Pickup and Account Assignment 

Use

Extended Warehouse Management (EWM) supports goods issue for the pickup. Goods issue for the pickup can be planned or unplanned.

Integration

If you work with a planned pickup, you generate an outbound delivery in SAP ERP. SAP ERP sends this to EWM. EWM generates a corresponding outbound delivery order. This contains the account assignment information from SAP ERP. You cannot change this account assignment information in EWM.

If you work with an unplanned pickup, you generate a direct outbound delivery order in EWM. EWM transmits this to SAP ERP. SAP ERP generates a corresponding outbound delivery that contains the account assignment information from EWM. You can change the account assignment information in EWM.

You can assign one or more account assignments to a delivery item. In account assignment, you define account assignment objects that are posted during an outbound delivery for a product that goes directly to consumption.

Prerequisites

●      You have defined the account assignment categories in Customizing for EWM. If you want to use a particular account assignment category for planned or unplanned goods issues with accounts assigned in a warehouse number, you have assigned this to a warehouse number. For more information, see the Implementation Guide (IMG) for EWM under Goods Issue Process ® Outbound Delivery ® Define Account Assignment Category and Allow in Warehouse Number.

You can also perform planned goods issues with account assignment without an assignment such as this. Although no account assignment category is then saved in the outbound delivery order, EWM posts the goods movement on the account assignment object.

●      If you want to work with unplanned goods issues, you have retrieved the data of the relevant account assignment object from SAP ERP in Customizing for EWM (Administration of Account Assignment Data).

●      You have defined a process profile for the pickup in Customizing for EWM. For more information, see the IMG for EWM under Cross-Process Settings ® Delivery Processing ® Process Management and Control.

●      You have defined a status profile for the pickup in Customizing for EWM. For more information, see the IMG for EWM under Cross-Process Settings ® Delivery Processing  ® Status Management  ® Define Status Profiles.

●      You have assigned the process profile for the pickup to a document type in Customizing for EWM. For more information, see the IMG for EWM under Goods Issue Process ® Outbound Delivery ® Manual Settings ® Define Document Types for Outbound Delivery Process.

●      In Customizing for EWM, you have defined your own document and item types for each of your processes, such as document type OPIG Outbound delivery order for pickup and item type ODPG Standard item outbound delivery for pickup.

●      In Customizing for EWM, you have defined the used document type as relevant for the pickup, in the process profile. For more information, see the IMG for EWM under Cross-Process Settings ® Delivery Processing  ® Process Management and Control  ® Define Process Profile for Delivery Document Header. EWM only shows you the documents of the used document types in the input help for direct sales and for goods issue with account assignment.

For more information, see the documentation for Business Configuration Set (BC Set) /SCWM/DLV_OUTBOUND_DIRODO_1 and /SCWM/DLV_OUTBOUND_DIRODO_2. On the SAP Easy Access screen, choose Tools ® Customizing ® Business Configuration Sets ® SCPR3 – Display and Maintain BC Sets.

Features

●      Unplanned pickup

You can create, change, or delete the account assignment information in unplanned outbound delivery orders for the pickup until goods issue has been posted.

When you create or change a direct outbound delivery order, EWM performs a validation and displays any warning messages accordingly. The validation checks the type of account assignment category and its uniqueness for each delivery item. It also checks the type of the existing account assignment object. If you are using more than one account assignment object for a delivery item, only one account assignment object is permitted to be non-static. This is to avoid a duplicate allocation. The account assignment object always refers to the complete delivery quantity of a delivery item. It does not consider partial quantities.

●      Planned pickup

You cannot create, change, or delete the account assignment data in planned outbound delivery orders for the pickup.

EWM performs a validation when it activates a planned outbound delivery request, to provide you with information. The validation checks the type of account assignment category and its uniqueness for each delivery item. It also checks the type of the existing account assignment object. Here, only one account assignment object is permitted to be non-static. This is to avoid a duplicate allocation.

You can request account assignment data using a report from SAP ERP periodically (Administration of Account Assignment Data).

You can use Business Add-In (BAdI) BAdI: Validation of Account Assignment Data of Delivery Item, to implement additional checks. For more information, see the IMG for EWM under Business Add-Ins (BAdIs) for Extended Warehouse Management ® Cross-Process Settings ® Delivery Processing ® Validation Within Delivery ® BAdI: Validation of Account Assignment Data of Delivery Item.

EWM prints out the account assignment data on the delivery note (Printing Delivery Notes).

You can specify the print profile to influence the printer selection. On the SAP Easy Access screen, choose Extended Warehouse Management ® Delivery Processing ® Outbound Delivery ® Pickup. Choose  with the quick info Default Values, and specify a print profile. For more information, see Printer Determination in Delivery Processing and Print Profile Determination for Invoice Printout.
