Procedure documentationReceiving Handling Units from Production

 

You can receive packed goods from production in one handling unit (HU) after another for the same manufacturing order, where the HUs have identical content.

Prerequisites

  • You have expected goods receipts in SAP EWM for the manufacturing orders from SAP ERP. For more information, see Generate and Delete Expected Goods Receipts.

  • You have determined whether the system posts the goods receipt with the delivery creation when receiving goods at a specific work center or not by maintaining condition records for PPF action /SCWM/PDI_02_GR_POST.

    On the SAP Easy Access screen for Extended Warehouse Management, choose Start of the navigation path Delivery Processing Next navigation step Actions Next navigation step Maintain Condition Records for PPF Schedule Conditions End of the navigation path and enter maintenance group DLVIMFG.

  • You have determined whether the system creates the warehouse tasks with the delivery creation when receiving goods at a specific work center or not by maintaining condition records for PPF action /SCWM/PDI_02_WT_CREATE.

    On the SAP Easy Access screen for Extended Warehouse Management, choose Start of the navigation path Delivery Processing Next navigation step Actions Next navigation step Maintain Condition Records for PPF Schedule Conditions End of the navigation path and enter maintenance group DLVIMFG.

Procedure

  1. You start RF transaction Rec. HU by Manufacturing Order and log on to a work center.

    In the radio frequency transactions, choose Start of the navigation path Inbound Processes Next navigation step Receiving of Handling Units Next navigation step Rec. HU by Manufacturing Order End of the navigation path

  2. You start transaction Rec. HU by HU and receive the first HU.

    You identify the manufacturing order, product data, batch data, and possibly the external HU number.

  3. You create a HU in the system.

  4. If the pallet is not labelled yet, you print a HU label or a HU content label, and attach it to the pallet.

  5. You receive the subsequent HUs.

    As the subsequent HUs have identical content, the system proposes the same data for the next pallet.

  6. Depending on the configuration, the system automatically posts goods receipt when the HU is received or when the putaway is confirmed.

    The system sends the goods receipt to SAP ERP.

  7. You put away the HU.

    Depending on the configuration, the system automatically creates the putaway warehouse order when the HU is received or when you scan the HU from the source bin to put it away.

  8. You use RF transaction Putaway by HU to confirm the putaway into the final bin.

Alternative Procedures

If you want to receive HUs that do not have identical contents, you have the following options:

  • To receive HUs that contain different products for the same manufacturing order, for example, pallets of finished products and pallets of by-products, you can use the RF transaction Receive HU by EAN.

    You scan each HU barcode individually to identify the contents of the HU.

  • To receive HUs that belong to different manufacturing orders, for example, different manufacturing orders arriving from the same production line, you can use the RF transaction Receive HU by Order.

    You enter the manufacturing order number for each HU.

  • If you want to put away the products immediately, you can use the RF transaction Receive HU by Order with Putaway.
