Object documentation Product Warehouse Task Locate the document in its SAP Library structure

Definition

Document that helps Extended Warehouse Management (EWM) move products. A product warehouse task (product WT) can be based on physical goods movements or changes in stock.

Use

The product WT contains all the information required to execute the physical transfer of products into the warehouse, out of the warehouse, or within the warehouse from one storage bin to another storage bin.

When you confirm a product WT, you inform EWM what you have processed this product WT and that the goods have arrived at their destination. If the planned quantity (target quantity) differs from the actual quantity of stock that is moved, a difference quantity exists. If you confirm a product WT with a difference, the system automatically posts the difference quantity to a “difference interface”.

Once confirmed, the product WTs also have a documentation function, since they document movements in the warehouse.

Structure

A product WT contains all necessary information about a goods movement to be executed.

·        What should be moved?

·        Which quantity should be moved?

·        From where (source storage bin) should the product be moved, and to where (destination storage bin)?

When you create a product WT, it consists of an item with the source storage bin and destination storage bin.

When you confirm a product WT, it consists of either an item with the source destination bin or destination storage bin, or it consists of more than one item in the case of partial confirmations.

·        For goods receipt postings, the product WT consists of an item that increases the stock.

·        For goods issue postings, the product WT consists of an item that decreases the stock.

·        For transfer postings, the product WT consists of two items. One item that decreases the stock, and one item that increases the stock.

·        In the case of partial confirmations, EWM creates one item for each partial confirmation. You create partial confirmations, for example, when you partially pick from a nested handling unit, or when you confirm different pick handling units.

A product WT reserves the quantities, so that these are no longer available for other product WTs.
