1 Goods Issue

PurposeA goods issue from Extended Warehouse Management (EWM) is a physical departure of products from your warehouse. With a goods issue posting, you reducethe stock in the warehouse. You can use a goods issue to indicate goods deliveries to your customers.

A warehouse request goods issue allows you to display your complex stock removal process steps and includes the following functions:● Storage Bin Determination for Stock Removal● Stock Removal● Packing● Loading

When you display the goods issue process using a warehouse request, you can execute the warehouse-internal processes that precede the actual goods issue,such as picking or packing, within the warehouse before you trigger the actual goods issue posting.

The goods issue takes into account your warehouse arrangements, such as stock removal using pick points from a high rack storage area, as well as theprocess-oriented rules and procedures defined by you, such as packing during warehouse task confirmation. To simplify the search for appropriate stock, EWMoffers you stock removal strategies.

You can remove your products from stock either directly or by using storage control.

You can only execute complex stock removal processes by using handling units.

You can use the warehouse request to automatically trigger the goods issue processing. To do this, you use the warehouse task as the main document uponwhich you display all goods movements in EWM.

For more information, see Warehouse Request for Inbound Delivery or Outbound Delivery Order.

Prerequisites● The data for the warehouse request for outbound delivery in EWM is complete.● You have defined the following basic settings in Customizing for EWM:

For examples of basic settings, see Goods Receipt under Prerequisites.● The warehouse request is relevant for picking.● You have defined a stock removal strategy in Customizing for EWM under Goods Issue Process ® Strategies ® Define Stock Removal Strategy .● You have defined a stock removal control indicator in Customizing for EWM under Goods Issue Process ® Strategies ® Define Stock Removal Control

Indicator .

Process 1. EWM receives a goods issue request from another system, for example an SAP system. 2. EWM creates a warehouse request for an outbound delivery order, which is the starting point for the goods issue.

EWM recognizes, on the item level of the warehouse request, which delivery items are relevant for stock removal with EWM.

For more information, see Creation of Warehouse Requests for Inbound Delivery or Outbound Delivery Order.The availability check for the goods issue takes place on the level of the prestored components. EWM does not carry out an independent availability check,but instead assumes a purely executional function.

3. You create a warehouse request for the warehouse request for picking from your warehouse.When you create a warehouse task, the system creates corresponding warehouse orders. These warehouse orders group the warehouse tasks in accordancewith the rules defined in Customizing. This means that you receive individual work packages that a worker is to carry out at a certain time (see WarehouseOrder Creation).

○ You can create the warehouse task directly or let EWM create it automatically.EWM can create warehouse tasks in the following manner:

■ By default, directly through the release of a wave■ Automatically, using a Post Processing Framework (PPF) action

○ You can create the warehouse tasks manually.

For more information, see Creation of Warehouse Tasks for Warehouse Request, Creation of Warehouse Tasks for Stock Removal, or WaveManagement.

○ You can take into account batch information when creating warehouse tasks for picking.If you have not determined the batches to be picked in the warehouse request, and you want to pick one or more batches to cover the required quantitycompletely, you must verify these batches to the outbound delivery. In doing so, you create a new warehouse request item for each batch.

4. You either print the warehouse request with the warehouse tasks as a list, or you print all individual documents at once. If you remove the goods from thedetermined source storage bins to the goods issue interface, you can use this printout as the picking document.

For more information, see Printing Warehouse Orders and Warehouse Tasks. 5. Once you have completed the picking, you confirm the warehouse tasks. 6. You carry out further goods issue activities, such as packing or loading. 7. For each goods issue activity, EWM creates a separate warehouse task, which you confirm after you have completed the physical activity.

With this confirmation, you confirm that you have brought the goods to the goods issue interface.This records any stock differences between the required and the picked quantity.

For more information, see Handling Differences When Picking for Warehouse Request. 8. You then post the goods issue for the warehouse request.EWM updates the activity status when a step of the warehouse task processing has been completed. You can inform yourself about the outbound delivery statusduring the entire goods issue process.

For more information, see Creation of Warehouse Tasks for Warehouse Request.

Using Storage Control

For more information about goods issue processes using storage control, see Storage Control, Layout-Oriented Storage Control, or Process-Oriented Storage Control.

ResultsEWM reduces the storage bin stock in the source storage bin by the picked product quantity and posts this quantity to the destination storage bin.

1.1 Stock Removal

PurposeThe stock removal process includes the picking of goods from storage bins in the warehouse and preparing them at the destination storage bin. If you useExtended Warehouse Management (EWM) for warehouse management, create a warehouse task for all stock movements. You use stock removal transfer ordersto execute stock removals. EWM groups stock removal warehouse tasks to warehouse orders. You use the printed warehouse order as a pick list for the stockremoval.

EWM contains stock removal strategies to simplify your search for the correct product to be removed from stock. According to the stock removal strategy, EWMselects the storage type and exact storage bin from which you can pick the product that is to be removed from stock.

Regardless of how you organize stock removals in your company, you can configure EWM in such a way that the stock removal activities are performed in one ofthe following ways:

● If EWM creates a warehouse request: automatically, using a Post Processing Framework action.● Regularly at set times, using the automatic wave scheduling.

For more information, see Automatic Wave Assignment.

Process 1. The warehouse request is a request for EWM to remove goods from stock.

For more information, see Warehouse Request for Inbound Delivery or Outbound Delivery Order.When EWM creates a warehouse request, you can trigger the picking of goods in EWM automatically. In so doing, EWM creates one or more warehouse taskitems for each item in the warehouse request.EWM automatically transfers the information concerning the picking status to the warehouse order. You then have access to the current data concerning theprocessing status in the warehouse.

2. You create a warehouse task for the warehouse request. 3. You use a printed warehouse request as the pick list.

The warehouse request contains the corresponding warehouse tasks. 4. You confirm the warehouse task. In so doing, you confirm in EWM that the physical removal of goods is concluded. The product that is to be removed from

stock is then found at the destination storage bin defined in the warehouse task.At the same time, EWM transfers the picked quantity directly to the corresponding items in the warehouse request.In addition, EWM reduces the storage bin stock in the source storage bin by the picked product quantity and posts this quantity to the destination storage bin.

ExampleThe following graphic clarifies the process of stock removal from the EWM-managed warehouse using a warehouse request:

PUBLIC© 2014 SAP SE or an SAP affiliate company. All rights reserved.

Page 4 of 28

To remove the product from stock, you create a warehouse task for a warehouse request to the outbound delivery order. EWM can thus create more than onewarehouse task from one item in the warehouse request. This is the case, for example, if you have to pick the product for item 2 of the warehouse request fromthree different source storage bins to remove the product quantity specified in the warehouse request. Item 2 of the warehouse request results in the threewarehouse tasks 2, 3, and 4. You use warehouse tasks 2 and 3 to move the products from storage type 1 to the goods issue zone, and you use warehouse task 4to move products from storage type 2 to the goods issue zone.

Creation of Warehouse Tasks for Stock Removal

UseExtended Warehouse Management ( EWM ) creates warehouse tasks for stock removal based on a warehouse request for outbound delivery request, so that you

can remove products from stock.

EWM uses a warehouse task to specify the following for the stock removal:· The source storage types, sections, and bins· The path to the destination storage type

PrerequisitesIf you want EWM to automatically group warehouse tasks into warehouse orders, you must have made the settings in Customizing for warehouse order creation.

In the Implementation Guide (IMG) for SAP Supply Chain Management ( SAP SCM ), choose Extended Warehouse Management ® Cross-Process Settings® Warehouse Order.

Features· EWM can create warehouse tasks for an outbound delivery in the following ways:

¡ As default, EWM creates warehouse tasks for an outbound delivery when you or EWM release a wave.¡ EWM automatically creates warehouse tasks for an outbound delivery, using an action from the Post Processing Framework ( PPF ).¡ You create the warehouse tasks manually.

· When EWM creates a warehouse task for a warehouse request, it uses stock removal strategies to determine the storage bin. For more information, seeStorage Bin Determination for Stock Removal.

· When EWM creates a warehouse task, it uses direct or combined storage control to determine whether you should remove a handling unit from stock directlyor by using interim storage bins.The warehouse task reflects the direct or combined storage control.

· EWM automatically groups warehouse tasks according to your Customizing settings for warehouse orders. For more information, see Warehouse OrderCreation.

· EWM uses layout-oriented and process-oriented storage control, according to your Customizing settings. For more information, see Process-Oriented StorageControl and Layout-Oriented Storage Control.

· In the warehouse task, EWM specifies various activities for you to perform (for example, packing) according to your Customizing settings.

