Business Context and Use

This process component provides the capabilities to track the execution processing of inbound 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.

Notes on SAP Implementation

You are using an installed SAP EWM.

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

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

  2. Select Customer profile /SCWM/INB_PRD Inbound Delivery EWM Standard and in the navigation tree choose Partner Roles .

  3. For partner role STPRT Ship-To Party delete the indicator Inactive . As a result, the system fills the message field ProductRecipientParty . This is a prerequisite to fill the ProductRecipientID 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 .
