Warehouse Task Creation

When picking, the alternative unit of measure (AUoM) of the outbound delivery order item has no influence on the warehouse task (WT), so the system does not prioritise looking for stock which has the same AUoM as the outbound delivery item. You can use a stock removal strategy to pick stock which is not in the preferred AUoM first.

The system takes the AUoM of the available quantity when creating a WT. The system also tries to determine which AUoM is best suited for WT execution. If a quantity equivalent to a whole pallet is to be removed, the system creates a WT with the AUoM for a pallet. The system decides whether to use another AUoM for the WT according to the quantity for the WT or to the quantity classification that is maintained in the WT's source storage type and in the product master. If the product has a packaging specification, the system uses the AUoM from the packaging level which fits the WT. If there is no packaging specification, the system attempts to determine an AUoM by checking the product master for the AUoM's conversion factors. This is done in the default implementation of the BAdI Change of HU Quantity, which you can find in Customizing for Extended Warehouse Management under  Business Add-Ins (BAdIs) for Extended Warehouse Management Goods Issue Process Strategies Stock Removal Strategies .

Warehouse Task Confirmation

During WT confirmation, you can change the AUoM of the WT. If the AUoM is stock-specific (as set in Customizing for Extended Warehouse Management under  Master Data Product Define Unit of Measurement Attributes ), this AUoM is stored in the destination quant. Otherwise the AUoM of the source quant is used as the AUoM of the destination quant. If the quantity of the source quant is less than 1 in the AUoM, the AUoM is changed to the base UoM. You can also change the AUoM of the quant with the BAdI Changing Quant Attributes During WT Confirmation, which you can find in Customizing for Extended Warehouse Management under  Business Add-Ins (BAdIs) for Extended Warehouse Management Cross-Process Settings Warehouse Task Confirmation of Warehouse Task .

If the moved stock has a stock-specific UoM and the delivery item type of the outbound delivery order is marked with Update Delivery Item SUoM (in Customizing for Extended Warehouse Management under  Goods Issue Process Outbound Delivery Manual Settings Define Item Types for Outbound Delivery Process ), the outbound delivery item is updated with the AUoM of the stock.

If the full delivery item quantity is confirmed, the main item is updated with the AuoM of the stock. If only a partial quantity is picked, or multiple AuoMs are picked, subitems are created with the corresponding AUoM. For more information, see Batch-Managed Products and UoM Split in Delivery.
