Creating a Group

Use

To process deliveries or transfer requirements collectively, you first group the documents together.

Prerequisites

There are open transfer requirements, outbound deliveries relevant for picking, or inbound deliveries relevant for putaway, which you can group together for multiple processing.

Procedure

If you want to assign several transfer requirements or deliveries to one group number in order to process them collectively, choose Start of the navigation path Logistics Next navigation step Logistics Execution Next navigation step Outbound Processes End of the navigation path from the SAP menu .

Start of the navigation path Goods Issue for Outbound Delivery Next navigation step Picking Next navigation step Wave Picks Next navigation step Create Next navigation step Via Outbound Delivery Monitor End of the navigation path

If you set the indicator Exclude existing groups in WM , the system excludes all deliveries from the selection, which are already assigned to a WM group.

To group the outbound deliveries together, choose Start of the navigation path Subsequent functions Next navigation step Group Next navigation step Create with WM reference. End of the navigation path In this case, the system creates a picking group in Shipping and a WM group.

You can create transfer orders for the outbound deliveries to be picked, without having first made a group assignment.
