Confirming Warehouse Tasks with Predetermined Serial Numbers 

Use

If you are working with serial numbers in warehouse tasks, you can confirm these warehouse tasks in the foreground, background or immediately, as in the 'normal' goods issue process.

Features

Confirmation in the Foreground

If you confirm a warehouse task in the foreground, EWM displays the corresponding predetermined serial number and regards it as your user input. If you want to confirm serial number sin the foreground, on the SAP Easy Access screen, choose Extended Warehouse Management ® Execution ® Confirm Warehouse Task and then the Confirm in Foreground pushbutton. If you only partially confirm a warehouse task, you can delete the unnecessary serial numbers. To do so, go to the detail view for the item on the Serial Number tab page.

If you have implemented Business Add-In (BAdI) /SCWM/EX_CORE_CO_SN_FORCE in such a way that the user must explicitly specify a serial number during confirmation, EWM does not display any predetermined serial numbers. You must then enter these manually, for example by scanning.

Confirmation in the Background

If you or EWM confirm a warehouse task with predetermined serial numbers in the background, EWM checks the serial numbers of the warehouse task. If the confirmed serial numbers correspond to the predetermined serial numbers, EWM saves the confirmed serial numbers in the warehouse task and in the corresponding outbound delivery order. You can display these in the outbound delivery order.

Immediate Confirmation

If you confirm a warehouse task immediately, EWM uses the serial numbers in the same way as during 'normal' warehouse task creation. EWM checks whether the outbound delivery quantity of the warehouse task is fully serialized. If so, EWM confirms the warehouse task immediately. If serial numbers are only predetermined for a partial quantity in the outbound delivery order, you can only carry out immediate confirmation for warehouse tasks that are either fully serialized or for which EWM can determine the serial numbers. When confirming the warehouse task, you must specify serial numbers for all other warehouse tasks for which EWM cannot fully determine serial numbers (see Warehouse Task Creation with Reference to a Warehouse Request).

If you have implemented the BAdI /SCWM/EX_CORE_CO_SN_FORCE in such a way that the user must enter serial numbers for warehouse task confirmation then EWM cannot confirm the warehouse task immediately. You must create the warehouse task first. When you subsequently confirm the warehouse task, you can specify the required serial numbers.
