  Yard Movement

Use

Yard movements enable you to move transportation units  (TUs) from one yard binto another inside a yard. Possible types of yard movement are as follows:

The TU arrives at the checkpoint and is moved to a parking space or to the door.

You move a TU from a parking space to the door, or from the door to a parking space.

You move a TU within the yard, from one parking space to another, or from one door to another.

You map each TU using an empty handling unit (HU) which is described as a HU for the TU and is moved during the yard movement.

Prerequisites

See Yard Management

For you to be able to move TUs in the yard, the following conditions must be fulfilled:

You have posted goods receipt for the HU for the TU (for arrival at the checkpoint).

The TU must have the status Active (for arrival at the checkpoint).

Features

Each time you want to move a TU in the yard, you have to create a warehouse task (WT) manually. To do this, you use the standard functions for creating and confirming WTs.

The following figure shows the relationship between a TU and the relevant HU for the TU. This relationship is 1:1.

For yard movements, the HU for the TU always remains empty, meaning you can never pack the contents of the TU (deliveries with HUs and unpacked products) into an HU for the TU. If you move the HU for the TU in the yard, the system considers only the packaging material, that is, the HU, from a stock point of view, whereas the related stock does not follow every movement.

WTs for yard movements are always HU WTs. The system does not use product WTs because quantities are not considered in yard movements. For more information about HU WTs and product WTs, see Ad Hoc Movement

Activities

To create and confirm a WT for a yard movement, on the SAP Easy Access screen, choose Extended Warehouse Management Goods Receipt and Shipping Yard Management Create Warehouse Task in Yard (/SCWM/YMOVE).

To get an overview of the situation in the yard, you can use the warehouse management monitor . You can also display stock for TUs there.

To display for example delivery items or deliveries that are assigned to the TU, you can use the transaction Maintain Transportation Unit (/SCWM/TU)