Activities· If you have made settings in Customizing for PPF for the PPF action to create warehouse tasks for stock removal, EWM automatically creates the

warehouse task for stock removal.In the Implementation Guide (IMG) for SAP Supply Chain Management , choose Extended Warehouse Management ® Cross-Process Settings ®Delivery Processing ® Actions ® Use Assistant to Create Actions .

PUBLIC© 2014 SAP SE or an SAP affiliate company. All rights reserved.

Page 5 of 28

Delivery Processing ® Actions ® Use Assistant to Create Actions .· By default, you or EWM create warehouse tasks by releasing a wave.

After a wave is generated, it can be released immediately, either automatically or manually depending on the release methods you have defined for the waveor wave template. For more information, see Processing Posting Changes.

· If you want to create a warehouse task manually, on the SAP Easy Access screen, choose Extended Warehouse Management ® Work Scheduling ®Create Warehouse Task for Warehouse Request ® Stock Removal for Inbound Delivery.

· If you create warehouse tasks for a delivery for loading, and then want to post the goods issue, on the SAP Easy Access screen, choose ExtendedWarehouse Management ® Shipping and Receiving ® Load .

· When EWM creates a warehouse request warehouse task for an outbound delivery request, it simultaneously updates this warehouse request. EWM carriesout this update by updating the quantity in the document flow. If the quantity update leads to a change in status, EWM updates this change in the warehouserequest as well.

You have an outbound delivery of 100 pieces of a product. EWM automatically creates three warehouse tasks (WT1, WT2, and WT3) for theentire quantity, based on the stock determination.Following creation of the warehouse tasks, the warehouse request status Picking Planning changes to Completed .If EWM does not create warehouse tasks for the entire quantity, the Picking Planning status is set to Partially Completed .The following table provides an overview of the Picking Planning status in the warehouse request.

Goods Issue ProcessProduct Description

Delivery Item Warehouse Task Warehouse Request Status PickingPlanning

P-01 10 WT1 for 10 pieces Partially Completed

P-01 20 WT2 for 30 pieces Partially Completed

P-01 30 WT3 for 60 pieces Completed

1.1.2 Stock Removal Path Determination

UseYou can use this function to specify a stock removal path for each activity in the activity area. When Extended Warehouse Management (EWM) creates awarehouse request (WT), it specifies this stock removal path. During definition of stock removal paths, you can assign more than one stock removal path, or youcan allow activity areas to overlap. However, only one stock removal path is active for each WT.

IntegrationSpecification of the stock removal path is integrated into WT processing, which means that EWM sorts the WTs according to the stock removal path.

Prerequisites· You have defined the storage bin types, descriptions, and structure.

In Customizing for SAP Supply Chain Management , choose Master Data ® Storage Bins .· You have defined activity areas and categories, have assigned storage bins to the activity areas, and have specified the sorting sequence of the activity

areas.In Customizing for SAP Supply Chain Management , choose Master Data ® Activity Areas .

· You have assigned an activity to a warehouse process type.In Customizing for SAP Supply Chain Management , choose Cross-Process Settings ® Warehouse Task ® Define Warehouse Process Type .

FeaturesIf EWM has grouped several WTs into a warehouse order, then it sorts the WTs based on the warehouse order. This is regardless of which products or HUs are onthe storage bins.

If you use radio frequency devices, you can skip a source storage bin proposed by EWM. EWM places this source storage bin at the end of the RF display.

You cannot gain access to a source storage bin because a colleague is currently removing products from it. You skip the source storage binproposed by EWM and process the next one.

ActivitiesFor your stock removal, you or EWM create the necessary WTs for the warehouse request for the outbound delivery order. In so doing, EWM determines the stock

removal path according to your settings in Customizing and saves this information in the WT. On the radio frequency device, EWM shows the destination storagebins in this predefined sequence.

!--a11y-->

1.1.3 Picking

PurposeYou can use picking to remove goods from your warehouse for a warehouse request for outbound delivery order.

EWM creates the corresponding warehouse tasks for the warehouse request and assigns them to one or more warehouse orders. You can use the warehouseorder as the pick list.

Process 1. You or EWM create the warehouse tasks for the outbound delivery. In doing so, EWM uses stock determination to find the required stock.

For more information, see Creation of Warehouse Tasks for Stock Removal or Storage Bin Determination for Stock Removal. 2. EWM allocates the individual warehouse tasks to a warehouse order and thus builds work packages for the individual warehouse workers. It thereby

determines the stock removal path.For more information, see Warehouse Order Creation and Stock Removal Path Determination.

3. You can process and confirm the warehouse task as follows: a. You can print the individual warehouse order and process it. You can also process the warehouse orders using radio frequency devices.

For more information, see Printing Warehouse Orders and Warehouse Tasks and Processing Using Radio Frequency. b. You can pack products during the picking process.

For more information, see Pick and Pack During Picking. c. You can carry out a partial picking or a complete picking.

For more information, see Partial Picking. d. You can enter differences that arise during picking.

For more information, see Handling Differences When Picking for Warehouse Request.

ResultEWM has created the corresponding warehouse tasks for the warehouse request for an outbound delivery order. You have removed the products from yourwarehouse, transferred them to the goods issue zone or packing station, for example, and confirmed the associated warehouse tasks.

!--a11y-->

1.1.3.1 Pick and Pack During Picking

UseYou can generate pick handling units (pick HUs) into which you can pack products during picking. Extended Warehouse Management (EWM) assigns the pickHU to a warehouse task. You or EWM transfer the pick HUs to the delivery. You thus do not need to execute any further packing for the delivery.

Prerequisites· You have created a product that is a packaging material.

On the SAP Easy Access screen, choose Master Data ® Product ® Maintain Product .· You have defined a packaging material.

In Customizing for EWM, select Cross-Process Settings ® Handling Units ® Basics ® Define Packaging Material .· In Customizing, determine which steps you want to execute automatically using EWM.

For more information about making settings in Customizing for the individual steps, see under “Activities“.For more information about packaging materials, see Packaging Materials.

PUBLIC© 2014 SAP SE or an SAP affiliate company. All rights reserved.

Page 7 of 28

FeaturesIn the Implementation Guide (IMG), for the creation of a warehouse order, you can make settings for which packaging material the system should propose forpicking. When EWM creates a warehouse order, you can set the packing proposals for any number of combinations of warehouse order, activity area, andmovement type, as follows:

· Automatic creation and assignment of pick HUsWhen EWM creates a warehouse order, it automatically creates one or more pick HUs with the specified packaging material. It assigns the pick HUs to thewarehouse tasks in the warehouse order (optional). When you confirm the associated warehouse tasks, you can manually change the pick HUs and theirassignments to the warehouse tasks.

· Automatic proposal of packaging materialsWhen EWM creates a warehouse order, it automatically proposes the number of pick HUs with the required packaging material. When you confirm thewarehouse tasks for the warehouse order, you can confirm the proposals for the packaging materials and manually create your own pick HUs.

· Manual creation and assignment of pick HUs during warehouse task confirmationEWM does not create any pick HUs, nor does it determine a packaging material. You can create the pick HUs manually. When you confirm the warehousetask, you can manually assign the pick HUs to the warehouse task.

For more information about packing, see Packing During Warehouse Task Confirmation.

Warehouse Task Item Split for Pick HUs

If you determine during picking of the warehouse task items that the pick HU is too small for the entire item quantity, you can split the warehouse task item andpick in a newly-created pick HU, in other words, you can execute a partial picking.

Activities· If you want EWM to automatically create and assign the pick HUs, then in Customizing for EWM, choose Cross-Process Settings ® Warehouse Order ®

Define Packing Profile for Warehouse Order Creation .¡ Define a packing profile.¡ If you want EWM to automatically create pick HUs, select Create HUs .¡ If you want EWM to automatically assign pick HUs to the warehouse tasks in the warehouse order, choose Assign HUs to WTs .

· If you want EWM to automatically propose the number of pick HUs with the required packaging material, then in Customizing for EWM, choose Cross-Process Settings ® Warehouse Order ® Define Packing Profile for Warehouse Order Creation , and define a packing profile without choosing Create HUsor Assign HUs to WTs .

· If you want to manually create and assign pick HUs, you do not define a packing profile in Customizing for EWM.

For more information about the packing profile, see the Implementation Guide (IMG) for Extended Warehouse Management under Cross-Process Settings ® Warehouse Order ® Define Packing Profile for Warehouse Order Creation.

!--a11y-->

1.1.3.2 Partial Picking

UseIn a partial picking, Extended Warehouse Management (EWM) can create a corresponding warehouse task for an outbound delivery, even though it cannotcompletely fill all items for the outbound delivery.

By default, EWM executes a partial picking.If the available quantity in the warehouse is not sufficient to fill all items of the outbound delivery, you can prevent the creation of a warehouse task.

