  • Key Concepts: 
    A parent handling unit is a type of handling unit used in SAP's Digital Manufacturing Execution (MFG-DM-ME) component. It is a container that holds multiple child handling units, which are smaller containers that hold individual items. The parent handling unit is used to track the movement of multiple items at once, making it easier to manage inventory and shipments. 
    
    How to use it: 
    The parent handling unit is used to group together multiple child handling units. This allows for easier tracking of multiple items at once, as the parent handling unit can be tracked as a single entity. The parent handling unit can also be used to store information about the items it contains, such as their weight, size, and other characteristics. 
    
    Tips & Tricks: 
    When creating a parent handling unit, it is important to ensure that all of the child handling units are properly labeled and tracked. This will make it easier to keep track of the items contained within the parent handling unit. Additionally, it is important to ensure that the parent handling unit is properly secured so that it does not become damaged or lost during transit.
