Confirmation (Separate Pick and Transfer)

[Former Member]

Hello,

I want to do my confirmation in 2 steps i.e. separate pick and transfer.

I am doing the same with transaction LT12 but system gives an error:

"Separate confirmation of withdrawal and material shipment not allowed".

Could you please let me know the relevant settings required to proceed with this?

Regards

Hello,

You would need to the confirmation control for this activity: LE>WM>Activities>Transfers>Confirmation

1) Define the warehouse to allow for 2 step picking

2) Define the source and destination storage type as picking confirmation required

3) Define the movement type that is being used to allow for seperate confirmation or just force the system to confirm even in case of 2 step.

once you do that you shouldnt get the error that you are getting.

Also, this is on IMG help :

At the warehouse number level you define:

whether there is to be separate confirmation of pick and transfer

At the storage type level you define:

whether putaways to this storage type require confirmation

whether picks from this storage type require confirmation

whether a zero stock check is to take place for a bin that becomes empty through the pick

whether the destination storage bin can be changed during confirmation

At the movement type level you define:

whether transfer orders with this movement type can be confirmed immediately

whether the confirmation requirement is to be proposed during transfer order generation

whether single-step confirmation is to be applied although two-step confirmation is set for the source and destination storage types

through which screen the transfer orders are to be cofirmed.

Confirmation Requirement

As soon as one of the above parameters calls for a confirmation requirement for a transfer order item, the item must be confirmed.

Immediate confirmation of a transfer order item only works out if

the respective movement type does not disallow this

if the storage type from which the materials are picked is not subject to pick confirmation

if the storage type into which the materials are put away does not have a putaway confirmation requirement.

Two-Step Confirmation

For two-step confirmation, both storage types involved in the transfer order must be subject to confirmation.

At the warehouse number level, you define whether transfer orders or TO items are to be confirmed in two separate steps.

During the confirmation of the first step, you confirm the pick process from the source storage bin. The source storage bin and the quant are automatically updated. In the quant of the destination storage bin, only the open transfer quantity is updated at this point.

During the confirmation of the second step, you confirm both the transfer process and also the receipt of the material at the destination storage bin. Here the source storage bin and its quant are no longer updated, but only the destination storage bin and the quant stored there.

Hello,

Thanks for the replies.

Following point was helpful:

2) Define the source and destination storage type as picking confirmation required.

Karan,

I am not really sure but if this is what you are looking for but you use 2 step picking you get 2 to's one for allocation and one for confirmation.
