Processes and Functions based on the Delivery with Embedded EWM Flashcards
Overview
A picking and goods issue process is necessary to fulfill customer orders, supply demand for production, or issue goods internally for a cost center or an internal order.
Goods Issue with EWM
there is a Logistics Execution (LE) outbound delivery and corresponding document in SAP EWM
Sales Order and Outbound Delivery Documents
For sales order items which are stored in an SAP EWM warehouse, an LE outbound delivery is created with reference to the sales order. The delivery is replicated to SAP EWM as an outbound delivery order. This outbound delivery order is used for the creation of warehouse tasks to pick the goods.
At the end of the process in SAP EWM, an additional document (another outbound delivery) is created. This is necessary for a potential split of the LE outbound delivery in case of partial deliveries.
Determining the Warehouse Number
Once the picking storage location is determined and the combination of plant and storage location is assigned to a warehouse number, then the picking will take place in WM or EWM.
The Warehouse Management Monitor
The SAP EWM Warehouse Management Monitor is a central tool to keep warehouse managers informed about the current situation in the warehouse.
also contains alert-monitoring capabilities.
Warehouse Tasks for Outbound Deliveries
the physical movement of the material is controlled with a warehouse task.
the system considers two things to find the right stock:
- A storage type sequence
- The stock removal rule (or picking strategy)
Goods Issue
Once the products are picked and are at the goods issue zone, you can post the goods issue. The goods issue posting can be triggered manually from the outbound delivery order, but it can also be triggered automatically when the products are at the staging area or when the truck with the products leaves the warehouse.
For the goods issue, another SAP EWM document is created — the EWM outbound delivery. This document sends information about the goods issue posting back to the LE outbound delivery.
Purchasing Process
The process of making purchases from vendors and from other plants within your own company is handled in SAP S/4HANA using purchasing documents, such as purchase requisitions and purchase orders.
Goods Receipt with SAP EWM
For the goods receipt in an SAP EWM managed warehouse it is necessary to create an inbound delivery for the purchase order or manufacturing order.
Inbound delivery
The inbound delivery is the basis for triggering the physical movements of the material in the warehouse and the posting of the goods receipt.
Confirmation Control Key
Defines what types of confirmations are expected from a vendor and also defines the requirement for and the possibility to create an inbound delivery.
Benefit of creation of Inbound Deliveries in SAP EWM
Useful even if vendor does not send necessary information to create an inbound delivery
Pricing
The outbound delivery may contain shipping-related conditions, such as shipping or freight costs (if you are not using the transportation module).
You can print the conditions on the delivery note and transfer them in the billing document, but you cannot transfer them from the preceding documents to the outbound delivery.
To implement the conditions, use the standard Customizing settings for pricing
Delivery Interface
If business partners are involved in the shipping process, or if some functions are performed by non-SAP systems, you need to exchange information with these other parties or systems. Normally, electronic data interchange (EDI) messages are used for external communication, and Application Link Enabling (ALE) messages are used for internal communication.
Incompletion Control
When you call up the log of incomplete items, the system checks if the data in the outbound delivery is complete. From the generated list, you can branch directly to the screen for maintaining the incomplete fields.
