A handling unit is a physical unit consisting of packaging materials (load carriers/packing material) and the goods contained on/in it. A handling unit is always a combination of products and packaging materials. All the information contained in the product items, for example, about batches, is retained in the handling units and is always available.
Handling units can be nested, and you can create a new handling unit from several other handling units.
A handling unit has a unique, scannable identification number that you can construct according to industry standards such as EAN 128 or SSCC.
