Business Context and Use

This process component provides the capabilities to track the execution processing of outbound deliveries in SAP Extended Warehouse Management (SAP EWM) by applications situated outside of SAP EWM. It provides information on the planned and actual processing, for example, status and date information. Therefore, this process component enables the SOA-based integration of SAP EWM with external process monitoring applications, for example, SAP Event Management or a portal of a logistics service provider, which allows the tracking of the execution status of an order.This process component is used to search for outbound deliveries and track the execution of inbound delivery processing.

Notes on SAP Implementation

You are using an installed SAP EWM.

To fill the VendorParty field in the outbound messages, in Customizing of Delivery Processing you have to activate the entry for the ship-from party.

  1. In Customizing for Extended Warehouse Management choose  Cross-Processing Settings --> Delivery Processing --> Partner Processing --> Define Partner Profiles .

  2. Select customer profile /SCWM/OUT_FD Outbound Delivery EWM Standard and in the navigation tree choose Partner Roles .The customer profile /SCWM/OUT_FD is for outbound deliveries. You have to make the same Customizing settings also for the customer profile /SCWM/OUT_PRD Outbound Delivery Order EWM Standard , which is used for outbound delivery orders.

  3. For partner role SFPRT Ship-From Party delete the indicator Inactive . As a result, the system fills the message field VendorParty . This is a prerequisite to fill the VendorID fields.

If you work with material, locations, or orders, you need to consider the type of identifier (internal or external). This has important implications for their use and for additional data that may be required.  For more information, see IDs for Materials, Locations, and Orders .
