Pallet label before production confirmation

[scm_09]

Gurus, I am facing this situation.

we have a 3rd party tool that needs to be connected to SAP.

1)We create production order 1234 in sap for 100 lbs.

2) do production on shop floor

3) manually enter production order 1234 in 3rd party tool, enter 20 lbs yield

4) interface should send 1234 order and yield quantity to sap

5) sap should print a pallet label (internally generated SU number) with material, order number and yield quantity

6) scan the label to confirm production

is this possible? if yes, how?

Hi,

You can get the Order number and yield through PP-PDC interface it will directly update the Confirmation table.

Otherwise if you wish to do a manual confirmation based on the lable number scan then

Write a Z program with Ztables to store the yield and Order number and link it to a Label number (for this again you need to maintain a Z number range)

Could you please explain, what you require in the pallet number- is it the bin number or SU number?

thanks,

JK

Karthi,

I dont need a bin number, I just need a SU number

Are you using WM? and system is set up to generate destination SU number upon TO for GR?

If you have activated SU management for your warehouse, assign the number ranges as External and you can maintain the number ranges in a Z table and print in the label.

thanks,

I assume that you activate SAP WM (since you are using storage unit).

With enhancement, you can do all that. Anyway, it is safer to use standard interface architecture like idoc as much as you can.

#3,#4 your external system can send the file or calling transactional RFC to idoc WMMBID01 (Goods movements for mobile data entry) to report inventory movements.

#5 You also need to configure the SAP to generate transfer orders automatically with IM transactions. The transfer order will generate storage unit and then you may have to create Z program to print out the label from storage unit.

You have to think about the putaway process too. I think your external system will put the stock to certain bin and that should send the interface to SAP to confirm the TO. Please explore the idoc WMTCID01.

For #6, I don't think that there is a standard interface to link to confirmation. You need development there too.

Hope it helps.

ATB,

there is no inventory movement till # 5. let me explain the process again.

we create a shell production order in sap. 3rd party tool will enter the yield quanity for this production order and send that information to sap. sap should print a label for that yeild quanity of production order. label is attached to that yield quantity and we plan to use rf gun to scan the label to do confirmation of production and inventory movements. Hope I am clear.

right now I am not worried about rf scan and inventory movement as I can do that easily with abap work.

my only concern is how to store the yield quantity and order number in sap and then print internal pallet number for that before i do confirmation for that quantity.

we have a 3rd party tool that needs to be connected to SAP.

1)We create production order 1234 in sap for 100 lbs.

2) do production on shop floor

3) manually enter production order 1234 in 3rd party tool, enter 20 lbs yield

4) interface should send 1234 order and yield quantity to sap

You can use SAP standard PP-PDC interface to send the production order data to the third party system (outbound) and to get back the yield (inbound)

5) sap should print a pallet label (internally generated SU number) with material, order number and yield quantity

You need to develop a Z program with number range, to print the label, design a functional spec as per your logic and you ABAPer will take care of the printing, it will be printed as Barcode

6) scan the label to confirm production

You can use RF funstionality to scan the barcode and confirm the production order. (optionally you can use th eproduction order number as your labe lnumber or write down a logic to retrieve the production order number from your label. there are few BAPI available to post the confirmation into the system.

Thanks for the reply, but I have 2 issues in point 5

1. where do I store the information of the yield quantity, order no etc to print the label? a Z table? and then when printing label, I add the external number to it?

2. is there any way that I can generate sap internal pallet number for my situation?

I am not just looking at Standard SAP solution, please let me know if its possible with development work, I will go for it.
