Work Processing Using Radio Frequency.

In the warehouse management monitor, you can search for WTs for the stock identification and for stocks for the stock identification. For example, on the SAP Easy Acces Screen, choose Extended Warehouse Management ® Monitoring ® Warehouse Management Monitor. On this screen, choose Documents ® Warehouse Task in the navigation tree. Specify a stock identification in the Stock Identification field in the Warehouse Task screen area.

If you work with stock identification, we recommend that you create a user-defined index (Z index) for both the table for open warehouse tasks (/SCWM/ORDIM_O) and the table for stock (/SCWM/QUAN). This allows EWM to carry out faster search queries.
