Process-Oriented Storage Control 

Use

You use this type of storage control to map complex putaways or stock removals. In doing so, you combine your storage process steps into one storage process. You can also trace the status of the individual process steps.

Process-oriented storage control only operates with handling units.

Integration

For more information about integration, see Storage Control.

Prerequisites

For more information about the prerequisites, see Storage Control.

Features

You define the process steps for your complex storage process.

A process step is, for example, unloading, counting, or deconsolidating. Extended Warehouse Management (EWM) recognizes internal process steps predefined by SAP and external steps that you can define yourself. Your external process stesps can base themselves on internal ones.

In addition, internal or external process steps can be simple, such as unloading, or combined, such as deconsolidating.

For more information, see Direct and Combined Storage Control.

The process steps for the processes Counting and Deconsolidating predefined by SAP can be dynamic.

During goods receipt or goods issue, EWM copies the predefined process steps from the storage process type to the handling unit. EWM assigns these process steps to a handling unit as soon as it has created or changed them.
