Delete Handling Unit

Explanation

It is possible to delete a handling unit, once it has been created. If there are sub handling units connected to the handling unit to be deleted, it is possible to choose to delete those as well or if they should be kept but moved one level up. Note that the deleted handling unit ID will not be re-used for any new handling units. As a result of this, you will notice a gap in the handling unit sequence.

Note: When changes are made to the handling unit structure, it is important to reprint documents and labels. This will therefore ensure, correct documents and labels that include information based on the changed structure.

Prerequisites

The handling unit must have been created and may not have any inventory part in stock records or transactions referring to it.
