A packaging speci cation is master data. The packaging speci cation de nes all the necessary packing levels
for a product for example to put away or transport the product. For a product, a packaging speci cation mainly
describes in which quantities you can pack the product into which packaging materials
Use
In printed form, a packaging speci cation is a set of instructions for the employee in the warehouse. More
speci cally, the work steps that you enter in a packaging speci cation are intended as information for the
employee. for example, give the employee exact instructions as to where to place the label on a box, or how a
product should be stacked onto a pallet. The system can determine packaging speci cations during various
processes. Processes that determine packaging speci cations use only speci c attributes from the packaging
speci cation.
Maintain structure of packaging speci cations starts with header, contents, Level type, element type, level set,
de ne work step, and de ne packing material type. In order to understand structure of pack spec see below

Header
Attributes such as the name of the packaging speci cation, username, status, and so on.
Contents
A packaging speci cation contains a product. However, some packaging speci cations contain more than one
product, or refer to other packaging speci cations.
Level
A packaging speci cation contains one or more levels. Each level contains a target quantity, which de nes how
many times you can pack the previous level into this level.
Element group
For each level there is exactly one element group. However, you can reuse element groups in several packaging
speci cations.
Elements
Elements consist of a packaging material and a work step.
Step
A text with an identi cation, which you can use in one or more packaging speci cations.
Packaging material
A product that is de ned with a packaging material type in the product master.
Example for a packaging speci cation and its structure
Header: Name: Pack Spec X
Contents: product X, 1 Each
Level 1: Target quantity one, element group EG1
Element group EG1:
Element E1: packaging material ‘Carton box’, work step ‘Place 1 Each upright in each box’
Level 2: Target quantity 100, element group EG2
Element group EG2:
Element E2: packaging material ‘Pallet’, work step ‘Place boxes layer by layer onto pallet’
packaging speci cations can be created, copied, activated and determined using condition technique
the following are the con guration steps for packaging speci cation in embedded EWM
De ne number range for packaging speci cations
De ne packaging speci cation group
Maintain structure of packaging material
De ne level type
De ne element type
De ne level set
Assign level set to level types
Assign element type to this level type
De ne work step type
Assign packaging material to element type
Assign work step type to packaging material type
Now, assign or maintain the level set in packaging speci cation group
Now, in SAP easy access maintain one packaging work step and one level element group
Maintain packaging work step (T.Code : /N/SCWM/PSWORKSTEP)
Maintain level element group (T.Code : /N/SCWM/PSEG)
Create or maintain packaging speci cation ( T.Code : /N/SCWM/PACKSPEC )
enter packaging speci cation group, one packaging speci cation number will be generated from the number
range maintained for pack spec
Maintain product and quantity for which pack spec need to be created
Main level type and element type along with packaging material and work step
Maintain condition record and activate the packaging speci cation
Now one packaging speci cation with number 10000056 is activated for material TEST-MAT-1
TEST CASE ON PACKAGING SPECIFICATION
When the inbound delivery gets distributed from S/4 HANA system into embedded EWM. EWM system should
create handling unit for inbound delivery items that are maintained with packaging speci cation in EWM
Create one inbound delivery for material TEST-MAT-1 of 1 quantity for corresponding plant, storage location in
S/4 HANA system and save it. The inbound delivery will be distributed into embedded EWM system
Now, enter T.CODE : ( /N/SCWM/PRDI ) enter the ERP document number and execute it
go to item level of the document. pack status is completed for 1 quantity i.e EWM system is auto handling
packing the incoming stock or material due to packaging speci cation
at item level of the document click on HU. handling unit number 8000008030 created by the system from
number range maintained for packaging material carton box.
Next create handling unit warehouse tasks and do the putaway of handling unit into the storage bin or else if the
material is relevant to POSC execute individual steps
Conclusion :
packaging speci cation are the master data in EWM which consists of header, content, level, element group,
element type, element, work step and packaging material.
packaging speci cation are used to create handling units by system for the incoming material into the
warehouse