PrerequisitesIf you want to execute a complete picking, you need to have made the settings for complete picking for warehouse order, in Customizing for Extended WarehouseManagement (EWM) under Cross-Process Settings ® Warehouse Task ® Define Warehouse Process Type .

FeaturesYou use the standard setting (partial picking) so that EWM creates a warehouse task even though it cannot completely fill all items of the outbound delivery.

You use the complete picking,● so that EWM does not create a warehouse task during a background processing, such as wave release or processing using a Post Processing Framework

action (PPF action).● so that EWM warns you in the user interface for warehouse task creation for warehouse requests, that the required quantity is underfilled and that a complete

PUBLIC© 2014 SAP SE or an SAP affiliate company. All rights reserved.

Page 8 of 28

picking is required. You can cancel the warehouse task creation or save the warehouse task created internally.

You have created an outbound delivery with two products of 50 pieces each. Since creation of the outbound delivery, you have taken from thewarehouse 10 pieces from the product in the second outbound delivery item, so that only 40 pieces remain. If you create a warehouse task for thisoutbound delivery, EWM notifies you that it cannot completely fill the picking requirements.

ActivitiesThe following table provides an overview of the possibilities within partial picking.

Partial picking is allowed Procedure Results

EWM automatically adjusts the outbound delivery quantityto the warehouse task quantity.

In Customizing for Extended Warehouse Management,choose Cross-Process Settings ® Exception Handling® Define Exception Codes and then DeliveryAdjustment in Case of Differences. Define the deliveryadjustment in the case of differences.

EWM transfers the warehouse task quantity as warehouserequest quantity to the corresponding items of thewarehouse request.

You manually adjust the outbound delivery quantity to thepicked quantity.

On the SAP Easy Access screen, choose ExtendedWarehouse Management ® Delivery Processing ®Outbound Delivery ® Maintain Outbound Delivery

Order.Choose Change Mode and then Adjust DeliveryQuantity . Adjust the outbound delivery quantity to thewarehouse task quantity.

EWM transfers the warehouse task quantity as warehouserequest quantity to the corresponding item of thewarehouse request.

Neither you nor EWM adjust the outbound deliveryquantity to the picked quantity.

EWM has not yet completely picked the outbound delivery.You can create additional warehouse tasks so that EWMcan fill all items of the outbound delivery.

!--a11y-->

1.1.3.3 Pick Denial

PurposeIf Extended Warehouse Management (EWM) creates a warehouse task with reference to a warehouse request for an outbound delivery order, it is possible thatEWM cannot create a new warehouse task, or can only create a warehouse task with a partial quantity. This is caused by one of the following reasons:

● You have performed a storage bin denial.● EWM cannot find any, or not enough, stock to fulfill the requested quantity of the warehouse request.

In these cases there is a pick denial.

Prerequisites● For the case that EWM cannot completely fulfill the requested quantity of the warehouse request, you have not specified that warehouse task creation should

be canceled. This means that the Business Add-In (BAdI) for the outbound delivery (/SCWM/TO_CREATE) does not use the method ABORT to cancelwarehouse task creation.In the Implementation Guide (IMG) for SAP Supply Chain Management , choose Extended Warehouse Management ® Business Add-Ins (BAdIs) forExtended Warehouse Management ® Cross-Process Settings ® Warehouse Task ® BAdI: WT Creation .

● In Customizing, you have activated pick denial at warehouse number level.In the (IMG) for SAP Supply Chain Management , choose Extended Warehouse Management ® Goods Issue Process ® Pick Denial ® ActivatePick Denial at Warehouse Number Level .

● In Customizing, you have activated pick denial at warehouse process type level.In the (IMG) for SAP Supply Chain Management , choose Extended Warehouse Management ® Goods Issue Process ® Pick Denial ® ActivatePick Denial at Warehouse Process Type Level .

● You have defined your own exception codes for calling exception handling, and have assigned these to the internal exception codes defined by SAP.In the (IMG) for SAP Supply Chain Management , choose Extended Warehouse Management ® Cross-Process Settings ® Exception Handling ®Define Exception Codes .

In the (IMG) for SAP Supply Chain Management , choose Extended Warehouse Management ® Goods Receipt Process ® Pick Denial ® AssignInternal Exception Codes to Exception Codes .

Process 1. You or EWM want to create a warehouse task. However, EWM cannot create a new warehouse task, or can only create a warehouse task with a partial

quantity.You can create a warehouse task using the user interface for stock removals for the outbound delivery order (online mode) or as a background job(background mode). You can start a background job, for example, using a Post Processing Framework action or a wave release.

2. EWM compares the requested quantity with the warehouse task quantity. If the system determines differences, it performs exception handling according to

PUBLIC© 2014 SAP SE or an SAP affiliate company. All rights reserved.

Page 9 of 28

your Customizing settings. If you have specified an action in Customizing, for example, adjust the quantity in the warehouse request to the picked quantity,EWM triggers an alert and creates a workflow task.You or EWM perform the following:

○ If you create the warehouse task in online mode, EWM displays a warning, depending on your Customizing settings, informing you that a pick denial hasoccurred.You can proceed as follows:

■ Confirm the action suggested by your Customizing settings by choosing Save .EWM executes a pick denial and executes a workflow in the background.

■ Change the action suggested by your Customizing settings and then choose Save .EWM executes a pick denial and executes a workflow in the background.

■ Execute the workflow using the action proposed by the system suggested by your Customizing settings, by choosing SAP Office ® Folders ®Inbox , or delete it and create a new warehouse task, for example if you still have stock in another storage type.

○ If EWM creates the warehouse task in background mode, it triggers a pick denial according to your Customizing settings, and performs any follow-upactivity in the background.If you use wave management, EWM also writes an entry into the wave management log, informing you that EWM could not create a warehouse task, orcould only create a warehouse task with a partial quantity.

3. Depending on your Customizing settings, EWM sends a message to ERP about the pick denial.

ResultsDepending on your Customizing settings, EWM has executed the action for pick denial in the background.

● The system did not execute an action.● The system adjusted the quantity in the warehouse request to the picked quantity, and sent a message about the pick denial to ERP if required.

For more information about reporting a change to an outbound delivery, see Processing of Outbound Deliveries under “Notification of an outbounddelivery change to the ERP system.“

!--a11y-->

1.1.3.4 Cancellation of Picking

UseIf you have picked too much, for example, or if you require previously picked stock more urgently for another outbound delivery, you can cancel an outbounddelivery either partially or completely.

PrerequisitesIf you want to release stock and simultaneously create a warehouse task (WT) in the background, you need to have performed the following in the Customizingsettings for Extended Warehouse Management (EWM):

● You have defined the warehouse process type for the cancellation of picking. For more information, see the Implementation Guide (IMG) for SAP SupplyChain Management under Extended Warehouse Management ® Goods Issue Process ® Cancel Picking ® Define Warehouse Process Type forPutback.

● You have defined the warehouse process type for the cancellation of picking as a default value. For more information, see the Implementation Guide (IMG) forSAP Supply Chain Management under Extended Warehouse Management ® Goods Issue Process ® Cancel Picking ® Define Warehouse Number

Control for Putback.

FeaturesEWM cancels previously picked stock of warehouse request items (WR items) or handling units (HUs), as well as reserved stock of WTs. EWM releases theassignment of picked or reserved stock from the WR items, HUs or WTs. This makes the stock freely available again.

For packed stock, EWM can only release stock for the highest-level HU. In addition, EWM can only release stock for complete HUs.

If EWM releases the assignment of a stock, the system can also create a new WT at the same time. If EWM is creating the WT in the foreground, the systemproceeds as follows: 1. EWM starts by releasing the stock. 2. If the stock is unpacked, EWM then calls the transaction for moving products. If the stock is packed, EWM calls the transaction for moving HUs. 3. You define the new WT by creating storage bins or the warehouse process type for the new WT, for example.If EWM is creating the WT in the background, the system releases the stock and simultaneously creates a new WT with the specified warehouse process type.

On the Warehouse Request Items tab page, EWM gives you information that is relevant for the cancellation of picking for the WR item. On the Stock tab page,EWM gives you information about the stock, such as where the different stock is located in the warehouse. On the Open Product WT tab page, EWM displaysthe open product WTs of the WR items.

1.2 Storage Control

UseYou can use the process-oriented as well as layout-oriented methods for storage control. The goal of storage control is to display your complex putaway or stockremoval process steps based on your processes or your layout data. During putaway or stock removal, an individual process step can be executed on singlelevel basis or on multi level basis (that is, through intermediate storage types).

You can combine the process-oriented storage control with the layout-oriented storage control. Here, EWM always executes the process-oriented storage controlfirst. The layout-oriented storage control then checks whether the sequence of putaway process steps is possible in layout view, and if required, adjusts the flow ofthe putaway or stock removal.

