Prerequisites for Integration with SAP EWM

Recommendation

If you are using SAP Dock Appointment Scheduling integrated with SAP EWM, we recommend that you use docking locations to represent the SAP EWM warehouse in SAP Dock Appointment Scheduling.

If you are upgrading from SAP Dock Appointment Scheduling 9.0, all the features that were available in 9.0 are still available without creating docking locations. However, the new features require the use of docking locations.

End of the recommendation.

Planning in SAP Dock Appointment Scheduling

You have done the following:

You have created a docking location with the name of the supply chain unit (SCU) of the SAP EWM warehouse as the name of the docking location.
To ensure that you are using the correct SCU name, choose Dock Appointment Scheduling Settings Simple Setup Simple Setup of Integrated Dock Appointment Scheduling .

Choose Create Docking Location. A dialog box appears. Enter the warehouse number of the SAP EWM warehouse. The system finds the correct SCU name.

Note
You cannot assign more than one docking location to the same warehouse.

End of the note.
You have entered the integration settings type in the SAP EWM Integration field in the docking location.
If you want the integration to behave differently for inbound loading appointments and outbound loading appointments, choose Use Integration Settings and create the integration settings in the NetWeaver menu for Dock Appointment Scheduling under Interfaces Integration Settings for Dock Appointment Scheduling .
You have created your loading points based on the docking location. The system copies the integration setting of the docking location into the loading points.
You have assigned doors to each loading point.

On the Simple Setup of Integrated Dock Appointment Scheduling screen, choose Assign Doors to Loading Points. Alternatively, in the NetWeaver Business Client menu for Extended Warehouse Management, choose Settings Shipping and Receiving Dock Appointment Scheduling Assign Doors to Loading Point .

Note Note

If you are upgrading from SAP Dock Appointment Scheduling 9.0, you can still use the integration with SAP EWM on loading point level without creating docking locations. You can integrate SAP Dock Appointment Scheduling with SAP EWM for each loading point individually by assigning doors to the loading point. On the SAP Easy Access screen for Extended Warehouse Management, choose Start of the navigation path Extended Warehouse Management Next navigation step Settings Shipping and Receiving Dock Appointment Scheduling Assign Doors to Loading Point End of the navigation path . Then you activate the integration with SAP EWM in the loading point. You can assign doors from the same warehouse to different loading points, but you cannot assign doors from multiple warehouses to the same loading point.
