Process documentationProcess Flow for Pick Parts Using Two EWM-Managed Storage Locations (P1)

 

In this process, a manufacturing order in the SAP ERP system triggers the production supply. The SAP ERP system creates a production supply delivery, and replicates it to the SAP EWM system. From the SAP EWM perspective, the production supply delivery is a posting change. In the SAP EWM system, this contains important information for the production supply, such as the following:

  • Production supply area (PSA)

  • Order number

  • Source and target stock types

The user creates the warehouse tasks for the material staging with reference to the production supply delivery. Alternatively, the Post Processing Framework (PPF) action can also trigger this automatically. When executing the warehouse tasks, a warehouse specialist stages the components to the storage bin of the PSA assigned to these components. Since the stock of the PSA belongs to another storage location (which is a separate stock type in SAP EWM), the SAP EWM system performs a posting change, and sends this on to the SAP ERP system (movement type 411 – Posting change storage location to storage location).

Subsequently, confirming the manufacturing order in the SAP ERP system triggers the creation of an outbound delivery for the consumption posting. This contains the information about the PSA, meaning that for each component the SAP EWM system determines the storage bin of the PSA from which goods issue is to be posted.

The standard setting is for the system to process the consumption posting automatically, without any user interaction.

Process

You execute most of the process steps of the following process manually. To a large extent, you can also automate the process to match your requirements.

  1. Create a manufacturing order in the SAP ERP system (transaction CO01 or COR1), and save it. Choose Start of the navigation path Logistics Next navigation step Production Next navigation step Shop Floor Control Next navigation step Order Next navigation step Create. End of the navigation path

  2. Release the manufacturing order.

  3. Activate staging for the products (transaction CO02 or COR2). Choose Start of the navigation path Logistics Next navigation step Production Next navigation step Shop Floor Control Next navigation step Order Next navigation step Change. End of the navigation path

  4. The SAP ERP system then generates an outbound delivery with a reference to the manufacturing order.

  5. This outbound delivery is automatically replicated to the SAP EWM system, where it is created as a posting change request.

  6. The SAP EWM system activates this posting change request, and generates a posting change from it.

  7. You use the manufacturing order number to find and check the posting change. To call transaction /SCWM/IM_PC, choose Start of the navigation path Extended Warehouse Management Next navigation step Delivery Processing Next navigation step Posting Change Next navigation step Maintain Posting Change. End of the navigation path

  8. Create a warehouse task for the posting change. Choose Start of the navigation path Extended Warehouse Management Next navigation step Work Scheduling Next navigation step Create Warehouse Task for Warehouse Request Next navigation step Stock Removal for Posting Change. End of the navigation path

  9. Confirm the warehouse task. This triggers the posting change. Choose Start of the navigation path Extended Warehouse Management Next navigation step Execution Next navigation step Confirm Warehouse Task. End of the navigation path

  10. The SAP EWM system replicates this goods movement to the SAP ERP system.

  11. In the SAP ERP system, a posting change from the issuing storage location to the receiving storage location takes place with reference to the SAP ERP outbound delivery.
