3575878 - Issue with Packing Inbound Delivery Using Handling Unit API in SAP S/4HANA Cloud Public Edition

Symptom

  1. An inbound delivery is created for packing.
  2. The Handling Unit API is used to create handling unit with reference to the inbound delivery.
  3. The Handling Unit is created but the reference document is not set.

Environment

SAP S/4HANA Cloud Public Edition

Cause

  • The Handling Unit API can only create standalone handling units without reference documents.
  • Inbound Delivery OData API does not support creating or assigning handling units.

Resolution

As a workaround, consider using the Deliveryrequest_in API. This API is intended for supplier to customer integration, but it might be useful depending on the specific use case. 

The values for batch-managed materials and handling units in an inbound delivery created with the API "Inbound Delivery – Create (B2B)" do not always reflect the corresponding values and structures specified in the payload, or in some cases with batch-managed materials and handling units, the inbound delivery cannot be created using this API. For more details, refer to the KBA 3546523 - Using the API "Inbound Delivery – Create (B2B)" with batches and handling units - SAP S/4HANA Cloud Public Edition 2408 and higher. 

If the SOAP above is not fitting for the use case, consider creating a customer influence request for it. Refer to: 2963059 - How to Submit Feature Requests for SAP S/4HANA Cloud Product
