  Stock Identification When Splitting Warehouse Tasks

Purpose

You can also use stock identification for putaway when splitting stock for in the goods receipt process when splitting stock (GR process)and in the goods issue process (GI process). Here, Extended Warehouse Management (EWM) creates WTs with new stock identifications. You can print labels showing the new stock identifications.

Prerequisites

See Stock Identification in the GR and GI Processes and Using Stock Identification .

Process

When you confirm a WT with a partial quantity, a WT split occurs. EWM assigns a new stock identification to the split quantity. The following figure provides an overview of the use of stock identification when splitting a WT in the GR and GI processes.

  1. You have packed stock into a handling unit (HU), for example, HU1.

  2. You only confirm part of the stock in the corresponding WT. For example, only six pieces fit into HU1 instead of the required ten.

    1. You only confirm six pieces in the WT, for example WT 1001/001, .

    2. Depending on your Customizing settings, EWM splits the WT and creates a new WT (such as 1001/002) with four pieces for the remaining quantity.

    3. EWM assigns a new stock identification (such as AND198898) to the confirmed WT. This means that the two different stocks have two separate stock identifications to ensure unique stock identification.

      Note Note

      EWM only retains the same stock identification as in the original WT for the WT that was confirmed last.

      End of the note.

  3. You confirm WT 1001/002.

  4. You print new labels for both stock identifications and apply them.
