SAP Note 1081145 - Deleting empty handling units that are not used

Component : Basic Functions -

Summary :
Handling units (HUs) that lack content and remain unused pose a storage management challenge, as the current SAP system does not automatically provide an option to select and delete them. The solution involves a report (ZEMPTY_HU_DELETE) which, when implemented, facilitates the deletion of empty HUs based on specific storage types or complete warehouse numbers. This report can manage HUs regardless of whether their packaging material type allows auto-deletion. Users can extend this report's selection criteria as needed. The system prompts for deletion confirmation and displays identifiers for undeleted empty HUs. The report's setup requires uploading through SAP's ABAP Editor.
