Process documentationOutbound Processing Using the Shipping Cockpit in EWM

 

When you plan to send goods of several outbound delivery orders (ODOs) with the same transport, transportation planning is done in SAP Extended Warehouse Management (SAP EWM). For regular routes, you can use a background job to create transportation units and assign ODOs to the transportation units (TUs). For ODOs that are not transported by a regular route, you can use manual planning functionality in the shipping cockpit. Based on the planned TUs, the warehouse execution can start. From within the shipping cockpit, the progress of the warehouse execution can be monitored by the shipping office clerk. When the truck arrives at the warehouse, all necessary tasks, such as arrival at checkpoint, arrival at door, and so on, can be performed from the shipping cockpit. After goods are loaded onto the truck, which can be monitored in the shipping cockpit, the tasks for finalizing the truck, such as posting goods issue, departure from door and checkpoint, and so on, can be performed from the shipping cockpit.

Process

  1. In SAP ERP sales orders and outbound deliveries are created and transferred to SAP EWM.

  2. Regular routes may be assigned to the ODOs in SAP EWM or SAP ERP.

  3. For ODOs carrying a regular route, a background job can be performed to create TUs.

  4. For ODOs not carrying a regular route, a manual planning of ODOs onto TUs can be performed in the shipping cockpit.

  5. Optional: For the planned TUs, door and staging area planning can be performed in the shipping cockpit.

  6. Optional: For the planned TUs, a picking wave creation can be performed from the shipping cockpit.

  7. Warehouse processing, such as picking, packing, and staging of the goods, is performed in the warehouse and can be monitored in the shipping cockpit by the display of status.

  8. The necessary tasks for the arrival of the truck, such as arrival at checkpoint, assignment to a door, and so on, are performed in the shipping cockpit.

  9. The loading of the truck is performed in the warehouse.

  10. The necessary tasks for the departure of the truck, such as closing the truck, departure from door, and so on, are performed in the shipping cockpit.
