Purpose

You can also use stock identification when splitting stock in the GR process. Here, Extended Warehouse Management (EWM) creates new putaway warehouse tasks (putaway WTs) with new stock identifications. For example, you receive a handling unit (HU) from a supplier, the contents of which has one stock identification. You want to put this HU away and you determine that this requires two destination storage bins.

Prerequisites

See Stock Identification in the GR and GI Processes and Using Stock Identification.

Process

The following figure provides an overview of the use of stock identification when splitting stock in the GR process.

This graphic is explained in the accompanying text

...

       1.      You receive an inbound delivery with an HU. For example, you receive an HU1 with ten pieces.

       2.      EWM creates the required putaway WTs in accordance with the putaway strategy, for example, putaway WT 4711 with six pieces and putaway WT 4712 with four pieces. If you do not confirm the putaway WTs immediately, both of them receive the available stock identification, for example, the stock identification ANDI1001 and a new target stock identification each, such as SPU24711 and SPU24712.

       3.      If you want to search for putaway WTs for a stock, you use the stock identification to search for the unconfirmed putaway WTs for a stock. EWM then displays all the corresponding, open putaway WTs. For example, you use the stock identification ANDI1001 to search for the corresponding putaway WTs. EWM displays the putaway WTs 4711 and 4712 as the result.

       4.      When you confirm the putaway WT during deconsolidation for example, you can still specify or scan the stock identification ANDI1001 that was printed on the original label. EWM then displays the options WT 4711 and WT 4712. You choose one WT and confirm it.  EWM then transfers the target stock identification to the stock. If you have not done so already, you must now print new labels with the new stock identifications and apply them.