Based on the process-oriented storage control, EWM determined the following putaway process flow:● Unloading at door● Counting at counting station● Checking the quality

Page 11 of 28

● Executing value-added services● Putaway in high rack storage areaThe layout-oriented storage control determines that a direct putaway in the high rack storage area is not possible and that the putaway must occurwith the use of an identification point.● Unloading at door● Counting at counting station● Identification of goods at the ID point● Putaway in high rack storage area

IntegrationExtended Warehouse Managment (EWM) uses the delivery to determine, via delivery type and delivery item among others, the warehouse process type. Thiscontains the procedure, in other words, the putaway or stock removal process with different activities. EWM transfers this operation to the handling unit to be putaway or removed from stock. The handling unit thus contains the information concerning what process steps are required for the putaway or stock removal.

PrerequisitesYou have defined the following in Customizing for the putaway:

● Paramaters that specify the work station determination for the next function (for example, counting) within the goods receipt processThe following parameters are possible:

○ Source storage type○ Destination activity area or destination storage type○ Warehouse process type○ Handling unit type

● Determination of the warehouse process type, using the delivery type and delivery item type, among others.

FeaturesFor information about the features of storage control, see Process-Oriented Storage Control and Layout-Oriented Storage Control.

1.2.1 Process-Oriented Storage Control

UseYou use this type of storage control to map complex putaways or stock removals. In doing so, you combine your storage process steps into one storage process.You can also trace the status of the individual process steps.

Process-oriented storage control only operates with handling units.

IntegrationFor more information about integration, see Storage Control.

PrerequisitesFor more information about the prerequisites, see Storage Control.

FeaturesYou define the process steps for your complex storage process.

A process step is, for example, unloading, counting, or deconsolidating. Extended Warehouse Management (EWM) recognizes internal process steps predefinedby SAP and external steps that you can define yourself. Your external process stesps can base themselves on internal ones.

PUBLIC© 2014 SAP SE or an SAP affiliate company. All rights reserved.

Page 12 of 28

In addition, internal or external process steps can be simple, such as unloading, or combined, such as deconsolidating.

For more information, see Direct and Combined Storage Control.

The process steps for the Counting and Deconsolidating processes predefined by SAP can be dynamic.

During goods receipt or goods issue, EWM copies the predefined process steps from the storage process type to the handling unit. EWM assigns these processsteps to a handling unit as soon as it has created or changed them.

ActivitiesTo make Customizing settings for process-oriented storage control, see the Implementation Guide (IMG) for SAP Supply Chain Management (SAP SCM) underExtended Warehouse Management ® Cross-Process Settings ® Warehouse Task ® Define Process-Oriented Storage Control.

!--a11y-->

Direct and Combined Storage Control (Stock Removal)

UseIf you want to execute a direct stock removal, you do not have to define anything in the process-oriented storage control.

If you want to define complex stock removal processes, you have to use a combined process-oriented storage control. Extended Warehouse Management (EWM)uses this during creation of a warehouse task to determine the intermediate storage types (for example, packing station).

For information about integration and the prerequisites, see Storage Control .

FeaturesDirect Storage Control for Stock Removal

If EWM determines that you are to pick a handling unit (HU) directly, it creates a warehouse task for this HU that determines the way from the source storagetype to the destination storage type. For more information about updating the status, see Updating the Outbound Delivery Order in the GI Process.

The following graphic shows you the relationship between direct putaway and creation of warehouse tasks.

Combined Storage Control for Stock Removal

If EWM determines that you are to pick a HU from stock using one or more intermediate storage types, it creates one warehouse task per route section for thisHU.

● One warehouse task that describes the route from source storage type to intermediate storage typeIrrespective of your settings in Customizing, EWM also creates a warehouse task per product contained in the HU.

● Based on your settings in Customizing, one warehouse task from the intermediate storage type to the next intermediate storage type, or to the final destinationstorage type.

You can carry out different activities at the intermediate storage types. For example, within a stock removal process, at an intermediate storage type, you candistribute HUs containing different products to stock removal HUs.

In combined stock removal, you can determine the final destination storage type either right at the beginning of your stock removal process, or later.

EWM manages the intermediate storage types in the same way as standard storage types. For example, you can break these down into storage sections andstorage bins.

For more information about updating the status, see Updating the Outbound Delivery Order in the GI Process.

Updating the Outbound Delivery Order in the GI Process

UseExtended Warehouse Management (EWM) updates the outbound delivery order corresponding to the goods issue activities (GI activities).

FeaturesEWM updates the outbound delivery order for the following GI processes:

· Unpacked stock a. You or EWM generate the first product warehouse task (product WT). EWM sets the status Picking Planning in the outbound delivery order. b. You confirm the first product WT for picking. EWM sets the status Picking in the outbound delivery order. If the destination location in the product WT is

a storage bin at the door or a transportation unit (TU), EWM sets the status Unloading in the outbound delivery order.· Packed stock

a. You or EWM generate the first product WT. EWM sets the status Picking Planning in the outbound delivery order. b. You confirm the first product WT for picking. EWM sets the status Picking in the outbound delivery order. c. You pack the stock. d. You or EWM generate the related loading warehouse task (loading WT), meaning the destination location corresponds to a bin at the door or to a TU. e. You confirm the loading WT. f. EWM sets the status Loading in the outbound delivery order.

!--a11y-->

Layout-Oriented Storage Control

UseYou can use the layout-oriented storage control if stock movements in your warehouse do not occur from a source storage bin to a destination location directly, butrather via intermediate storage bins.

The layout-oriented storage control only operates with handling units.One exception is the process display with picking or identification points.

You use layout-oriented storage control in the material flow system to define conveyor segments.

IntegrationFor more information about integration, see Storage Control.

For more information about integration, see .

PrerequisitesFor more information about the prerequisites, see Storage Control.

FeaturesFor layout-oriented storage control, you define external warehouse process steps for your warehouse, including identification points and pick points.

For example, you have a high rack storage area. If you want to move a product pallet from storage bin A (goods receiving area) to storage bin B(high rack storage area), the system should execute a contour and weight check to ensure that the product pallet can be put away in the high rackstorage area safely. For this activity, Extended Warehouse Management ( EWM ) splits the warehouse order into two: one from storage bin A toidentification point I, and a second from identification point I to storage bin B.

You can move your goods using a pick point during picking.

ActivitiesTo make settings in Customizing for layout-oriented storage control, see the Implementation Guide (IMG) for SAP Supply Chain Management (SAP SCM) underExtended Warehouse Management ® Cross-Process Settings ® Warehouse Task ® Layout-Oriented Storage Control.

1.3 Stock Determination

UseYou use stock determination to apply stock removal strategies during picking and stock transfers, based on predefined settings in Customizing. Based on therecorded product requirements, Extended Warehouse Management (EWM) determines in which sequence and from which storage types and stocks you shouldremove the desired product.

EWM executes stock determination during creation of the warehouse task. In so doing, EWM takes into account own stocks, consignment stocks, and, in the caseof internal movements, different stock types.

PrerequisitesYou have set stock determination groups in Customizing for EWM under Cross-Process Settings ® Stock Determination ® Maintain Stock DeterminationGroups , and have saved these groups in the master record so that EWM can execute stock determination for a product.

You have made the settings in Customizing for EWM under Cross-Process Settings ® Stock Determination ® Set Stock Determination , for a stockdetermination strategy that the system uses to reduce stock. In so doing, you define a valuation to evaluate stocks of different owners or different stock types in adifferent manner.

For more information about Customizing for stock determination, see the Implementation Guide (IMG) for EWM under● Cross-Process Settings ® Stock Determination ® Maintain Stock Determination Groups

● Cross-Process Settings ® Stock Determination ® Set Stock Determination

FeaturesIn EWM, stock determination occurs in the background during creation of warehouse tasks.

Stock Determination Strategies

You can define the following stock determination strategies:

Stock Determination Dominates

During stock removal, EWM considers the warehouse number stock characteristics Owner and Stock Type as defined by you. In doing so, it uses the stockremoval sequence to check the existing stocks for the corresponding stock.

The stock removal sequence arises from prioritizing individual stocks according to the valuation you have defined. EWM first searches through existing stocksaccording to the stock characteristics that have the highest number of points. If the required stock is larger than the stock found, EWM searches the existingstocks according to the stock characteristics that have the next highest number of points. EWM continues this process until it finds enough stocks for the required

PUBLIC© 2014 SAP SE or an SAP affiliate company. All rights reserved.

Page 15 of 28

stock, or it notifies you that it can only find a portion of the required stock.

