Definition

Location in the warehouse where the goods arrive at or leave the warehouse. The door is an organizational unit that you assign to the warehouse number.

Vehicles and their transportation units (TUs) drive up to the doors of a warehouse to load or unload goods there. The doors are in close proximity to the relevant staging areas.

Use

To control putaway and stock removal processes in your warehouse, you can define doors and staging areas within a warehouse number.

You can assign various functions to a door:

      Inbound

      Outbound

      Inbound and outbound

In delivery processing, the system uses determination rules to determine the following for each delivery item:

      Staging area groups

      Staging areas

      Staging bays

      Doors

The determination rules are influenced by the possible assignments that you have defined in Customizing between doors and staging areas as well as between doors and staging area/door determination groups. The system updates the delivery at item level with the values that it finds.

You define doors in Customizing for Extended Warehouse Management (EWM) under Master Data ® Warehouse Door ® Define Warehouse Door. You assign staging areas and staging area/door determination groups to your doors under Master Data ® Warehouse Door.

Structure

You assign each door to a storage bin that you can use to post goods receipts or goods issues. You assign this storage bin to a storage type with the storage type role F.

You can also assign doors to supply chain units to control authorization checks. You can also assign doors to yard bins (see Yard Management).
