Goods Issue 
Purpose
A goods issue from Extended Warehouse Management (EWM) is a physical departure of products from your warehouse. With a goods issue posting, you reduce the stock in the warehouse. You can use a goods issue to indicate goods deliveries to your customers.
A warehouse request goods issue allows you to display your complex stock removal process steps and includes the following functions:
● Storage Bin Determination for Stock Removal
● Packing
● Loading
When you display the goods issue process using a warehouse request, you can execute the warehouse-internal processes that precede the actual goods issue, such as picking or packing, within the warehouse before you trigger the actual goods issue posting.
The goods issue takes into account your warehouse arrangements, such as stock removal using pick points from a high rack storage area, as well as the process-oriented rules and procedures defined by you, such as packing during warehouse task confirmation. To simplify the search for appropriate stock, EWM offers you stock removal strategies.
You can remove your products from stock either directly or by using storage control.
You can only execute complex stock removal processes by using handling units.
You can use the warehouse request to automatically trigger the goods issue processing. To do this, you use the warehouse task as the main document upon which you display all goods movements in EWM.
For more information, see Warehouse Req.- Type Inbound Del. or Outbound Del. Order.

Process
...
...
1. EWM receives a goods issue request from another system, for example an SAP system.
2. EWM creates a warehouse request of the type outbound delivery order, which is the starting point for the goods issue.
EWM recognizes, on the item level of the warehouse request, which delivery items are relevant for stock removal with EWM.
For more information, see Generating a Warehouse Request of Type Outbound Delivery Order.
The availability check for the goods issue takes place on the level of the prestored components. EWM does not carry out an independent availability check, but instead assumes a purely executional function.
3. You create a warehouse request for the warehouse request for picking from your warehouse.
When you create a warehouse task, the system creates corresponding warehouse orders. These warehouse orders group the warehouse tasks in accordance with the rules defined in Customizing. This means that you receive individual work packages that a worker is to carry out at a certain time (see Warehouse Order Creation).
○ You can create the warehouse task directly or let EWM create it automatically.
EWM can create warehouse tasks in the following manner:
■ By default, directly through the release of a wave
■ Automatically, using a Post Processing Framework (PPF) action
○ You can create the warehouse tasks manually.
For more information, see Creation of Warehouse Tasks for Warehouse Request, Creation of Warehouse Tasks for Stock Removal, or Wave Management.
○ You can take into account batch information when creating warehouse tasks for picking.
If you have not determined the batches to be picked in the warehouse request, and you want to pick one or more batches to cover the required quantity completely, you must verify these batches to the outbound delivery. In doing so, you create a new warehouse request item for each batch.
4. You either print the warehouse request with the warehouse tasks as a list, or you print all individual documents at once. If you remove the goods from the determined source storage bins to the goods issue interface, you can use this printout as the picking document.
For more information, see Printing Warehouse Orders and Warehouse Tasks.
5. Once you have completed the picking, you confirm the warehouse tasks.
6. You carry out further goods issue activities, such as packing or loading.
7. For each goods issue activity, EWM creates a separate warehouse task, which you confirm after you have completed the physical activity.
With this confirmation, you confirm that you have brought the goods to the goods issue interface.
This records any stock differences between the required and the picked quantity.
For more information, see Handling Differences When Picking for Warehouse Request.
8. You then post the goods issue for the warehouse request.
EWM updates the activity status when a step of the warehouse task processing has been completed. You can inform yourself about the outbound delivery status during the entire goods issue process.
For more information, see Creation of Warehouse Tasks for Warehouse Request.
Using Storage Control
For more information about goods issue processes using storage control, see Storage Control, Layout-Oriented Storage Control , or Process-Oriented Storage Control.
Result
EWM reduces the storage bin stock in the source storage bin by the picked product quantity and posts this quantity to the destination storage bin.
