Warehouse Order 

Definition

Document that represents an executable work package that a warehouse employee should perform at a specific time. The warehouse order consists of warehouse tasks or physical inventory items.

Use

When you move products, in other words you or Extended Warehouse Management (EWM) create warehouse tasks, then EWM groups these warehouse tasks together into warehouse orders, and makes them available for processing.

When you perform a physical inventory, in other words you create physical inventory items, EWM also groups these physical inventory items together into warehouse orders.

You can adjust the scope and type of a warehouse order using the warehouse order creation rules that you have defined in Customizing.

For more information about warehouse order creation rules, see the Implementation Guide (IMG) for EWM under Cross-Process Settings ® Warehouse Order ® Define Creation Rule for Warehouse Orders.

Integration

The warehouse groups together warehouse tasks or physical inventory items.

Example

EWM creates warehouse tasks for an outbound delivery with four delivery items. EWM uses warehouse order creation to assign the resulting four warehouse tasks to a new warehouse order. A warehouse employee receives this warehouse order as a work package to pick the items listed in the delivery.
