Process documentationOutbound Delivery Process

 

This process allows you to stage products in the staging bay, and post goods issue from the warehouse. The system determines a staging bay using the production supply area (PSA).

The outbound delivery process takes place in the following processes:

  • Processes in which the destination storage location is not an SAP Extended Warehouse Managment (SAP EWM) managed storage location, but an inventory-managed (MM-IM) storage location. The SAP EWM system executes the staging.

  • Processes with a two-step stock transfer using two SAP EWM-managed storage locations and two warehouse numbers, such as shuttle processes.

For more information about the defined processes in production supply, see Organizational Model for Production Supply.

You can use transaction /SCWM/PRDO to see the staging bay that the system has determined for the production supply area. On the SAP Easy Access screen, choose Start of the navigation path Extended Warehouse Management Next navigation step Delivery Processing Next navigation step Outbound Delivery Next navigation step Maintain Outbound Delivery Order End of the navigation path.

Note Note

If the delivery is not relevant for picking, the system determines the goods movement bin from the PSA and not the staging bay.

If you map your production supply using a shuttle process, in other words, if you are using multiple warehouses and have to transport the products across a road, the system assigns a storage bin as it does for other deliveries.

If you have activated shipping and receiving functions, the system determines the PSA from the information within the shipping and receiving functions. Use the shuttle process if you are working with shipping and receiving functions.

For more information about the settings for shipping and receiving, see Customizing for Extended Warehouse Management under Start of the navigation path Cross-Process Settings Next navigation step Shipping and Receiving. End of the navigation path

End of the note.

Prerequisites

You have defined the PSAs and assigned storage bins to these.

On the SAP Easy Access screen, choose Start of the navigation path Extended Warehouse Management Next navigation step Master Data Next navigation step Production Supply Area (PSA) End of the navigation path.

Prerequisites for Automatic Goods Issue Posting

If you want to post goods issue automatically when confirming the warehouse task at the PSA, you must make the following settings:

  1. You have made the following settings in Customizing for Extended Warehouse Management:

    • You have registered the document type of the assigned outbound delivery order for the automatic goods issue posting.

    • You have made the settings for the program Activate Application Log.

    In Customizing for Extended Warehouse Management, choose Start of the navigation path Goods Issue Process Next navigation step Outbound Delivery Next navigation step Production Supply Next navigation step Maintain Settings for Aut. Goods Issue for Production Supply End of the navigation path and Post Goods Issue for Consumption Posting.

  2. You have scheduled the report Post Goods Movement for Production Supply Area (transaction /SCWM/DLV_GIPSA) to run regularly. By doing this, you post the stocks at the PSA as a goods issue from an SAP EWM-managed storage location to an MM-IM inventory-managed SAP ERP storage location.

  3. As an alternative to step 2, you can schedule the report /SCWM/R_DLV_POST_GI_PSA automatically when you confirm the warehouse task at the PSA. This is appropriate if you use the PSA only rarely.

Process

  1. The SAP ERP system replicates the outbound delivery request to the SAP EWM system. From this, the SAP EWM system creates an outbound delivery order.

  2. You create a warehouse task for the outbound delivery order.

  3. You confirm the warehouse task. Depending on your settings, the system posts goods issue automatically when confirming the warehouse task.

  4. You post the goods issue.
