Clear (SAP Library - EH&S Waste Management)

Clear

Use

You use this function to clear a posted waste quantity from inventory management in the SAP Materials Management component, and if required from Warehouse Management in the SAP Logistics Execution component too, from Waste Management and at the same time create a purchase order with items assigned to an account for the disposal.

Note

If you do not use inventory management and only want to order the disposal, execute the purchase order function. You can also find more information about creating a purchase order there.

Integration

For the purchase order created, you can use the corresponding functions in the SAP components Purchasing and Controlling as for any other purchase order.

Prerequisites

You have processed the IMG activity Set Inventory Management in Waste Management in Customizing for Waste Management and specified the required movement types.

You have posted the waste quantities to inventory management, in other words you have executed the post function for the entry documents.

The prerequisites required for executing the purchase order are fulfilled (see the Prerequisites section in Purchase Order).

Features

A purchase order with items assigned to an account for the disposal as described under Purchase Order is created.

The waste quantity is cleared from inventory management in accordance with the data in the entry document ( stock type, plant, storage location); a material document is created.

If you have specified the warehouse number, storage type, and storage bin in the entry document, the waste quantity is cleared from the specified storage bin in Warehouse Management. The corresponding quant is deleted or the quantity of the quant is reduced. The waste quantity is cleared directly from the specified storage bin; no transfer requirement or transfer order is created. For more information, see the Warehouse Management documentation, for example The Quant and Stock Management in WM or The Warehouse Structure in WM.

Note

If you want a transfer requirement and transfer order to be created, you must specify a function module for the application function clear that carries out these operations when waste quantities are cleared. You specify the function module in the IMG activity Specify Application Functions in Customizing for Waste Management.

A follow-on document record is created (see Automatic Creation of Follow-On Document Records).
