Archiving Door Activities (SCM-EWM-SR) 

Definition

Archiving object WME_DOOR for archiving and deleting door activities, in other words, shipping and receiving activities for doors (door activities).

Structure

Tables

Extended Warehouse Management (EWM) uses the archiving object WME_DOOR to archive data from the following tables:

Table	Description	Explanation
/SCWM/DOOR_SRACT	S&R Activities of a Door	This database table contains start dates/times and end dates/times. Each door activity is defined by its start date/time and end date/time.
/SCWM/TDOOR	Door Definition with Assignment to Staging Areas and Yard	This database table contains a master data record with the data for the door itself. This data does not refer to the individual door activities.

Programs

The following programs are available for WME_DOOR:

Program	Function
WME_ARCH_DOOR_MARK	Mark only (preprocessing program)
WME_ARCH_DOOR_WRITE	Write only
WME_ARCH_DOOR_MARK_AND_WRITE	Mark and write
WME_ARCH_DOOR_DELETE	Delete
WME_ARCH_DOOR_READ	Read and display

Write

Before the system writes door activities to archive files, it changes the status from Archivable to Archived. You can no longer process archived door activities. The system archives only the relevant door data for each door activity.

Prerequisites for writing door activities

Door activities must have the status Archivable in order for the system to be able to archive them. The system flags a door activity with the status Archivable if the following conditions have been met:

●     The activity end was at least 60 days ago (fixed value).

●     No transportation units (TUs) are assigned to the door activity any more.

Delete

After writing the archive files, the system performs a test run where it reads the data in the archive files and compares it with the data in the database. If it does not find any differences, the system deletes the database data.

Although the system always archives the door master data (/SCWM/TDOOR), it never deletes it from the database (door data is Customizing data).

Read

The system uses the selection options to search for suitable activity data in the data sources. The following table shows the selection criteria available:

Text	Table	Field
Warehouse Number	/SCWM/DOOR_SRACT	LGNUM
Door Number	/SCWM/DOOR_SRACT	DOOR
Actual Activity Start	/SCWM/DOOR_SRACT	START_ACTUAL
Actual Activity End	/SCWM/DOOR_SRACT	END_ACTUAL

You can choose the following data sources:

●     Database

●     Archive file chosen manually

●     Archive Information System (AS)

If you choose all three data sources and the system has archived a door activity multiple times without deleting it, the system searches through the data sources in the following order:

...

       1.      The system reads the door activity from the database.

       2.      The system reads the door activity from the archive file chosen manually, as appropriate, and overwrites the version found previously.

       3.      The system uses the AS to search for the door activity in multiple archive files, reads it, and overwrites the version found previously.

The last data source that is found determines which data is displayed (in particular for the door master data).

Display

A list of the door activities found is displayed. The cursor position determines the current door activity. You can use the Details pushbutton to display this current door activity as a form.

Only fields for which you have defined values are displayed in this form. The system suppresses fields with initial field values.

You can display the following dependent data for the current door activity:

●     Data record with general door data (Door Master Data pushbutton)

●     Assignments of the door activity to one or more shipping and receiving activities for transportation units (TUs) (TU Assignments pushbutton)

You can use the Door Activities pushbutton to return to the activity table.

If you double-click the individual pushbuttons, you can display all the data records read, irrespective of the current door activity. You can use the Details pushbutton to display the data in the format of a form.

Variant Settings for Preprocessing

As the selection criterion, you can specify either the warehouse number or the number of days that must have passed since the door activities were completed (default value: 60 days).

Integration
