 Warehouse Request of the Posting Change Type

Definition

This warehouse request defines the changes in stock categories of a product in Extended Warehouse Management (EWM).

Use

The warehouse request of the posting change type is a document that you use in EWM for the following:

  • For planned posting changes, such as a scrapping request, without reference to a posting change request. In other words, for a process triggered inside the warehouse.

  • For unplanned posting changes, such as a scrapping request, with reference to a posting change request. In other words, for a process triggered outside the warehouse.

    SAP R/3 triggers this when it sends a delivery message to EWM.

    For more information, see Interfaces for Communication from EWM to SAP ERP .

You can also execute posting changes directly without using a warehouse request.

Structure

For the structural description of a warehouse request, see Warehouse Request .

Integration

You or SAP R/3 trigger the posting change externally. In this case, SAP R/3 sends a delivery message to EWM. EWM then creates a posting change request.

EWM can execute the posting change directly upon creation of a warehouse request of the posting change type. You can recognize this in the goods movement status of the warehouse request. Planned posting changes, which are based on a warehouse request, can also have an associated warehouse task (WT) for a stock transfer. For example, if you want to execute a posting change from unrestricted-use stock to blocked stock, a physical stock transfer may also be necessary due to the warehouse structure. EWM creates a WT for this stock transfer.

If EWM has not executed the posting change, the posting change is executed in one of the following ways:

  • Automatically by EWM through a PPF action, if you have confirmed the WTs

  • Manually by you on the user interface
