POSC Outbound process in SAP EWM

[former_member695580]

Hi,

Can someone please help me with the set up of storage controlled outbound process in SAP EWM?

Initial set up: The process I am looking for is Pick à Pack à Stage

I have defined the POSC as OUTB and its subsequent steps as OB01, OB02 and OB03.

Picking (single step with pick HU) is happening as per the stock removal strategy and OB01 is getting populated in the pick WT successfully. Upon the confirmation of this task, Pack WT is automatically created. I do the repack at the work centre, an internal movement WT (WPT 3040) is created and confirmed automatically.

When I manually confirm the Pack WT from the /SCWM/MON screen, the next staging WT doesn’t get created automatically. In the POSC configuration steps, I have enabled the option “Auto WT” for OB01 and OB02.

Please refer to the below screen prints for the details:

Please let me know if any more information or transactional data details are required.

Hi Ajit,

I tried as you suggested.

Removed the "Auto WT" check from OB01 in the configuration.

Two observations:

1. I do not see the "complete HU" icon in the work centre screen anymore, as shown below.

2. Disabling the "auto Wt" check, did not create the PACK WT automatically ( as expected), and when I repack manually, an internal movement task gets created and confirmed automatically but it has no POSC step assigned.

Please let me know your thoughts.

Hi Bhoomika,

Seems some issue with Work Center LAyout set up.

Please read this HOW-TO-GUIDE and do configure accordingly.

Hi bhoomika.prakash

As per my understanding, POSC standard means Activity based process step so Unless and until you confirmed the activity (Complete the packing), it would not generate or active next WTs.

"When I manually confirm the Pack WT from the /SCWM/MON screen, the next staging WT doesn’t get created automatically. In the POSC configuration steps, I have enabled the option “Auto WT” for OB01 and OB02."

I guess you need to complete HU via RF or Work Center for generate your next WTs.

Please let us know if you have further questions.

Kind Regards,

Hi Ajit,

Thanks a lot for your quick response.

When I repack the material (using RF or manually in /SCWM/PACK), the internal movement WT (standard repack WPT 3040) gets created and confirmed automatically. But the initial WT (created with standard WPT 3070) remains in status A i.e. not started. Ideally, if I confirm this task, next WT for Staging should get created. But it's not happening so.

Am I missing out somewhere? Is there any log that gets generated? I activated all related subobjects in SLG1 but no logs are captured.

Hi Ajit,

Thanks alot for your quick response. The sequence that is taking place currently is:

1. Picking WT (step OB01) confirmation auto created the next WT for packing i.e. step OB02.

2. I use RF or /SCWM/PACK to repack the material from pick HU to shipping HU. The internal WT for repacking the material (created with standard repack WPT 3040) gets created and confirmed automatically. Here the HU is completed as mentioned by you.

3. The OB02 WT (created with standard WPT 3070) does not get confirmed automatically and remains in status A i.e. not started. I go to MONITOR and confirm it manually.

Ideally, this confirmation should create the staging WT (step OB03) automatically but it is not doing so.

Am I missing out on something here? Is there any way I can see the log so as to why the WT is not created? I activated the relevant subobjects in SLG1 but the logs are not captured there.
