Routes ECC Vs EWM

[Former Member]

Dear all,

I am not an expert in EWM but I would like to know if is it a way to Transfer the Routes of ECC to EWM in order to avoid the maintenance of Master Data in both systems?

Your advice will be very helpfull.

Kind regards,

JP

Hi,

Here in EWM, we have one option as route information has to be transferred from SAP ERP to SAP

EWM.

for this need to configure the option in the following path.

IMG-  Extended Warehouse Management -Interfaces -ERP Integration  -Delivery Processing  -Map

Routes and Route Schedule from ERP System to EWM.

three options are available in the above configuration

1. Use Route (SCM) : This is the standard setting; the route is from the SAP SCM system.

2. Use Route (SD) if Route (SCM) is initial ;When the route from the SAP SCM system isn’t filled, the SD route is used.

3. Use Route (SD) if Route (SD) and Route Schedule are filled : When the SD route and route schedule are transferred, the SD route is used.

Hi JP,

if you are referring to the master data for the routes, then there is no replication or CIF like it is available for products.

An ERP route has different master data than an SCM route so you can not replicate it 1:1n.

There is a BAPI (/SCTM/BAPI_ROUTES_SAVEREPLICA) available in case you want to create it on your own.

But what is your purpose?

Either you have the routes in ERP, then you may use the determination there and the outbound delivery order in EWM already contains the ERP route (this is what was described in the above postings). In this case you can not change the route in EWM as of course the master data is not available here.

Or you do not use the ERP routes and wan the determination in EWM. But then the structure of the routes is different than to ERP and you may create them manually on their own. So a 1:1 mapping (even if you create your own replication function) may only work for very simple routes.

But again, if your goal is only that the route / route schedule is determined in ERP and is transferred in the outbound delivery order, then this works as described above.

Hi Markus,

Thanks for your annswer. The goal is to use the route dermination from ECC but in some exceptional cases, the Route ID of ECC coudl be overwritten in EWM. But we need to have the Same route ID as the one defined in the ECC system.

I'm looking for a solution in order to avoid the maintenance in ECC and EWM...

Hi JP,

not sure if I know what you want to do.

If the route was determined in ERP and is passed in the delivery to EWM then this route in the delivery in EWM is not changeable. The reason is that in EWM (due to the not existen master data) a different route could not be validated nor could it be replicated back to ERP.

If your goal is that you want to find available ERP routes also in the route search help and/or that you can enter an ERP route in for example the wave templates, staging area determinatinon,... then you could have a look at BAdI /SCMB/EX_ROUTE_F4_EXT (path in IMG SCM Extended Warehouse Management->Extended Warehouse Management->Business Add-Ins (BAdIs) for Extended Warehouse Management->Master Data->Routes->BAdI: Enhance Route Search Help With External Data).

This BAdi contains an example implemantation with which you can include routes from an ERP system into the search help for routes in EWM.

(Theoretical if a delivery does not contain a route then you could use the search help to enter any route in the route field (then it can simply be used as a character string with no master data in EWM). But then of course no determinations/validations can be done and you need to "release" the route manually in case you get the error message that the route is unknown in EWM).

Hi Markus,

But If the Route ID must be used for wave process in EWM, the route ID must be known as an object in EWM. No sure that the badi BAdI /SCMB/EX_ROUTE_F4_EXT will work as it is doing only RFC call.

Hi JP,

well that's the goal of the BAdI that you can also use routes that got determined in ERP for warehouse processes (like wave building) in EWM. Try it

The configurations in EWM should accept it if you enter a route key which is not defined in EWM.

And the RFC is of course necessary as the routes itself are defined in ERP. Therefore this BadI reads the route master data from ERP .

So e.g. if you have a process that your determine routes in ERP? and then want to do a wave creation for all deliveries with the same route on the same day you can do this.

Furthermore usually for such things not only the route is of interest but also the route schedule from ERP, as this contains more information when the route will depart. So usually if you are using route schedules they will also be available in the outbound delivery order.(C K REDDY described above how this mapping can be configured).

Best regards

Markus

Hi JP,

We can use Route determination  either in ERP(copy from sales order to ewm) or EWM.

What is the requirement actually?

Please refer the link for determination from EWM