EWM Dominates

During stock removal, EWM considers all allowed stocks, regardless of the stock characteristic of the warehouse number. It stores the required quantities and inso doing, only takes into account the stock removal rule defined in EWM, such as FIFO. In this case, EWM removes the oldest quant from stock, irrespective ofwhether this is an own stock or a consignment stock. You can also use the stock determination’s number of points as sort criterion in the stock removal rule, sothat for example, the stocks found per storage type are removed from stock according to descending number of points.

ActivitiesIn Customizing for EWM under Cross-Process Settings ® Stock Determination ® Maintain Stock Determination Groups , define the stock determinationstrategy (stock determination dominates or EWM dominates).

ExampleYou define a stock determination strategy that you use during replenishment activities to firstly remove own stock (owner GLENN) and then to remove consignationstock for owner SCHMIDT (owner SCHMIDT). To do this, you define the following in Customizing for EWM:

● Maintain stock determination groupYou define the stock determination group 01 for warehouse 001, using the stock determination strategy Stock Determination Dominates.

● Set stock determination

WarehouseNumber

Party Entitled toDispose

Activity StockDeterminationGroup

Current Number StockCharacteristic

Inbound Value Permitted Value Valuation

001 GLENN Replenishment 01 1 Owner GLENN GLENN 100

001 GLENN Replenishment 01 2 Owner GLENN SCHMIDT 10

The system uses your stock determination strategy to search for the stock determination group 01.● If you have defined the strategy Stock Determination Dominates for the stock determination group 01, EWM first searches the warehouse for own stock

according to the set stock removal strategy. If EWM cannot fill the required quantity for the warehouse task, it also searches for stocks from owner SCHMIDTand uses stocks found here as well, to fill the warehouse task’s required quantity.

● If you have defined the strategy EWM Dominates for the stock determination group 01, EWM searches the warehouse for own stock and for stock from ownerSCHMIDT, according to the set stock removal strategy. You define the stock removal sequence by using the storage type search sequence and the stockremoval strategy, such as FIFO. You have made settings in Customizing for stock determination to define valuation points for the individual owners, and thushave undertaken a prioritization. You can use this prioritization to sort stocks for a storage type or storage type group.

!--a11y-->

Storage Bin Determination for Stock Removal

UseThe aim of storage bin determination for stock removal is to determine storage bins and stock for stock removals and internal movements. Here, for example, thesystem uses parameters from the product master that you have defined manually or those that the system has determined in slotting.

You can define the business strategy according to which the storage bin determination for stock removal is to run, for example, FIFO (First In, First Out). Youmake the settings for these stock removal strategies in Customizing.

Storage bin determination for stock removal occurs automatically when warehouse tasks (WTs) are created.

Prerequisites● You have defined a stock removal rule in Customizing for Extended Warehouse Management (EWM) under Goods Issue Process ® Strategies ®

Determination of Stock Removal Search Sequence and Stock Removal Rule

The stock removal search sequence contains information about the storage types in which the system is to search for stock and the order in which it is to sort thestock found. The stock removal rule specifies the order in which the system is to sort the individual quants.

The system determines the stock removal search sequence on the basis of the parameters from the WT.

In Customizing, you can link a stock removal rule to a stock removal search sequence. This means that the stock removal rule is fixed for all storage typesbelonging to the stock removal search sequence. If you have not linked the stock removal rule and the stock removal search sequence to one another, the systemuses the stock removal rule that you have defined for the storage type or the storage type group. If you enter the storage type or the storage type group manually,the system calls the determination of stock removal search sequences to determine the stock removal rule.

You can use the BAdIs in the /SCWM/ES_CORE_RMS enhancement spot to make changes to the result.

Determination of Storage Type or Storage Type Group

The system uses the stock removal search sequence that was found to determine the storage type or the storage type group in which it is to search for stock.

Selection of Quants

The system uses the storage type or the storage type group that was found to select the stock.

You can use the BAdIs in the /SCWM/ES_CORE_RMS enhancement spot to make changes to the result.

Sorting the Quants

The system uses the stock removal rule that was found to sort the stock that was determined.

You can use the BAdIs in the /SCWM/ES_CORE_RMS enhancement spot to make changes to the result.

Selection of a Quant

The system chooses the first quant that was found, and checks it. If it cannot use this quant, for example, because the quantity is insufficient or the storage bin islocked for stock removal, the system takes the next quant, and so on.

!--a11y-->

Replenishment Control

UseYou use replenishment control to fill up a picking area in accordance with the demand for products that you pick in this area.

The data can come from the following sources:● Slotting

Calculation of the minimum quantity and the maximum quantity as well as the minimum replenishment quantity at storage type level or at fixed storage bin level● Open warehouse requests in accordance with selection● Manually entering the minimum and maximum quantity as well as the minimum replenishment quantity

Prerequisites● You have executed the following in Customizing under Extended Warehouse Management ® Internal Warehouse Processes ® 1.5 Replenishment

The following types of replenishment control are available:Planned replenishmentYou can start planned replenishment either interactively or in the background. The system calculates the replenishment in accordance with the defined minimumquantity and maximum quantity. Replenishment control is triggered when the stock is less than the minimum quantity. The system rounds down the replenishmentquantity, in other words, the quantity of the warehouse task or the warehouse request, to a multiple of the minimum replenishment quantity.Order-related replenishmentYou can start order-related replenishment either interactively or in the background. The system calculates the replenishment in accordance with the quantity of theselected open warehouse requests. Replenishment control is triggered when the stock is less than the required quantity. The system rounds up the replenishmentquantity to a multiple of the minimum replenishment quantity. The maximum quantity can be exceeded.Automatic replenishmentThe system starts automatic replenishment in the background when you confirm a warehouse task. It calculates the replenishment in accordance with themaximum and minimum quantity. Replenishment control is triggered when the stock is less than the minimum quantity. The system rounds down thereplenishment quantity to a multiple of the minimum replenishment quantity.Direct replenishmentDirect replenishment is only possible in fixed storage bin scenarios. It is started during a bin denial when an exception code refers to the internal process codeReplenishment . The system calculates the replenishment in accordance with the maximum and minimum quantity. Here it assumes that the quantity at the

storage bin is zero. The system rounds down the replenishment quantity to a multiple of the minimum replenishment quantity.

Direct replenishment can be performed by the picker (picker-directed replenishment). In this case, a warehouse task is displayed for the replenishment as thenext item to be processed in the picker’s warehouse order. As a prerequisite, the system must have found stock in the permitted storage types. Picker-directedreplenishment is only possible in radio frequency scenarios.

We recommend that you use picker-directed replenishment if the reserve storage area is situated close to the picking area.

Handling Differences When Picking for Warehouse Request

PurposeWhen you confirm a warehouse task, differences between the product quantity requested and the product quantity available may result.

According to the warehouse task for a warehouse request, you are to pick 50 pieces of the product PROD-01 from the storage bin 02-03-44.However, you find only 45 pieces of the product in the storage bin. You confirm the warehouse task with a difference of 5 pieces.

Process 1. You want to remove a product from stock. 2. You pick a quantity smaller than the quantity specified on the corresponding warehouse task. 3. You record the quantity difference in the warehouse task by entering the quantity you have actually picked. 4. You confirm the warehouse task difference. 5. EWM updates the quantity to be picked in the warehouse request. 6. You decide how to proceed:

○ You want to conduct another picking for the warehouse request.■ You create a further warehouse task for the warehouse request.■ After you have confirmed the further warehouse task for the warehouse request, the picking for the warehouse request is closed completely.

○ You do not want to conduct a further picking for the warehouse request.EWM uses Adjust Delivery Quantity to equate the delivery quantity with the picked quantity. Through this adjustment, the pick status changes fromPartially Completed to Completed . You can post the delivery for goods issue.

ResultsThe warehouse request is completely picked. You can post the goods issue for the warehouse request.

1.7 Kit to Order

PurposeWith this process, you can have the system automatically assemble kits to order if there is no kit in stock.

The following rules apply to kits:● A kit is always delivered in full to a customer.● The kit header and the kit components are always scheduled for the same date.● All components of a kit must come from the same warehouse (this can be achieved by means of internal transfer between warehouses).● Kit prices are always calculated at kit header level.● The kit header and kit component have a quantity ratio – defined by the kit structure – to each other. This quantity ratio is recalculated as soon as there are

changes at kit header level or at kit component level.If the kit is in stock, the SPM goods issue process takes place.

For more information about the SPM Goods Issue Process , see the SAP Library for SAP ECC under Logistics ® Logistics - General (LO) ® SAPService Parts Management (LO-SPM) ® Goods Issue Process.

PrerequisitesYou are using the following systems:

● SAP CRM 5.0For more information, see the SAP Library for mySAP Customer Relationship Management under Components and Functions ® Availability Check ®Availability Check Using SAP APO ® Additional ATP Functions in Service Parts Management ® Kits in the Sales Order.

