 Updating the Inbound Delivery in the GR Process

Use

Extended Warehouse Management (EWM) updates the inbound delivery corresponding to the goods receipt activities. For the goods receipt process (GR process), EWM maps the warehouse with the goods receipt and interior of the warehouse areas. This allows EWM to determine the point in time from when a putaway is planned, that is, from when a warehouse activity exceeds the limit for the interior of the warehouse. The following information belongs to the goods receipt area:

Transportation units (TUs)

Storage bins at warehouse doors

Staging area groups

All storage types that do not correspond to goods receipt belong to the interior of the warehouse area. For example:

Work centers

Identification points

Final storage types

EWM updates the statuses Unloading Putaway Planning and Putaway in the inbound delivery, corresponding to this warehouse mapping.
