Process documentation Storage of Pre-Picked Handling Units Locate the document in its SAP Library structure

Purpose

You can use this process to put away, pick and transfer non-inventory-managed Structure link handling units (HUs) within Warehouse Management (WM). Non-inventory-managed HUs are materials that have already been picked and packed.

For instance, you specify that some of the items of a delivery are to be packed in one packaging material (box). The packaging material and the materials it contains form a handling unit that is assigned to a delivery and can be moved within the warehouse. The content of the handling unit is not significant for Warehouse Management. In fact, the contents can only be determined by referring to the delivery.

Prerequisites

Assign the special stock indicator Y to the movement types for putaway (91) and picking (92) in the Implementation Guide (IMG) for Warehouse Management.

To assign special movement indicators to movement types, select Interfaces ® Inventory Management ® Define Movement Types ® LE-WM Interface Inventory Management.

Caution

Note that the delivery for which the handling units were already put away must not be posted goods issue.

Process flow

  2. In all three cases, define the selection criteria for the handling units to be stored. The following selection criteria are available:
  1. In all three cases, you define standard values for the stock movement. The following standard values are possible:

In all three cases, the movement type is determined by the system.
  1. If the stock movement is either a putaway or a pick, decide whether it is to be processed in the foreground or the background.
  2. Background processing:
    1. Putaway

      2. The system lists the handling units to be placed into stock (if errors occur, an error log is created) and also generates the putaway transfer orders.

    2. Picking

The system lists the handling units to be picked (if errors occur, an error log is created) and also generates the picking transfer orders.

  1. Foreground processing:
    1. Putaway
    1. Picking
    1. Stock transfer
  1. In all three cases, you confirm the transfer order that has been generated.
    1. Putaway

      2. The system posts the handling unit to the destination storage bin, effectively completing the putaway process.

    2. Picking

      3. The system removes the handling unit from its storage bin, effectively completing the picking process.

    3. Stock transfer

The system removes the handling unit from its storage bin and posts it to the destination storage bin, effectively completing the transfer.

Note

You can cancel transfer orders that have not yet been confirmed by using the canceling transfer orders function.
