Performing Scrapping 

Use

You can use this function in the following scenarios:

●      Scrapping within the warehouse, if a product is to be disposed of from the warehouse (for example, defective or obsolete product)

●      Scrapping within a returns process

Here you can process warehouse-internal or warehouse-external decisions to scrap a product.

Integration

Only the scrapping triggered outside the warehouse, such as from SAP ERP, has reference to a preceding document (delivery request document). For these types of scrapping, Extended Warehouse Management (EWM) sends a delivery output to SAP ERP. For scrapping triggered outside the warehouse, EWM sends a delivery message or goods movement message to SAP ERP:

Features

●      For warehouse-internal processing of products to be scrapped, you create a warehouse request for the posting change. The system thus posts the products to the blocked stock. From there, you can clear the products through goods issue. EWM can execute the goods issue with or without the corresponding outbound delivery document.

●      EWM processes the scrapping in the returns process with a returns delivery, inspection lots, and inspection results. You can trigger the scrapping warehouse-internally in EWM, or warehouse-externally, for example with SAP Customer Relationship Management. A warehouse worker in the quality department can use an inspection procedure to carry out the decision to scrap a product. Based on the inspection results, he or she can decide whether a product is still to be used or should be scrapped.

Activities

●      You move the products to be scrapped from the different storage bins to a scrapping handling unit (scrapping HU). This represents an internal stock movement that is triggered by the following:

○       Warehouse-internal decision, for example, by a warehouse worker in the quality department

○       Warehouse-external decision when a scrapping message is sent

●      At the same time, EWM posts the quantity to be scrapped as blocked stock. In other words, it carries out a posting change. EWM uses a warehouse request for the posting change for this step. You can use this warehouse request for the posting change during wave creation.

●      You book the goods issue (GI) for the scrapping HU. EWM can execute the GI with the corresponding outbound delivery document. EWM can also execute the GI without a corresponding outbound delivery document. This represents a GI posting without delivery.
