GI Processing with Reference to Outbound Delivery

Purpose

Goods issue for an outbound delivery in the Warehouse Management system (WMS) includes pickingand goods issue posting for a material to be delivered, based on the outbound delivery. If you mapthe goods issue process via an outbound delivery, you can execute the processes related to thegoods issue within the warehouse (picking, stock removal) before you trigger the actual goods issueposting. 

You can also use lean WM for goods issue for an outbound delivery. 

Goods Issue for an Outbound Delivery Using WMS or Lean WM

Prerequisites

You have activated the interface between Shipping and the WMS in the Customizing for Warehouse

Management under Interfaces  Shipping. 

You have created outbound deliveries or scheduling agreements in SAP Shipping (LE-SHP) based onsales orders. The outbound deliveries serve as reference documents for the picking processes to beperformed in the WMS.

The material to be picked is stored in a WM-managed storage location.

You have defined a picking strategy in the Customizing for Warehouse

Management under Strategies  Picking Strategies.

1. You create the outbound delivery for a sales order or for another preceding document.

The system recognizes at outbound delivery item level which items are relevant for stock

removal with the WMS. It sets the WM activity status in the outbound delivery to A (relevant to

Warehouse Management). 

For more information, see  Creating Outbound Deliveries. 

2. You create the transfer order for the outbound delivery for picking from your warehouse.

You can create the transfer orders directly or let the system create them automatically. For 

more information, see Creating Transfer Orders. 

You can create several transfer orders per outbound delivery if you have activated thetransfer order split in the Customizing for Warehouse Management. For more information,

see Activities  Transfers  Processing Performance Data/TO Split in the WarehouseManagement section of the Implementation Guide. 

3. You can take into account batch information when creating transfer orders for picking.

For more information, see Batch Management. 

If the batches to be picked are not defined in the outbound delivery, and if you want to pickmore than one batch to be able to cover the required quantity, you must confirm thesebatches to the outbound delivery. In doing so, you create a new outbound delivery item for each batch.

4. The system sets the WM Activity status to B, which means that a transfer order has beencreated but not confirmed.

5. A print out of the TO serves as a picking document when removing goods from the sourcestorage bin that has been determined, to the goods issue interim storage area.

You can find more information on printing TOs under  Printing Transfer Orders and Labels. 

6.  By confirming the transfer order , you confirm that the goods have been brought to the goodsissue interim storage area. 

In doing so, you record any stock differences between the required quantity and the pickedquantity. 

7. Post the goods issue for the outbound delivery.
