You find that you cannot load the complete quantity. You can create an outbound delivery for individual delivery items and therefore perform an outbound delivery split. Either you or the system can split an outbound delivery order or an outbound delivery.

Features

Outbound Delivery Order Split Based on Outbound Delivery Request

EWM performs an outbound delivery order split on the basis of route determination. For example, an outbound delivery request consists of delivery items 10, 20, and 30. Delivery items 10 and 20 have route R1 and delivery item 30 has route R2. EWM creates an outbound delivery order for delivery items 10 and 20 and a second outbound delivery order for delivery item 30.

For more information, see Route Determination in the Delivery and Special Features for Outbound Delivery Objects .

However, when EWM adjusts the delivery quantities, it takes different quantities into account than for the delivery split for inbound deliveries. EWM takes the following quantities of the outbound delivery order into account:

The quantities of the open warehouse tasks
The packed quantity
The loaded quantity
The aggregated quantity
The picked quantity
The number of serial numbers
The catch weight quantity assignment

Outbound Delivery Split

If you want to perform an outbound delivery split, you split an outbound delivery order item. EWM creates corresponding subitems. You create outbound deliveries for the individual subitems.

You can split delivery items for both packed and unpacked products. EWM displays the subitems that have been created on the Items or HU tab page using + symbols in the Level column. You can also delete an outbound delivery split. To do so, you must first delete the corresponding outbound delivery and then the subitem. You delete the whole subitem when deleting unpacked products. For packed products, you can delete the parts of a subitem that are packed in an HU.

When you save a newly created subitem, EWM posts the stock of the delivery item to the subitem, meaning that the stock is item based. You can post goods issue for every subitem.

The document flow always displays the quantity of delivery items that have not been split and does not display the corresponding subitems.
