The Goods Issue Process Based on the Delivery Flashcards
The Shipping Process
- Monitoring of deadlines for reference documents due for shipping
- Creating and processing outbound deliveries
- Monitoring goods availability
- Monitoring the capacity situation in the warehouse in WM and EWM
- Support for picking (with a link to the WM system or to EWM)
- Packing the delivery, which usually takes place in EWM
- Printing and distributing shipping documents
- Processing the goods issue, which usually takes place in EWM
- Controlling deliveries currently in progress, activities still to be performed, and possible bottlenecks
Determination of the Delivering Plant
- Customer-material information record
- Customer master of the ship-to party
- Material master
Determination of the Shipping Point
- The delivering plant determined for each order item (from the customer-material information record, the ship-to party customer master record, or the material master record)
- The shipping requirements (for example, express shipping) in the Shipping Conditions field
- The required loading equipment within the material master record in the Loading Group field
shipping condition
system proposes first from the sales document type. If not, the system proposes the shipping condition from the master record of the sold-to party.
Route Determination
- The country and departure zone of the shipping point (assigned in Customizing)
- The shipping condition from the sales document type or the customer master of the sold-to party
- The transportation group assigned to the material
- The country and transportation zone of the ship-to party (assigned in the customer master record)
Backward Scheduling
When you create an order, the system can determine the required material availability date based on the delivery date requested by the customer. The goods to be delivered must be available for shipping at that point in time.
Transit time
Time required for shipping an outbound delivery to the ship-to party
Loading time
Time required for loading the goods
Pick/pack time
Time required for picking and packing
Transportation lead time
Time required for organizing the transportation
loading time and pick/pack time come from…
shipping point
the transit time and the transportation lead time come from…
the route
Forward Scheduling
If backward scheduling results in a date in the past, the system automatically performs forward scheduling, which confirms a new delivery date
The system also performs forward scheduling if the material is not available on the material availability date
Precise Scheduling
Maintains the working times of the shipping point in hours to determine pick/pack time, loading time, and transit lead time
- .The factory calendar route is maintained in days for the Transit time
- The system calculates and displays the results of scheduling down to the minute.
- Pick/pack and loading times are specified in hours and minutes.
Daily Scheduling
Does not have the working times of the shipping point maintained
Pick/pack time, loading time, transportation lead time, and lead time are all in
- The system uses days, hours, and minutes for calculation but only displays the resulting date.
- The system uses the factory calendar of the shipping point.
shift sequence
defines the shifts for each weekday, and the shifts define the times for starting and finishing work.
Route Schedules
organize outbound deliveries from a particular shipping point to different ship-to parties (for example, customer or subsidiary companies) that occur regularly in the same sequence for a certain route.
- A route
- A weekday as the departure date, along with a departure time
- A list of ship-to parties
- An itinerary (optional)
Creation of Outbound Deliveries
if you create a delivery manually, you cannot deliver purchase orders or other requests.
If you use collective processing (delivery list), you can deliver goods for all types of shipping documents. In this case, the system automatically creates multiple outbound deliveries.
Delivery Due List
a worklist of all operations requiring deliveries. You use various criteria to select the documents that you need to deliver using collective processing. Then, the system automatically creates the outbound deliveries.
Delivery Scenarios
models a business process for delivering goods for orders that are due to ship
Determination of the Picking Location
the system determines the storage location when it creates the outbound delivery and copies it into the delivery item
The system determines the picking location based on a rule defined in the delivery type.
MALA
The system determines the picking location based on the shipping point, the delivering plant, and the material’s storage condition that you have defined in the material master.
Change of Outbound Deliveries
You can change or add to delivery documents after you have saved them. For example, you could add items to the outbound delivery. These items may refer to other orders (deliver order function).
Output
a communication tool that supports the exchange of information between you and your partners
Output can be sent from different objects such as an outbound delivery, a group of outbound deliveries, or a handling unit.
Outbound Delivery Monitor
The outbound delivery monitor displays all deliveries that are still to be processed or that have been processed. The system displays a list of the selected outbound deliveries, and you can perform subsequent functions from this list.
