Embedded EWM – Inbound POSC (Multi-step movements)

INBOUND POSC (MULTI-STEP MOVEMENT)

Purpose

The purpose of this article to understand INBOUND POSC and how does it work in EWM. In this blog post I will discuss the configuration and master data settings in EWM for one of the Inbound process consisting of multi-step movements.

In this Inbound POSC Scenario we discuss about Deconsolidation/Re-pack process of a product. Here we received a product packed inside HU from the supplier and before placing the product to final bin, we first take out the product from the HU and re-pack in different HU and placed it in final bin.

CONFIGURATION: –

1.1 Define Process Oriented Storage Control:

In this area, maintain storage process with external steps and process-oriented storage control.

PATH: Spro—Img—SCM EWM—EWM—Cross process setting—Warehouse Task—Define Process Oriented storage control

Here we can use Standard External steps also (IB01, IB02, IB03)

1.2 Define Storage Process:

After Creating Storage process, we need to assign External process codes to storage process. As shown below-

1.3 Define Process Oriented Storage Control:

PATH: Spro—IMG—SCM EWM—EWM—Cross process setting—Warehouse Task—Define Process oriented storage control

1.4 Define Warehouse Process Type:

PATH: Spro—IMG—SCM EWM—EWM—Cross process setting—Warehouse Task—Define Warehouse Process Type

Here we define WPT for put away process and assign storage process to it, means sequential multi-step trigger to finish the process.

1.5 Define Control Indicator for Determining Warehouse Process Type:

PATH: Spro—IMG—SCM EWM—EWM—Cross process setting—Warehouse Task—Define Control Indicator for Determining Warehouse Process type.

1.6 Determining Warehouse Process Type:

PATH: Spro—IMG—SCM EWM—EWM—Cross process setting—Warehouse Task—Determine Warehouse Process Type

Here the system determines the WPT according to Document type, Item type, Delivery priority and Process type determination control indicator.

1.7 Define Storage type for Work center:

PATH: Spro—SCM EWM—EWM—Master Data—Define Storage Type

Here one Storage type with role “work center” is required to assign work center to execute deconsolidation process.

1.8 Define Work center:

PATH: Spro—SCM EWM—EWM—Master Data—Work Center—Define Work Center

1.9 Create Storage Bin for Work center:

Storage bin is required to assign for work center, this storage bin create against storage type, which is assigned to work center.

PATH: Sap Easy Access—EWM—Master Data—Storage Bin—Create Storage Bin

2.0 Define Master Data Attributes for Work center:

PATH: Sap Easy Access—EWM—Master Data—Work center—Define Master Data Attributes

TEST CASE

3.1 Create Inbound Delivery:

Transaction: VL31N

Once Material is packed then click on SAVE button. Inbound deliver is transfers to EWM.

3.2 Maintain Inbound Delivery:

Transaction: /N/SCWM/PRDI

To view HU detail, click on HU TAB to view the HU details.

Create Warehouse Task

Here HU is mandatory to work with POSC. HU Warehouse task creates for Warehouse request (IBD), Where Source is “DOOR” and Destination is “GR-STAGE”

3.3 Check Monitor for WT details:

Transaction: /N/SCWM/MON

Warehouse monitor provides WT information with reference to inbound delivery.

Once confirm the WT (UNLOAD), there new WT’s will be created, one is Confirmed WT and other is Waiting WT.

Once confirm the open WT, HU will be available at deconsolidation work center.

3.4 Deconsolidation at Work Center:

Transaction: /N/SCWM/DCONS

Now create new HU for transferring the materials from old HU to new HU.

Now Enter the Source HU, destination HU (new/empty HU) under Deconsolidation Tab & select open WT

Now, Open WT appear under “Deconsolidation” tab

NOTE: It is possible to change Qty of open WT, system will create a new WT for QTY. Once executed, product will be packed in new HU (Destination HU).
