Some subsequent processing functions call up other transactions in the batch input procedure. By choosing
, you can define whether subsequent processing should be carried out in the foreground, background, or foreground only when errors occur.All functions except for confirmation are available in all selection types, which allows the individual scenarios for processing deliveries to run smoothly.
Depending on the selection type, you may also be able to call up the most important subsequent functions using the F6, F7 and F8 function keys.

Note |
Creating a group |
|
The selected deliveries are combined into a group, either with or without WM reference Specify the group type (the system presents a default which is dependent on the selection type). Then, you can enter a descriptive text. If you create a group in WM, you must also enter the warehouse number. The group is created when you pressENTER. If the grouping was successful, the processed deliveries appear green; if errors occurred, they appear red. Note If group output processing is available for the group type you chose, the system requires an exclusive lock for the deliveries involved. This way, it can make sure that none of the deliveries are currently being processed (otherwise, picking lists cannot refresh the delivery properly). This may be the explanation if a message appears stating that the deliveries in question cannot be locked. End of the note. |
Creating a wave pick |
|
A wave pick is created for the selected deliveries. After choosing this function, you can enter a descriptive text. The wave pick is created when you press ENTER. If the wave pick cannot be created, the system either issues an error message or goes to the transaction for displaying collective processing logs. |
Creating transfer orders |
|
This function is available for both inbound and outbound deliveries. If you have set subsequent processing to
If the transfer order creation was successful, the processed deliveries appear green; if errors occurred, they appear red. Deliveries that are not relevant for processing in WM appear dark gray. The system needs the delivery item information in order to create transfer orders. If necessary, the delivery items must first be read and added to the system information (by switching to the item view of the list). |

|
Post goods issue (outbound deliveries only) |
|
You can set the actual goods movement date. If the goods issue posting was successful, the processed deliveries appear green; if errors occurred, they appear red. The delivery also appears in green if goods issue was already posted for the delivery in question (because the same delivery was accidentally selected twice, for example). |
Post goods receipt (inbound deliveries only) |
|
The procedure is similar to posting goods issue. You can set the actual goods receipt date. |
Create billing document (outbound deliveries only) |
|
Individual billing documents are created for the selected deliveries, one after another. The documents are not combined like they are in collective processing for billing documents. |
Output processing |
|
You can define a default for the output that is to be processed on the initial screen. Unless specified otherwise, the given output type is processed when you carry out the subsequent functions of delivery output, picking output or group output for the selected deliveries. You can define the processing mode (first, repeat, or error processing) before group or delivery outputs are carried out. To change your output selection, choose

You can use some of the delivery monitor components for collective background processing of large quantities of documents. To do so, enter a selection variant for the report and then schedule it for background processing.
You can also initiate background processing directly from the report's selection screen. Enter your selection criteria and parameters and choose
Background processing triggers subsequent processing for all documents selected, but it does not issue lists. When processing is complete, a list of documents and their processing status (successful or with errors) appears in the spool.
Report WS_MONITOR_OUTB_DEL_GDSI is for goods issue posting for all documents that were selected. The actual goods issue date can be set using the appropriate field on the selection screen. You can also schedule this report as a job using Posting Goods issue with Collective Processing ).
Report WS_MONITOR_OUTB_DEL_PICK is for creating WM transfer orders. You can specify the parameters for creating transfer orders (

and
Adopt pick quantity
) on the
Control background processing
section of the selection screen.
Report WS_MONITOR_OUTB_DEL_CONF is for confirming picking orders. You can set the
Adopt pick quantity
parameter in the selection screen (see previous point).
Report WS_MONITOR_OUTB_DEL_FREE is for processing individual outputs and picking outputs (such as delivery notes or picking lists). All output types specified on the selection screen that appears under
Output selection
are then processed for the selected deliveries. For technical reasons, this type of background processing only results in a message informing you which documents were processed, but does not include whether they were processed successfully.
