Stock Identification When Splitting Stock in the GI Process 

Purpose

You can also use stock identification when splitting stock for packing in the goods issue process (GI process). Here, Extended Warehouse Management (EWM) creates new warehouse tasks (WTs) with new stock identifications. You can print labels showing the new stock identifications.

Prerequisites

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

Process

The process flow for using stock identification corresponds with the process flow for splitting WTs, in other words, that EWM creates a new stock identification for every stock that is split (see also Stock Identification When Splitting Warehouse Tasks.)

EWM only assigns the same stock identification as in the stock to the WT that was created last and confirmed immediately.

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

       1.      If, while you are repacking products you realize that instead of being able to pack ten pieces of a product in an HU (HU1, for example) you are only able to pack four pieces for example, you must carry out a stock split. You can carry out the stock split during repacking, thereby repacking with WTs that have been confirmed immediately.

       2.      You reduce the default quantity from ten pieces to four pieces.

       3.      For repacking, EWM creates an immediately confirmed WT (2002, for example) with a new stock identification (AND19898, for example) with the partial quantity of four pieces.

       4.      For repacking, EWM also creates an immediately confirmed WT (3003, for example) with the remaining quantity of six pieces with the original stock identification (ANDI1001, for example). This ensures unique stock identification.

       5.      You print new labels for both stock identifications and apply them.
