Switch Off Printing

Warehouse task (WT) printing and handling unit (HU) printing are called during WT creation and WT confirmation. The function modules call the Post Processing Framework (PPF) which reads the relevant Customizing and calls the schedule condition for all active PPF actions. The schedule condition checks whether the warehouse process type or the packaging material type has a determination procedure from the assigned condition technique. If there is one, the condition technique is called, and based on the result the system determines whether or not to print.

If you know that you will never use printing as part of this process, you can control whether or not the PPF is called.

The queue has a field (QUEUE_PRINT) for setting up printing during WT creation and confirmation. The field has the following possible values:

You can change the value of this field in Customizing for Extended Warehouse Management under  Cross-Process Settings Resource Management Define Queues .

The resource has a similar field (RSRC_PRINT) with the following values:

You can change the value of this field on the SAP Easy Access screen under  Extended Warehouse Management Master Data Resource Management Maintain Resource .

Create Pick-HU Warehouse Tasks Asynchronously

The system creates the pick-HU WT from the resource to the destination bin when confirming the first pick WT into the HU. To improve the response time of the WT confirmation step, this is carried out asynchronously in an RFC queue. The queue name consists of the prefix WMTR followed by the HU number.

The asynchronous warehouse task creation can fail if, for example, the destination bin for the pick-HU is blocked. For more information, see Error Handling.
