Purpose Handling Unit Management (HUM) is used to control logistical processes.
A handling unit represents a physical object in the SAP system. It consists of a loadcarrier, one or more packed products and an unlimited quantity of packaging materials.Each handling unit has a unique identification number, which is typically printed as abarcode on a material tag.
You can specify the material and the quantity that is to be packed in certain packaging,that is, in one handling unit. These requirements are reproduced in a packing
instruction. This packing instruction can be used to create handling units automatically.
Benef i t s Automatic packaging according to packing instructions
Track movements of groups of individual materials by tracking the handling units thatcontain them
Full integration into the logistic chain

Purpose
The online split is provided with the new General Ledger Accounting.
Documents are enhanced with additional account assignment objects, oradditional postings are done which split the original postings into lines referringto the account assignment objects.
Account assignment objects can be defined according to selected dimensions. InSAP Best Practices the dimensions are profit centers and segments.
Benef i t s
The postings are done in real time (online).
It is possible to draw up complete financial statements for the selecteddimensions at any time (segment reporting).
Key Points The online split is provided with the new General Ledger Accounting.
The online split is based on segments.
The online split must be activated before the start of postings in the client.Postings done before can cause subsequent online split errors (see also note891144).
