Work Center Determination in Goods Issue 

Use

In Extended Warehouse Management (EWM), you can have the system determine a work center in goods issue. You can specify various criteria for this determination.

Prerequisites

In Customizing for EWM, you have set the Determine WkCtr indicator in the used warehouse order creation rule, under Extended Warehouse Management ® Cross-Process Settings ® Warehouse Order ® Define Creation Rule for Warehouse Orders.

Features

You can define the following criteria for the determination:

●      Warehouse number

●      Route

●      Activity area

●      Consolidation group

If you have set the indicator Determine WkCtr in the used warehouse order creation rule, EWM uses your criteria during warehouse order creation. You can specify any number of criteria for the determination. EWM first attempts to find a work center matching your criteria. If it cannot find a work center, it uses the optimization that you have specified in Customizing for EWM under Extended Warehouse Management ® Master Data ® Work Center ® Optimize Work Center Determination in Goods Issue.

You also specify at least the storage bin for the work center determination. You can also specify the storage type or storage section.

●      If you specify the storage type or storage section, the storage type must have the storage type role Work center. If you only specify a storage type, this has to have the putaway rule Consolidation Group. EWM checks these settings when you save your details.

●      If you do not specify a storage type or storage section, EWM determines these values when you save your details.

Activities

On the SAP Easy Access screen, choose Extended Warehouse Management ® Master Data ® Work Center ® Determine Work Center in Goods Issue (/SCWM/PACKSTDT).

Result

EWM analyzes the details that you enter here. EWM assigns the determined destination data storage type, storage section and storage bin to the warehouse tasks that it bundles using the warehouse order creation rule used here. This enables you to have the system determine a special work center for packing, depending on the route, for example.