● SAP ECC 6.0For more information about the required Customizing settings, see the SAP Library for SAP ECC under Logistics ® Logistics - General (LO) ® SAPService Parts Management (SPM) ® Goods Issue Process ® Kit to Order ® Customizing Settings.

For more information about the required Customizing settings, see the Implementation Guide (IMG) for SCM under Extended Warehouse Management® Goods Issue Process ® Make Settings for Kitting .

○ Advanced Planning and Optimization (APO):For more information, see Availability Check for Kits .

Process

1. You create a sales order (SAP CRM) a. The system triggers the rule-based ATP check in SAP SCM for a requirement from the sales order. The system determines one or more rules with

replacements. One of the replacements is a kit. b. A requirement for a kit originates as an input product from the sales order. On the basis of this, the system triggers the ATP check in SAP SCM. c. The system initiates the credit check in SAP ECC. d. The system performs the price determination and checks for the sales order, as well as checks for foreign trade determination. e. The system transfers the data from the sales order to SAP ECC.For more information about processing sales orders, see the SAP Library for mySAP Customer Relationship Management under Components and Functions® Process Sales Orders .

2. The system performs an ATP check and confirms quantities (SAP SCM-APO)The system checks whether the kit is in stock. If the kit is not in stock, the production that is activated in the validation rule creates a kit structure that containsthe kit components that the system requires to assemble the kit. The system then performs the ATP check for the kit components and confirms the quantitiesfor the sales order.

3. The system creates an unchecked delivery (SAP ECC-SPM) without creating an order.For more information, see the SAP Library for SAP ECC under Logistics ® Logistics - General (LO) ® SAP Service Parts Management (SPM) ®Goods Issue Process ® Creation and Update of Unchecked Deliveries.

4. You convert the unchecked delivery to a checked delivery (SAP ECC-SPM).For more information, see the SAP Library for SAP ECC under Logistics ® Logistics - General (LO) ® SAP Service Parts Management (SPM) ®Goods Issue Process ® Conversion of Unchecked to Checked Deliveries.

5. The system performs another ATP check for the various kit components and confirms the quantities from the checked delivery (SAP SCM-APO)For more information, see Availability Check for Kits .

6. EWM creates a warehouse request for the outbound delivery (SAP SCM-EWM).When it receives notification from SAP ECC, EWM uses the checked delivery to automatically create an outbound delivery order, that is, a warehouse requestfor an outbound delivery.For more information, see Generating a Warehouse Request for Inbound Delivery or Outbound Delivery Order.

7. You pick the outbound delivery order (SAP SCM-EWM).For more information, see Generating a Warehouse Request for Inbound Delivery or Outbound Delivery Order.

8. The system changes/confirms the outbound delivery (SAP ECC-SPM)○ The system changes the delivery if quantity shortages are reported by EWM and then confirms the delivery.○ The system confirms the delivery if exact delivery fulfillment is reported by EWM.

For more information, see the SAP Library for SAP ECC under Logistics ® Logistics - General (LO) ® SAP Service Parts Management (SPM) ®Goods Issue Process ® Processing of Checked Deliveries.

9. The system posts the goods issue for the kits (SAP ECC-SPM).For more information about posting goods issue, see the SAP Library for SAP ECC under Logistics ® Logistics - General (LO) ® SAP Service PartsManagement (SPM) ® Goods Issue Process ® Transfer Posting for Kits.

10. The system clears ATP-confirmed quantities (SAP SCM-APO). 11. The system updates the stock (SAP SCM-APO). 12. The system updates the data in the sales order (SAP CRM).

For more information about processing sales orders, see the SAP Library for mySAP Customer Relationship Management under Components and Functions® Process Sales Orders .

1.7.1 Kit

DefinitionDescribes a piece list that you always deliver in a complete and assembled form.

UseExtended Warehouse Management (EWM) does not save the kits as master data, instead it receives the information about the structure of a kit in the form of itemsof an outbound delivery from the ERP system (see also Kit in the Warehouse Request for the Outbound Delivery Order). You can use the structure containing thekit in the outbound delivery in combination with a packaging specification as a basis for assembling or producing a kit in EWM.

StructureA kit can consist of the following levels:

● Kit headerKit component

● Replaced kit component (optional)

EWM does not support nested kits, that is, kits in kits.

Kitting at a Work Center with a VAS Order

PUBLIC© 2014 SAP SE or an SAP affiliate company. All rights reserved.

Page 20 of 28

PurposeYou can use this process to create a kit with a value-added service order (VAS order). This provides you with the following VAS order options:

● Working with a special kitting work center● Automatic determination of the kitting work center

Documentation about efforts and status tracking for kitting● Integrating VAS processing into the delivery

You can use an indicator for the item type of the kit header to make the system generate an item for the kit header in the pick-handling unit (pick-HU). You canprint out this HU item in a HU list, display it in the packing transaction, and confirm it to the ERP system.

In EWM, a kitting instruction can exist in one of the following forms:● As free text from the SAP Customer Relationship Management sales order that forms the basis for the outbound delivery.● As free text that you have created in the warehouse request in EWM.

You can display this text in the work center as additional information.

PrerequisitesYou have made all the required settings for kitting in Customizing. For more information, see the Implementation Guide (IMG) for Extended WarehouseManagement (EWM) under Goods Issue Process ® Make Settings for Kitting.

An outbound delivery with kit items exists in EWM.

You have created a packaging specification for the product of the kit header item as master data, so that you can create a VAS order. This packagingspecification must have a level of the level type Kitting . If you are using process-oriented storage control, you must assign the corresponding warehouse processstep (such as KIT) of the warehouse process used to the kitting level (see also: Process-Oriented Storage Control).

Note that a packaging specification (and therefore a VAS order) can only have one level of the type Kitting . You can assign a packaging materialto the kitting level as a proposal for packing the kit.

If the system is to automatically generate an HU item for the kit header in the pick-HU, set the Create Kit Item indicator in Customizing . For more informationabout the packing profile, see the Implementation Guide (IMG) for Extended Warehouse Management (EWM) under Goods Issue Process ® OutboundDelivery ® Define EWM-Specific Settings for Item Types.

Process 1. EWM receives an outbound delivery with kit component items from the ERP system. 2. Depending on your Customizing settings, either you manually create a VAS order or you have the system create one automatically (see also: VAS Order

for the Kit Header Item of the Warehouse Reqeust). 3. You generate warehouse tasks for the kit component items in EWM. 4. You pick the kit component into a pick-HU and confirm the warehouse tasks. The kit components are then at the kitting work center.

○ If you have set the Create Kit Item indicator in Customizing and are working with pick-HUs, the system generates the kit header item in the pick-HU.You can then use these items in the work center to repack the entire kit into another HU.

○ If you have not set the Create Kit Item indicator in Customizing, you can generate the kit header item in the work center manually. 5. You assemble the kit in accordance with the kitting instructions where required.

a. You can display the kitting instruction. b. You can report the work progress in the VAS order.

6. You pack the kit into an HU and generate the HU item for the kit header.

If the ERP system is dependent on an HU item for the confirmation, and you have not set the Create Kit Item indicator in Customizing, then you must generate theitem manually after packing the kits in the work center at the latest. If a transfer posting of the stock from the kit components to the kit header takes place in theERP system when processing the goods issue confirmation from EWM, the ERP system is dependent on this item (see also: Kit to Order). 7. You generate an HU warehouse task to transport the HU to the goods issue zone. 8. You confirm the HU warehouse task. 9. You then post the goods issue for the warehouse request.

If you have set the Create Kit Item indicator, the system uses this HU item in goods issue posting to check whether the packed kits are complete, meaningthe system can therefore post these kits for goods issue.

The system only performs this check if the indicator is set in the item type of the kit header.This process allows you to use the following options:

● Process-oriented storage control● Integrating the VAS order into storage control● Creating VAS orders based on a packaging specification

This enables you to provide additional steps in the warehouse process, such as loading.

You can also define your own warehouse process steps for packing kits into an HU, such as in the following instances:● If you are not performing this step during kitting, but as an additional step at the same work center.● If you are packing the kits into an HU at a different work center after kitting.

The decision as to whether you map additional steps as a step in the warehouse process only, or as a level of the packaging specification as well, depends onwhether you want to document this step in the VAS order. The system only generates a VAS activity where you can report effort and consumption of the packagingmaterial if you have mapped this step as a level of the packaging specification.

ResultYou can ship the kit.

VAS Order for the Kit Header Item of the Warehouse Request

PurposeYou can generate value-added service orders (VAS orders) automatically or manually in Extended Warehouse Management ( EWM ), to document and monitorthese value-added services.

