Batch-Managed Products and UoM Split in Delivery

Use this function if you want the EWM outbound delivery to reflect exactly which stock-specific unit of measure (SUoM) has been picked.

Prerequisites

You have selected the Update Delivery Item SUoM checkbox for the outbound delivery item type in Customizing for Extended Warehouse Management under Good Issue Process Outbound Delivery Manual Settings Define Item Types for Outbound Delivery Process .

Features

Outbound Delivery Order (ODO)

Usually the full quantity is picked in an SUoM. Then the UoM and quantity of the delivery item are overwritten by the alternative quantity and UoM of the picked quant. If the item quantity is picked only partly in the warehouse task in any UoM, subitems are created in the outbound delivery under the delivery item which is in process. Under the main item, there is one subitem for each picked UoM.

For non-batch-managed products, the hierarchy type UOM is used for these subitems. There can be maximum one subitem of type UOM for each picked SUoM.

Example Example

After replication there is one outbound delivery item with the following attributes:

Item Number	Hierarchy Level	Product	Quantity	UoM
10		PRODUCT_A	30	EA

If you pick one carton of six, one carton of ten, four pieces, and another carton of ten, the outbound delivery has the following attributes:

Item Number	Hierarchy Level	Hierarchy Type	Product	Quantity	UoM
10		UOM	PRODUCT_A	30	EA
20	+	UOM	PRODUCT_A	1	C06
30	+	UOM	PRODUCT_A	2	C10
40	+	UOM	PRODUCT_A	4	EA

End of the example.

If the delivery item is batch managed, the system creates one subitem with hierarchy type BSP for each batch value and UoM.

Example Example

After replication there is one outbound delivery item with the following attributes:

Item Number	Hierarchy Level	Product	Batch	Quantity	UoM
10		PRODUCT_A		30	EA

If you pick one carton of six from batch 2010, one carton of six from batch 2011, one carton of six from batch 2010, and one carton of twelve from batch 2010, the outbound delivery has the following attributes:

Item Number	Hierarchy Level	Hierarchy Type	Product	Batch	Quantity	UoM
10		BSP	PRODUCT_A		30	EA
20	+	BSP	PRODUCT_A	2010	2	C06
30	+	BSP	PRODUCT_A	2011	1	C06
40	+	BSP	PRODUCT_A	2010	1	C12

End of the example.

In the case of an early batch split already being created in the ERP outbound delivery, the system creates new subitems with the hierarchy type UOM under each batch subitem, resulting in a two-level hierarchy.

Example Example

After replication there is one outbound delivery item with the following attributes:

Item Number	Hierarchy Level	Hierarchy Type	Product	Batch	Quantity	UoM
10		BSP	PRODUCT_A		22	EA
20	+	BSP	PRODUCT_A	2010	16	EA
30	+	BSP	PRODUCT_A	2011	7	EA

If in EWM you pick one carton of six and one carton of ten from batch 2010, and one carton of six and one piece from batch 2011, the outbound delivery has the following attributes:

Item Number	Hierarchy Level	Hierarchy Type	Product	Batch	Quantity	UoM
10		BSP	PRODUCT_A		22	EA
20	+	BSP	PRODUCT_A	2010	16	EA
40	++	UOM	PRODUCT_A	2010	1	C06
50	++	UOM	PRODUCT_A	2010	1	C10
30	+	BSP	PRODUCT_A	2011	7	EA
60	++	UOM	PRODUCT_A	2011	1	C06
70	++	UOM	PRODUCT_A	2011	1	EA

End of the example.
