Shipping and Receiving 

Shipping and receiving is a warehouse process for loading/ Unloading of outbound & and inbound deliveries. This involves the use of transportation units with delivery numbers assigned. We will see in this blog all basic configurations needed in ERP and EWM to perform the Inbound Process with TU arrival at the Door àUnloading to Good Receipt Area à Final Putaway to final Bin.

Begin configuration in ERP

Goto: SPRO – IMG – Logistic General – Handling Unit Management – Basics 

Define Packing Material 

Define Packing Material Group 

Define allowed Pack Material type per Material Group 

Create Packing Material using MM01 

Maintain in Sales: General/Plant view Pack Mat type and Group

Do the EWM Configuration

Activate shipping and Receiving for the warehouse 

Check - General settings for shipping and Receiving 

Maintain Control Parameters for TU 

Now it’s time to maintain the same packing Material under the Handling Unit.

Go to SPRO – IMG - SCM EWM – EWM – Cross process Settings – Handling Units – Basics   

We will be defining – 

1. Pack mat type,
2. Pack Mat Grp and
3. Allowed packing Mat type for Packing Grp. 

Define Packing Material Types in EWM

Define Packing Mat Group 

Maintain Allowed packing Mat type for Packing Grp. 

PPF Configurations 

SPRO - IMG – SCM EWM – EWM – Cross Process Settings – Shipping and Receiving – Message Processing – Define Action Profiles for TU 

SPRO - IMG – SCM EWM – EWM – Cross Process Settings – Shipping and Receiving – Message Processing – Define Action Conditions for TU 

Now, it’s time to create Inbound and Outbound Doors with Bins. 

Create Inbound Door Storage Type with Role “F”

Similarly Create a storage type - Outbound Door with Role F. 

Create Storage Sections for the Door

Create Bins for Doors

SPRO – IMG - SCM EWM – EWM – Master Data – Warehouse Door 

Define Warehouse Doors and Assign NR to Shipping and Receiving no

Goto Tcode - /SCWM/PM_MTR

Maintain the MTr, Pack Material 

Goto Tcode - /SCWM/DOOR_SCU

Maintain Door and bins with Supply chain Unit

Check the WPT source St type and bin.

We will be using POSC with 2 steps

Step 1: UNLD – from Source as TU to GR Bin

Step 2; PTWY – From Source as GR Bin to Final Bin 

Goto

SPRO – IMG - SCM EWM – EWM – Cross Process settings – Warehouse Task – Define WPT

SPRO – IMG - SCM EWM – EWM – Cross Process settings – Warehouse Task – Define POSC 

Now Create and distribute Inbound delivery into EWM. 

Note: I have packed the Material in a carton in VL31N before distributing to EWM

Goto /N/SCWM/TU and hit the Create new TU button. 

Follow the steps and assign the delivery number distributed.

TU Status will be “Planned”

And execute, 1 PDI document is assigned now under assigned delivery View

Now Goto Actions – Arrival at Door 

Validate the Inbound Door from the assigned doors view tab

TU status should be – “Active”.
Hit Save.

In the Next step, after TU arrives at Door, create WT

The system will now create 2 Warehouse tasks -
UNLD warehouse task should be open

and PTWY warehouse task will be with status “B” as waiting.
Confirm both the tasks.

The same came validated in TU Load/Unload status (This is Inbound – Unload status is completed).

And then finally after Putaway WT is complete and confirmed. 

Then perform Departure from Door.

Please note:

If you don’t want to create the TU manually in EWM, then we should assign the TU at the time of IBD creation in the ERP system. 

Thank you!
