Document that uses Extended Warehouse Management (EWM) to execute goods movements. Logical or physical goods movements or even stock changes can be the basis for a warehouse task. These include:
● Picks
● Putaways
● Internal goods movements
● Posting changes
● Goods receipt postings
● Goods issue postings
You create the warehouse task either with reference to a warehouse request or without a reference document, for example for internal goods movements.
The following figure shows the different warehouse tasks for products and handling units (HUs):
You or the system use product warehouse tasks, for example, for deconsolidation and handling unit warehouse tasks, for example, for unloading.
You can identify the type of the warehouse task from the warehouse process type in the warehouse task. For more information about the simultaneous use of product warehouse tasks and handling unit warehouse tasks, see Pick Point.
EWM also submits hazardous substance texts in the warehouse task.
When you confirm a warehouse task, you can also perform a physical inventory at the same time. Here, EWM can work with the low-stock physical inventory.