VAS orders that are generated for a kit header item have a special structure.

PrerequisitesYou have made the required settings in Customizing for generating VAS orders automatically or manually. If you want to create a VAS order for kit items in thedelivery, make the settings for the item type of the kit header only. For more information, see the Implementation Guide (IMG) for Extended WarehouseManagement under Cross-Process Settings ® Value-Added Services ® Define Relevance for VAS Order .

An outbound delivery with kit items exists in EWM.

You have defined a packaging specification with a level of type Kitting . Note that a packaging specification (and therefore a VAS order) can only have one levelof the type Kitting .

Process

Automatic Generation 1. You receive an outbound delivery with kit items from the ERP system. 2. EWM checks whether it is to generate a VAS order for the kit header item automatically, and generates it where appropriate. 3. EWM saves the number of the VAS order as a document flow for all kit items of the warehouse request. 4. If you have activated the VAS Order status in the status profile of the item type for the warehouse request item, EWM sets the VAS Order status of the kit

items to one of the following entries:○ Generated

If you have defined in Customizing that EWM is to generate the VAS order automatically.○ Not Relevant

If you have defined in Customizing that EWM is not to generate the VAS order automatically.

Manual Generation 1. You receive an outbound delivery with kit items from the ERP system. 2. You create a VAS order for the kit header item manually (see also: Create and Edit VAS Orders). 3. EWM creates the VAS order. When you save the VAS order, EWM saves the number of the VAS order as a document flow for all kit items of the warehouse

request. 4. If you have activated the VAS Order status in the status profile of the item type for the warehouse request item, EWM sets the VAS Order status of the kit

items to Generated .

ResultThe system has created a VAS order for the kit header. You can use this VAS order for confirming services in the process Kitting at a Work Center with a VASOrder.

When you edit the VAS order, EWM changes the VAS Order status of the warehouse request item (see also: Updating the Warehouse Request Using theVAS Order).

The VAS order for the kit header has the following special features. For example, you have defined a packaging specification with the levels Oiling , Kitting , andPacking . The VAS order for the kit header has the following special features:● All activities prior to the kitting activity (such as oiling) and the kitting activity itself have kit component items of the delivery as their items. This is based on

the assumption that you perform all activities prior to assembling the kits and the kitting activity itself in the kit components.● All activities after the kitting activity (such as packing) have the kit header item as their item. This is based on the assumption that you perform all activities

after assembling the kits in the kit itself.

Page 22 of 28

PurposeYou can use this process in Extended Warehouse Management (EWM) to create a kit without a value-added service order (VAS order). Here you can configure awork center where you also pack in such a way that you can confirm generated kits there. This process is suitable for the following cases:

● You do not require detailed documentation of the kitting procedure in EWM.● You are not performing kitting in one special kitting work center, but at a work center where you are also packing.

You can only find information about kitting in the information for the kit in the outbound delivery and in the kitting instruction that may exist in the form of free text forthe warehouse request item of the kit.

You can use an indicator for the item type of the kit header to make the system generate an item for the kit header in the pick-handling unit (pick-HU). You canprint out this HU item in an HU list, display it in the packing transaction, and confirm it to the ERP system.

In EWM, a kitting instruction can exist in one of the following forms:● As free text from the SAP Customer Relationship Management sales order that forms the basis for the outbound delivery.● As free text that you have created in the warehouse request in EWM.

You can display this text in the work center as additional information.

PrerequisitesYou have made all the required settings for kitting in Customizing. For more information, see the Implementation Guide (IMG) for Extended WarehouseManagement (EWM) under Goods Issue Process ® Make Settings for Kitting.

An outbound delivery with kit items exists in EWM .

If the system is to automatically generate an HU item for the kit header in the pick-HU, set the Create Kit Item indicator in Customizing . For more information, seethe Implementation Guide (IMG) for Extended Warehouse Management (EWM) under Goods Issue Process ® Outbound Delivery ® Define EWM-SpecificSettings for Item Types.

Process 1. EWM receives an outbound delivery with kit component items from the ERP system. 2. You generate warehouse tasks for the kit component items. 3. You pick the kit components into a pick-HU and confirm the warehouse tasks. The kit component items are then in the packing work center.

○ If you have set the Create Kit Item indicator in Customizing and are working with pick-HUs, the system generates the kit header item in the pick-HU.You can then repack these items into other HUs in the work center.

○ If you have not set the Create Kit Item indicator in Customizing, you can generate the kit header item in the work center manually. 4. You assemble the kit in the packing work center. 5. You pack the kit into an HU and generate the HU item for the kit header. 6. You generate an HU warehouse task to transport the HU to the goods issue zone. 7. You confirm the HU warehouse task. 8. You then post the goods issue for the warehouse request.

If you have set the Create Kit Item indicator, the system uses this HU item in goods issue posting to check whether the packed kits are complete, andtherefore whether the system can post goods issue for these kits.

The system only performs this check if the indicator is set in the item type of the kit header.If the ERP system is dependent on an HU item for the confirmation, and you have not set the Create Kit Item indicator in Customizing, you mustgenerate the item manually after packing the kits in the work center at the latest. If a transfer posting of the stock from the kit components to the kitheader takes place in the ERP system when processing the goods issue confirmation from EWM, the ERP system is dependent on this item (seealso: Kit to Order).

ResultYou can ship the kit.

Kitting During Picking Without a VAS Order

PurposeYou can use this process in Extended Warehouse Management (EWM) to create a kit during picking. This process is suitable for the following cases:

● You do not require detailed documentation of the kitting procedure in EWM.● You assemble the kits during picking, that is, you do not perform kitting at special work centers.

You can only find information about kitting in the information for the kit in the outbound delivery and in the kitting instruction that may exist in the form of free text forthe warehouse request item of the kit header.

You can use an indicator for the item type of the kit header to make the system generate an item for the kit header in the pick-handling unit (pick-HU). You canprint out this HU item in an HU list, display it in the packing transaction, and confirm it to the ERP system.

In EWM, a kitting instruction can exist in one of the following forms:● As free text from the SAP Customer Relationship Management sales order that forms the basis for the outbound delivery.

● As free text that you have created in the warehouse request in EWM.You can display this text in the work center as additional information.

PrerequisitesYou have made all the required settings for kitting in Customizing. For more information, see the Implementation Guide (IMG) for Extended WarehouseManagement under Goods Issue Process ® Make Settings for Kitting.

An outbound delivery with kit items exists in EWM.

If the system is to automatically generate an HU item for the kit header in the pick-HU, set the Create Kit Item indicator in Customizing . For more information, seethe Implementation Guide (IMG) for Extended Warehouse Management (EWM) under Goods Issue Process ® Outbound Delivery ® Define EWM-SpecificSettings for Item Types.

If the ERP system is dependent on an HU item for the kit header in the confirmation of goods issue, you must make this setting.If a transfer posting of the stock from the kit components to the kit header takes place in the ERP system when processing the goods issueconfirmation from EWM, the ERP system is dependent on this item (see also: Kit to Order).

Process 1. EWM receives an outbound delivery with kit component items from the ERP system. 2. You generate warehouse tasks for the kit component items. 3. You pick the kit components and assemble the kit, where required in accordance with the kitting instruction. 4. You confirm the warehouse tasks.

If you have set the Create Kit Item indicator in Customizing and are working with pick-HUs, the system generates the kit header item in the pick-HU. Youcan then repack these items into other HUs in the work center.

5. You then post the goods issue for the warehouse request.If you have set the Create Kit Item indicator, the system uses this HU item in goods issue posting to check whether the packed kits are complete, andtherefore whether the system can post goods issue for these kits.

The system only performs this check if the indicator is set in the item type of the kit header.

ResultsYou can ship the kit.

Packing at the Work Center

UseUsing packing in the work center, you can pack products into handling units (HU), and handling units into other handling units. For packing, there are variousrestriction options (filters) available for selection on the initial screen, for example, storage bin, handling unit, or delivery, which enable each user to optimize theirworklist.

On the left side of the work center screen, for example, you can use simple Drag&Drop to repack entire handling units, or to pack products into other handlingunits.

The upper right screen area consists of tab pages that you can mainly use without a mouse. This transaction is particularly aimed at those users who physicallypack products at work centers in the warehouse. The system supports entries using the keyboard or a scanner (where the necessary information is available as abar code).

You can also transmit the exact weight to the SAP system, using scales connected to the system, or you can print handling unit documents.

PrerequisitesEnsure that you have made the required settings for packing in the work center, in Customizing and the SAP menu. For example, in the SAP menu you need tospecify which storage bin is assigned to a work center. In Customizing, you specify which functions are executed at the relevant work center. The display for thedifferent work centers is configurable. For example, in Customizing you can decide which of the available tab pages should be displayed for the user in therelevant work center. For more information, see the Implementation Guide (IMG) for Extended Warehouse Management ® Master Data ® Work Center ®Define Work Center Layout and Define Work Center .

