Task and Resource Management (TRM) - Replenishment/picking process

Former Member

Hello everybody,

i need your help. We are implementing TRM module and we are facing issues with replenishment/picking process. We have storage location not HU Managed and wee have the necessity to create task bundle for picking/replenishment process.

Every times TRM make a bundle, it seems that force to execute a pick&pack

Regarding picking process when TRM creates a bundle it forces to specifiy a destination HU that will be inserted in the delivery as handling unit. So in this case we have no problem.

But in the replenishment process we haven't a delivery and so the standard avoid the insertion of HU.

The questions is:

1) Is possibile to have bundle without pick and pack? .

Thank you very much for your attention.

Regards,

Andrea

Hi,

Which Logical Transaction are you using, 'PICK_AND_PACK' or 'PICK_SG'?

Can you provide the attibutes you maintained for the Logical Transaction under :

TRM->Presentation Management->Define Flow Logic->Transaction Catalog

Another important thing to note is that , the replenishment tasks appearing in TRM should have activity type '02'. If not then you might have to implement a BADI to change the activity type to 02 for it to work as picking transaction.

Thanks

Vinod.

Andrea,

Did you find a solution to your replenishment issues?

Hello,

Are you asking about production replenishment? You can use standard WM-PP interface for production replenishment. For this, you have to maintain 319 replenishment movement type in WM, and create control cycle LPK4 for materials for released order parts. This will allow you to bundle production replenishment items by process order, by material, by date or by range of the above.

Thanks,

Hi Andrea,

This part of TRM is very complicated and will be difficult to solve without seeing your systems.

The first place I would look is in WM. Are you creating pick HU's for your replenishment movements? The config is in the WM/shipping interface.

Hi James,

we haven't pick HU. I think that pick HU is only possibile for storage location HU managed. Our replenishment process foresees:

1) Make a bundle of picking from different source bins until

2) Make a bundle of putatway to different destination bins

So in we are facing two main problems that are driving us crazy:

1) The bundle in TRM works only in the pick and pack scenario. So in our warehouse replenishment (LP22) it doesn't work. A solution could be to make a cluster of task but it's not possibile to managed it in a system guided way. Maybe we have solved this problem by forcing HU numbers in the standard fields even if don't exist at IM or WM level. It's a dirty solution, i know.

2) Other problem is to manage a pick and drop. Operator could executed the picking bundle and then leave the mixed pallet in a drop-off point. Next an other operator has to scan the serial number of mixed pallet and put each material to a different bin.

Stantdard system can create only one task with the mixed pallet composed to the final destination while we have the necessity ti have n task.

I don't know if it's clear and someone could helps us in order to implement the scenario described above.

Other problems is that it seems impossible to develop custom functionalities in TRM because frequently the next step in the Logical transaction is harcoded in the standard code

Bye Bye,

Andrea
