SAP ByDesign and container level tracking of materials?

113 Views Last edit Sep 20, 2023 at 04:51 AM 3 rev

We are a new company that had SAP ByDesign implemented by an integrator. The integrator had an add-on module that was supposed to allow Mobile scan-gun capabilities (warehouse management internally) and (more importantly) container level tracking of materials. The later fell short and is not really a solution. It was closer to a "pallet ID" solution.

What we need is the ability to receive materials with UOM conversions for case to each to measure (weight or volume) where each "container" is uniquely identified. This simply can be container 1-10. But if container 5 has 6 units inside, we need the ability to "split" that parent container into 6 individual units. All with this being tracked in the system. In addition, if any "base level" container is consumed, we need that tracked specifically to the container. For example, if 5 gr of powder is removed from a 100gr container, it now reflects 95gr.

With all this said, does anyone know of an add-on to SAP ByDesign that can accomplish the above?

In asking SAP directly, they keep directing me to WMS systems, but all seem to focus on distribution capabilities but not the container tracking.
