Gross weight/total weight ODO without HU

[michael_fallenbchel]

Hi experts,

tried to find out how EWM (9.1) calculates the total weight of an ODO.

Have an example with 1 pallet, on header level, EWM calculates the weight to 0.217 KG:

My pallet itself has a weight of 21.217 KG:

Why is EWM not including the weight of the HU? Already did some research, in one thread it was told to adjust material master of pack mat (enter gross weight in UoM), this is already done.

Also found out, that in the TU the weight is in as loading weight:

Is there something I have to change?

Thanks for any hint

Michael

Hello Michael,

basically for ODO (for ID it is different) the header weight/volume is aggregated (transient) from the items (subitems and hierarchies are considered).

HU information is not considered.

The determination logic can be influenced using BAdI /SCWM/EX_DLV_DET_ADDMEAS. So here you could also include your own logic with maybe also HUs.

The difficulty with HUs is if you have cross HUs. Which "part" of the HU should be calculated for which delivery?

Be aware that if you are using own coding (e.g. not using /SCWM/PRDO) that the aggregation for the header only includes items which are read. So if you have an ODO with 100 items and you only read the header+the first item the header weight/volume will only be calculated from this item. There are ways to still include all items in the calculation, but unless you are not using own coding this is not relevant here...

Best regards

Hi Markus,

have tested this BAdI (in debug 'n' replace mode),

Have changed gross and net weight, looks fine in the ODO - problem then is: this "new" weight isn't transferred to ERP with GI posting 😞

Do I have to implement anything here as well?

Regards

Hi Michael,

the weight/volume on outbound header level are not populated during transfer to ERP.

(For items it is).

There is a BAdI /SCWM/EX_ERP_MAPOUT_OD_CONFDEC where the data which is sent to ERP can be influenced. But I am not sure which consequences this can have. E.g. not sure if ERP does own checks or something else which could cause issues/error messages.

Best regards

Perfect, working as needed 🙂

Thank you very much!

Another point - in ERP, the total weight of the dnote (LIKP-BRGEW) is not updated including the empty HUs, and in the transport, there's no field for the loading weight.

How to get the correct weight in ERP?

Have done some more testing - something very interesting now:

I cancelled GI posting in EWM, then posted again - now the total weight in ERP is doubled. Can reproduce, everytime I cancel and post again GI, the weight of my dnote is added to my total weight in ERP?
