  Key Concepts: 
  A cross-delivery handling unit (CDHU) is a type of handling unit used in SAP Extended Warehouse Management (EWM). It is a container that holds multiple items from different delivery orders, allowing them to be handled as a single unit. This helps to reduce the amount of time and effort needed to process multiple orders. 
  
  How to use it: 
  CDHUs are created in EWM when multiple delivery orders are combined into one handling unit. This can be done manually or automatically, depending on the settings in the system. Once the CDHU is created, it can be moved around the warehouse and processed as a single unit. 
  
  Tips & Tricks: 
  When creating CDHUs, it is important to ensure that all items in the handling unit are compatible with each other. This will help to reduce the risk of damage or delays during processing. Additionally, it is important to keep track of the items in each CDHU so that they can be easily identified and separated if needed.
