Function documentationIntegration of ERP Deliveries in Shipping and Receiving Locate this document in the navigation structure

 

Shipping and receiving offers features to create transportation units or vehicles in SAP EWM based on transport information contained in SAP ERP inbound or outbound deliveries. With this integration, you can plan the transportation process for deliveries in ERP without using shipments in ERP.

Prerequisites

You must ensure that the following prerequisites are met:

  • The DTU status (Assign Transportation Unit) is active for the delivery type and item type used in EWM.

  • The PPF action /SCWM/WHR_CREATE_VEHICLE is active in the action profile assigned to the delivery type in EWM.

  • When creating a delivery in ERP, you enter a means of transport type and a means of transport ID in the delivery header.

  • You have created a link between the means of transport derived from the ERP means of transport type and the TU packaging material. On the Easy Access screen, choose   Extended Warehouse Management   Settings   Shipping and Receiving   Link Between Packaging Material (TU) and Means of Transport  . This setting determines whether EWM creates a vehicle and/or a transportation unit.

Features

  • Receipt of an inbound delivery from SAP ERP in EWM.

    EWM receives an inbound delivery notification as a result of inbound deliveries created in SAP ERP. EWM uses the inbound delivery notification to create an inbound delivery. In this process, EWM copies the transport information from the ERP delivery to the delivery notification and from the notification to the inbound delivery.

  • Receipt of an outbound delivery from SAP ERP in EWM.

    EWM receives an outbound delivery request as a result of outbound deliveries created in SAP ERP. EWM uses the outbound delivery request to create an outbound delivery order. In this process, EWM copies the transport information from the ERP delivery to the delivery request and from the request to the outbound delivery order.

  • Automatic creation of a transportation unit or a vehicle.

    When creating an inbound delivery or an outbound delivery order, EWM checks if the conditions are met for the PPF action /SCWM/WHR_CREATE_VEHICLE to be processed. If yes, EWM creates a transportation unit or a vehicle, depending on the settings (see above section), and assigns automatically the delivery to the TU/vehicle.
