In
Extended Warehouse Management
(
EWM
), you can subject complete inbound deliveries that are transit procedure relevant to a transit procedure. In doing so, you can ensure that the customs authority issues an unloading permission for the vehicles with the goods to be delivered.
You have defined reference document categories in Customizing for
EWM
under
You have assigned these reference document categories that correspond to the previous document types you use to a transit procedure and have set the
TrsPrcRel
(transit procedure relevance) indicator.You do this in Customizing for
EWM
under
In the case of inbound deliveries that are relevant to transit procedures, you find the previous document numberand previous document type in the transportation papers for the vehicle. You enter these manually in the inbound delivery as the reference document number and reference document category.
SAP ERP can also send an advanced shipping notification to
EWM
that already contains the previous document number and previous document type. In this case, you can change the previous document number and previous document type in the user interface.
Based on the Customizing settings for the previous document type,
EWM
determines that the reference document number is a previous document number for which
EWM
must perform a transit procedure.
EWM
locks the inbound delivery to prevent additional
goods receipt process steps
from being performed, for example, posting goods receipt.
If the status type
Transit Status
does not have the status value
Registered in Yard
, you set this status manually. By doing so, you ensure that
EWM
informs
SAP Global Trade Services (SAP GTS)
about the inbound delivery. To do so, on the
SAP Easy Access
screen, choose
and then the
In Yard
pushbutton. In the dropdown menu, choose
Set Status
.
EWM
informs
SAP GTS
that an inbound delivery exists for which it must perform a transit procedure.
On the basis of this message,
SAP GTS
performs an EDI communication with the customs authority.
SAP GTS
asks the customs authority whether it is permitted to unload the vehicle. The customs authority sends a corresponding message to
SAP GTS.
If the customs authority allows the vehicle to be unloaded,
SAP GTS
sends a notification of the unloading permission to
EWM
.
EWM
sets the status type
Transit Procedure
of the inbound delivery to the status value
Released
and unlocks the inbound delivery for additional goods receipt process steps.
If the customs authority does not allow the vehicle to be unloaded because it is performing a customs inspection, unloading is delayed.
After the customs inspection,
SAP GTS
sends a notification with the unloading permission to
EWM
.
EWM
sets the status type
Transit Procedure
of the inbound delivery to
Released
and unlocks the inbound delivery for additional goods receipt process steps.
Note
You can only unload the vehicle and post goods receipt if the inbound delivery has the status value
Not Relevant
or
Released
for the status type
Transit Procedure
.
EWM
informs SAP ERP about the previous document number that you might have changed (see step 1).
You have performed a transit procedure for your inbound delivery. You unload the vehicle and perform additional goods receipt process steps, for example, you post the goods receipt.
