Example Make Settings for Exception Handling in CD Locate the document in its SAP Library structure

In Extended Warehouse Management (EWM), you use exception codes to describe exception situations in the warehouse. You can define an exception code for different document types, such as for inbound deliveries or outbound deliveries. When EWM executes an exception code, the execution always refers to exactly one business context (inbound or outbound delivery). Since EWM updates both the inbound and the outbound delivery for certain processes in cross-docking (CD) (Structure linkUpdating the Inbound Delivery in the GR Process, Structure linkUpdating the Outbound Delivery Order in the GI Process), an exception can have an effect on both the inbound and the outbound delivery at the same time. In the Customizing settings, you therefore define whether and how EWM is to adjust the inbound delivery quantities or outbound delivery quantities.

Customizing

To use exception handling in CD, you must make the following settings in Customizing:

      If you want an exception to adjust delivery quantities in CD, you have assigned a process code for the inbound delivery item type and outbound delivery item type when defining the exception code for Delivery Adjustment in Case of Differences. For example, you have assigned process code I002 Adjust to Maximum Quantity to item type IDLV for the inbound delivery, and process code O002 Adjust to Maximum Quantity to item type ODLV for the outbound delivery.

      If the item type does not correspond to the business context, you have also set the CD indicator for this item type. Doing this ensures that EWM also adjusts the delivery quantity of this item type.

Example

You confirm a pick-warehouse task (pick-WT) for a transportation cross-docking handling unit (TCD-HU). EWM proposes an HU. However, you notice that the proposed HU does not exist. For a case such as this, you have defined exception code DTCD for the business context TPI Whse Task: Confirm (Stock Removal) in the Customizing settings. You want EWM to use this exception code to adjust both the inbound delivery quantity and the outbound delivery quantity. You have therefore defined the following when defining the exception code for the Delivery Adjustment in Case of Differences:

        You have selected the CD indicator for the item type of the inbound delivery IDLV, since this item type does not belong to business context TPI Whse Task: Confirm (Stock Removal), rather to business context TPT Whse Task: Confirm (Putaway). You have also assigned process code I001, which refers to the inbound delivery, to this item type.

        You have not set the CD indicator for the item type of the outbound delivery ODLV, since this item type does belong to business context TPI Whse Task: Confirm (Stock Removal). You have also assigned process code I002, which refers to the outbound delivery, to this item type.
