to each HU. 
  
  Tips & Tricks: 
  When nesting HUs, it is important to ensure that the parent HU is large enough to accommodate all of the child HUs. Additionally, it is important to ensure that all of the attributes assigned to each HU are accurate in order to ensure that the goods are properly stored and transported.