FeaturesPacking in the work center offers you the following range of functions:

● Scanning of○ HU Identification

● Creation of handling units● Repacking of handling units● Repacking of products● Post Differences● Changing handling units● Deconsolidation of handling units

You can configure packing in the work center in such a way that the system copies over frequently required data as default values for packing. In the Controlarea, you can make the following settings:

● Standard storage bin● Standard exception code● Propose Destination HU indicator● Propose Packaging Material indicator● External number assignment on/off

The display is divided into the left and right screen areas. You use the left screen area mainly for navigation, and for quick repacking of handling units andproducts (only using the mouse). In the right screen area, you can request various detailed information about the individual entries.

The left screen area groups the display according to the following objects:

● Storage section (displayed as symbol)

● Storage bin (displayed as symbol)

● Handling units (displayed as symbol or , with or without system lock)

● Storage section (displayed as symbol)

● Open warehouse task (displayed as symbol)

1.9 Scrapping

PurposeIn your warehouse you sometimes find products that are damaged, or that are unusable for some other reason. You often notice this, for example, during picking orphysical inventory. Since you cannot normally sell these products on, you have to scrap them.

You can use this process to create posting change notices for scrapping, and can remove these products from stock and post goods issue as usual.

Prerequisites● You have defined the following different document types for the posting change process, so that you can begin the scrapping process:

○ Document type for scrapping the entire quantity of a product○ Document type for scrapping the entire quantity of a product except for a fixed remaining quantity○ Document type for scrapping a partial quantity of a product

For more information, see the Implementation Guide (IMG) for Extended Warehouse Management under Internal Warehouse Processes ® DeliveryProcessing ® Posting Changes ® Manual Settings ® Define Document Types for Posting Change Process .

● You have defined the warehouse process types for scrapping, in which you enter the work center for scrapping as the destination storage bin.For more information, see the Implementation Guide (IMG) for Extended Warehouse Management under Cross-Process Settings ® Warehouse Task ®Define Warehouse Process Type .

● You have defined the stock removal strategies for determining the stock to be scrapped.For more information, see the Implementation Guide (IMG) for Extended Warehouse Managements under Goods Receipt Process ® Strategies .

● You have defined the work center for scrapping, where you can pack the products to be scrapped together into a collection container.For more information, see the Implementation Guide (IMG) for Extended Warehouse Managements under Master Data ® Work Center .

● You have defined a non-picking-relevant document type for the outbound delivery of the scrapping container.For more information, see the Implementation Guide (IMG) for Extended Warehouse Management under Goods Issue Process ® Outbound Delivery ®Manual Settings ® Define Document Types for the Outbound Delivery Process .

Process 1. Create the posting change notice for scrapping.

a. For the entire quantity of a product b. For the entire quantity of a product except for a fixed remaining quantity c. For a partial quantity of a product (unsaleable or damaged products in the warehouse)

2. Create a warehouse task for scrapping with reference to the posting change notice 3. You can use a stock removal strategy to determine the stock to be scrapped.

You can use different stock removal strategies for the entire quantity of a product and for the entire quantity of a product except for a fixed remaining quantity. 4. Remove the products to scrap from stock.

You pick these products and confirm the warehouse tasks to the work center for scrapping.

Enter

1.10 Invoice Creation Before Goods Issue

UseYou can determine when SAP Customer Relationship Management (SAP CRM) creates an invoice for single or multiple deliveries.

In the standard system, CRM billing creates the invoice after goods issue. However, if you require the invoice printout (for example, for international transportation)before the end of the loading and transportation process, you can create the current invoice before goods issue posting by sending an invoice request fromExtended Warehouse Management (EWM) to CRM billing.

You can request an invoice for each delivery or one or more invoices for the contents of a vehicle or transportation unit. If you want to print invoices for the contentsof a vehicle or transportation unit, EWM triggers the invoice printout in CRM billing by sending the messages Create Billing Document and Print BillingDocument .

IntegrationTo execute the invoice printout, you have installed an ERP system and SAP CRM. EWM sends the invoice-relevant data to the ERP system. The ERP systemtransfers the data to CRM billing.

Prerequisites● You have set the IBGI (Invoicing Before Goods Issue) indicator in the data relevant to the business partner. You can override this indicator in the sales order.

For more information, see the SAP Library under SAP CRM ® Components and Functions ® Sales ® Sales Transaction ® Sales Orders ®Additional Functions for Service Parts Management .

● You have defined specific characteristics in the route, such as the GTS geography group at header level, to determine whether a delivery must be checkedby the customs authority. On the SAP Easy Access screen, choose Extended Warehouse Management ® Master Data ® Shipping and Receiving ®Route Determination ® Maintain Route .

● You have defined that EWM requests CRM billing either for single deliveries or for groups of deliveries depending on the contents of a vehicle or atransportation unit. If, for example, a vehicle is carrying a delivery of 50 different regulators, EWM requests at least 50 invoices from CRM billing.In the SAP Easy Access screen, choose Extended Warehouse Management ® Interfaces ® Invoice Before Goods Issue.

FeaturesFor single requests from EWM, CRM billing directly creates single invoices that you cannot change. If you want to make changes, you have to cancel the invoiceand create a new one.

For group requests from EWM, CRM billing creates one or more invoices for each vehicle or transportation unit. CRM billing creates corresponding billing due listitems. You can make changes to these deliveries in EWM. If these occur before invoice creation, the ERP system updates its deliveries and the invoice-relevantdata according to the input from EWM.

After you have posted the goods issue, you can only trigger the invoice printout from CRM billing.

If more than one vehicle forwards the material for a sales order, you can create related outbound deliveries for each vehicle and request invoices for them.

Invoice Relevance

Your settings at sales order level control the global relevance for invoice creation before goods issue at delivery item level.

You can determine a print profile after CRM billing has selected the printer. EWM finds the print profile and informs CRM billing accordingly. For printing singlerequests, EWM uses the profile of the delivery note printout. For printing group requests, EWM uses the profile of the first delivery that was found.

You must define the same print profile in CRM billing and EWM, so that CRM billing can execute an invoice printout.

Invoice Cancellation

You cannot change an invoice once it has been created. If, for example, you have loaded a handling unit on to a different transportation unit and want to change theinvoice that has already been created, you have to perform an invoice cancellation. EWM sends the cancellation for the invoice that was created to CRM billing.By making a new print request for the changed transportation document, you trigger a new invoice creation in CRM billing.

ActivitiesAmong other things, SAP CRM determines whether EWM sends an invoice request for a delivery before the goods issue posting to CRM billing via the ERPsystem, based on the business partner status Invoice Creation Before Goods Issue Posting Allowed . You can override this setting in the sales order of SAPCRM.

If, depending on the route, the business partner status allows a invoice before goods issue posting , EWM decides whether it sends a single request for an

immediate invoice printout or a group request for an invoice printout to CRM billing via the ERP system.

If you want to request, print or cancel an invoice, on the SAP Easy Access screen, choose Extended Warehouse Management ® Shipping and Receiving ®Maintain Vehicle .● If you choose Request Invoice , EWM sends the message Create Invoice to SAP CRM.● If you choose Cancel Invoice , EWM sends the message Cancel Invoice to SAP CRM.● If you choose Print Invoice , EWM sends the message Print Invoice to SAP CRM.

1.10.1 Print Profile Determination

UseEvery goods issue area can have more than one printer for various document types, for example, for freight lists, bills of lading or invoices.

Extended Warehouse Management (EWM) sends the print profile via the ERP system to billing in SAP Customer Relationship Management (SAP CRM), so thatbilling can assign the correct printer.

Prerequisites· You have defined one or more print profiles in Customizing for EWM.

For more information, see the Implementation Guide (IMG) for SAP Supply Chain Management under Goods Issue Process ® Outbound Delivery ®Print ® Define Print Profiles for Delivery Processing.

· You have defined the print profile determination for the goods issue process in Customizing in EWM.For more information, see the Implementation Guide (IMG) for SAP Supply Chain Management under Goods Issue Process ® Outbound Delivery ®Print ® Define Print Profile Determination for Goods Issue Process .

FeaturesIf EWM requests a single print from CRM billing, CRM billing uses the print profile that EWM sent. EWM uses the print profile from print profile determination indelivery processing.

If EWM requests a grouped print for multiple deliveries from CRM billing, EWM always sends the first print profile that is found by delivery processing.

For information about invoice relevance, the invoice printout and invoice cancellation, see Invoice Creation Before Goods Issue.
