Shipping: New Functions in Picking

Description

There are several new picking functions in Release 3.0:

Picking status

In Release 3.0, there is a new picking status for delivery items which are to be picked without MM-WM transfer orders. There is also a picking confirmation option for these items (see below).

Picking confirmation can be specified for each shipping point in Customizing. By making the appropriate settings, you can control that picking confirmation is mandatory for those items which are not picked using MM-WM transfer orders. This applies to all delivery items at a particular shipping point. If required, control can be carried out at item level in User exit FORM USEREXIT_LIPS-KOQUI_DETERMINE, program MV50AFZ3.

If an item requires confirmation, picking must be confirmed before goods issue is posted.

The following new statuses can be set in the same way as the MM-WM status:

- : item does not require confirmation

A : item requires confirmation, but is not yet confirmed

B : item is partially confirmed

C : item is completely confirmed

Picking confirmation

There is a picking confirmation option for delivery items to be picked without MM-WM transfer orders. The three options for the confirmation procedure are:

1. Picking request confirmation using a separate transaction
Items not requiring confirmation are confirmed as well. The system displays those items in the picking request which have been printed in the picking list. Different quantities and batch and valuation types may be confirmed.
2. Confirmation in delivery processing
Picking can be confirmed for individual items or for the entire delivery in delivery processing. This is particularly important if, for example, serial numbers must also be confirmed.
3. Confirmation from subsystems using intermediate documents or function modules
Picking can be carried out from subsystems using the REMOTE function call (SD_DELIVERY_UPDATE_PICKING) or by means of intermediate documents using ALE (Application Link Enabling).

Picking request

In Release 3.0, a picking request number is assigned to the picking list. When you print a single picking list, the system will assign a picking request number from number range 01 in the number range object SD_PICKING.

Collective picking list

In Release 3.0, you can carry out collective picking for a group of deliveries and print a collective picking list.

A number from number range 02 is determined when you print the collective picking list (new group output in Release 3.0).

Change system parameters in customizing

Number ranges 01 and 02 must be set up for number range object SD_PICKING. You can define whether confirmation is required for the shipping point.
