 Kitting at a Work Center Without a VAS Order

Purpose

You 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 a work 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 for the 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 can print 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.

Prerequisites

You have made all the required settings for kitting in Customizing. For more information, see the Implementation Guide (IMG) for Extended Warehouse Management (EWM) under Start of the navigation path Goods Issue Process Next navigation step Make Settings for Kitting. End of the navigation path

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, see the Implementation Guide (IMG) for Extended Warehouse Management (EWM) under Start of the navigation path Goods Issue Process Next navigation step Outbound Delivery Next navigation step Define EWM-Specific Settings for Item Types. End of the navigation path

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, and therefore whether the system can post goods issue for these kits.

    Note Note

    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 must generate 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 kit header takes place in the ERP system when processing the goods issue confirmation from EWM, the ERP system is dependent on this item (see also: Kit to Order ).

    End of the note.

Result

You can ship the kit.
