Warehouse Task Creation with Reference to a Warehouse Request

Use

You can display the predetermined serial numbers in the user interface of the inbound delivery, the outbound delivery order or for posting changes. The serial numbers that EWM displays here belong to the open quantity at the time preceding the creation of the warehouse tasks. The displayed serial numbers do not represent the warehouse tasks that have already been created.

Features

If you are in the user interface for stock removal or for posting changes, EWM only displays the stock for which serial numbers have been specified on the Stk Can Be Removed tab page or the Other Stock tab page. A prerequisite for this is that EWM has not yet locked the serial numbers for warehouse task creation. When EWM creates the required warehouse tasks for an outbound delivery request or an outbound delivery order, it assigns the serial numbers in accordance with the outbound delivery quantity.

If serial numbers have only been specified for a partial quantity of an outbound delivery item, EWM only displays the outbound delivery quantity for serial numbers in inventory management that EWM has assigned serial numbers to. EWM does not display stocks for serial numbers for document items or at warehouse number level. However, if EWM has assigned all serial numbers, or if EWM cannot find any of the predetermined serial numbers, EWM processes the remaining outbound delivery quantity. In such a case, EWM displays the whole stock in accordance with the stock removal process and does not take the partial quantity that EWM has already assigned serial numbers into account.

Example Example

Only five serial numbers have been specified for outbound delivery item A with ten pieces of product B. The first time you call the use interface for performing a stock removal for an outbound delivery order, EWM only displays the stocks for serial numbers in inventory management on the Stk Can Be Removed tab page. In such a case, EWM displays the stocks for the five predetermined serial numbers, amounting to only five pieces. During the outbound delivery process, EWM creates the corresponding warehouse tasks for the outbound delivery item and reserves these five serial numbers. EWM displays all stocks for product B in the warehouse on the Stk Can Be Removed tab page. You can choose the storage bin from which you want to take the remaining five pieces of product B.

End of the example.

When EWM creates a corresponding warehouse task for a warehouse request, EWM determines the necessary location data, handling unit data and stock data for a predetermined serial number.

The maximum number of predetermined serial numbers allowed by EWM corresponds to the outbound delivery quantity. If the number of serial numbers in the outbound delivery order is smaller than the outbound delivery quantity, that is, the outbound delivery quantity is not fully serialized, EWM divides the order item internally. EWM creates one or more corresponding warehouse tasks for the fully serialized outbound delivery quantity. EWM also creates a warehouse task for the outbound delivery quantity that is not serialized. (see also Specifying Serial Numbers for Warehouse Task Creation under ‘Splitting Warehouse Tasks’). If necessary, EWM creates more than one corresponding warehouse task for such an outbound delivery order, for example, if various handling units are necessary for the outbound delivery.
