Transit Procedure for Outbound
Deliveries
Purpose
In Extended Warehouse Management (EWM), you can subject complete outbound deliveries that are transit procedure relevant to a transit procedure. In doing so, you can ensure that the customs authority issues a loading permission for the vehicles with the goods to be delivered to the goods recipient.
Prerequisites
You have implemented the enhancement spot /SCWM/ES_GTS_INTEGRATION, as required, to determine the transit procedure relevance.
Process
...
1. Before you load a vehicle for an outbound delivery, you define whether this outbound delivery is relevant to a transit procedure.
As the default value, EWM uses the status type Transit Procedure with the status value Not Relevant.
You can use the BAdI /SCWM/SHP_PROC_REL_SET to define, for example, that all deliveries for a certain country are relevant to a transit procedure. For more information, see the BAdI documentation.
2. You set the status type Transit Procedure of the outbound delivery to the status value For Checking. To do so, on the SAP Easy Access screen, choose Extended Warehouse Management → Delivery Processing → Outbound Delivery → Maintain Outbound Delivery and then the Transit Procedure pushbutton. In the dropdown menu, choose Set Status to Check.
3.
EWM locks the outbound delivery to prevent additional
goods issue
process steps from being performed, for example, posting the goods
issue.
4. You ask the customs authority for loading permission.
○ If the customs authority allows the vehicle to be loaded, you set the status type Transit Procedure of the outbound delivery in EWM to the status value Released. To do so, on the SAP Easy Access screen, choose Extended Warehouse Management → Delivery Processing → Outbound Delivery → Maintain Outbound Delivery and then the Transit Procedure pushbutton. In the dropdown menu, choose Set Status to “Release”. EWM releases the locked outbound delivery for additional goods issue process steps.
○ If the customs authority does not allow the vehicle to be loaded because it is performing a customs inspection, loading is delayed. You can set the status type Transit Procedure of the outbound delivery to the status value Customs Insp.. To do so, on the SAP Easy Access screen, choose Extended Warehouse Management → Delivery Processing → Outbound Delivery → Maintain Outbound Delivery and then the Transit Procedure pushbutton. In the dropdown menu, choose Set Status to “Blocked for Customs”.
After the customs inspection, you set the status type Transit Procedure of the outbound delivery in EWM to the status value Released. To do so, on the SAP Easy Access screen, choose Extended Warehouse Management → Delivery Processing → Outbound Delivery → Maintain Outbound Delivery and then the Transit Procedure pushbutton. In the dropdown menu, choose Set Status to “Release”. EWM releases the outbound delivery for additional goods issue process steps.
You can only load the vehicle and post the goods issue if the outbound delivery has the status value Not Relevant or Released for the status type Transit Procedure.
Result
You have performed a transit procedure for your outbound delivery. You load the vehicle and perform additional goods issue process steps, for example, you post the goods issue.
