 Outbound Delivery Split for Kits

Purpose

You can split kit header items in warehouse requests for outbound delivery orders to then copy the entire kit to an outbound delivery. You perform an item split, for example, if you want to ship finished kits before the remaining kits have been completed.

The process flow is the same as for standard outbound delivery items. However, Extended Warehouse Management ( EWM ) supports you, for example, by calculating the kit component quantities automatically (see Delivery Quantity Correlation for Kits ).

Note Note

You can only split entire kits. You cannot split kit component items or replaced kit component items.

You cannot perform a batch split for the kit header item or a replaced kit component item.

End of the note.

Prerequisites

  • An outbound delivery with kit header items and kit component items exists.

  • The quantity of the kit header item is greater than one.

  • All kit component items are completely picked.

  • If the system is to automatically generate an HU item for the kit header in the pick-handling unit (pick-HU), set the Create Kit Header Item indicator in Customizing . For more information about the packing profile, see the Implementation Guide (IMG) for Extended Warehouse Management (EWM) under Start of the navigation path Goods Issue Process Next navigation step Outbound Delivery Next navigation step Define EWM-Specific Settings for Item Types. End of the navigation path

Process

Item Split for Unpacked Kits

  1. You select the warehouse request for the outbound delivery order. To do this, on the SAP Easy Access screen, choose Start of the navigation path Extended Warehouse Management Next navigation step Delivery Processing Next navigation step Outbound Delivery Next navigation step Maintain Outbound Delivery Order. End of the navigation path

  2. You select the kit header item and split the warehouse request for the outbound delivery order. To do this, first choose Subitem and the Split Up Outbound Delivery .

  3. You specify the number of kit header items that are to be generated.

  4. EWM copies the kit, that is, it generates new kit header items and kit component items that are the same as the original kit in EWM .

  5. You specify the delivery quantity in the kit header items and confirm your entries by choosing ENTER.

  6. EWM calculates the kit component quantities automatically (see Delivery Quantity Correlation for Kits ).

  7. You can copy each of the split kits to one separate outbound delivery.

Item Split for Packed Kits

  1. You select the warehouse request for the outbound delivery order. To do this, on the SAP Easy Access screen, choose Start of the navigation path Extended Warehouse Management Next navigation step Delivery Processing Next navigation step Outbound Delivery Next navigation step Maintain Outbound Delivery Order. End of the navigation path

  2. You choose the HU tab page and select all the HUs that you want to ship in advance.

  3. You create new split items. To do this, first choose Split Item and then Create .

  4. EWM aggregates the quantities of the packed kits using the HU dummy item.

  5. EWM copies the kit, that is, it generates new kit header items and kit component items matching the original kit in EWM and automatically sets the quantities in these new kit items .

  6. You can now copy the split kit to one separate outbound delivery.

Results

You have performed an outbound delivery split and generated split kits. You can ship these kits by generating an outbound delivery for each of the new kit header items.
