Inbound Process with no Packing Information from Vendor

1. Inbound Process with no Packing Information from Vendor SAP Extended Warehouse Management (SAP EWM) Rapid-Deployment Solution V2

2. Inbound Process with no Packing Information from Vendor Physical Activity System Activity Step 1 A truck arrives at the checkpoint and drives to the door A truck arrives The checkpoint clerk communicates the door to the truck driver The truck drives to the door Step 2 Check the delivery note and find or create an inbound delivery (EWM) The GR office clerk finds or creates an inbound delivery note Step 3 Unload the truck and check the goods A warehouse worker unloads the truck A warehouse clerk checks the goods against the delivery note Step 4 Post the goods receipt and create putaway WOs (EWM) *Check also the process Variant for this step The GR office clerk checks the quantities and posts the goods receipt The system post GR , creates and prints WOs Step 5 Truck Departure The truck leaves Step 6 Put away the goods (EWM) A warehouse worker takes the WO printouts and sticks one printout to the goods A warehouse clerk confirms the WOs The warehouse worker moves the goods to the final bin or to the clarification zone (exceptional case) Step 7 – exceptional case Put away the goods from the clarification zone (EWM) A warehouse clerk creates the missing master data and creates an ad hoc WO The system prints the WO A warehouse worker takes the WO printouts and sticks one printout to the goods The warehouse worker moves the goods from the clarification zone to the final bin The warehouse clerk confirms the WO

3. When the truck arrives, the checkpoint clerk directs the truck to a door. The truck driver brings the delivery note to the goods receipt office (GR office). If the vendor has sent an ASN to SAP ERP, the GR office clerk finds the corresponding inbound delivery in SAP Extended Warehouse Management (SAP EWM). If no inbound delivery yet exists in the system, the GR office clerk creates an inbound delivery in SAP EWM. A warehouse worker unloads the truck. A warehouse clerk checks the goods against the delivery note and takes it with annotations to the GR office. The GR office clerk posts the goods receipt. Upon the goods receipt posting, the system creates and prints warehouse orders(WOs) with reference to the inbound delivery to move the goods into the warehouse. The truck leaves. A warehouse worker moves the goods from the GR area into the warehouse. For example, they are moved to two different storage types: a storage type for small parts and a storage type for large parts. The storage type for small parts is divided into two storage sections: one for slow-moving items, and one for fast-moving items. In the storage type for small parts, the next empty storage bin is determined as the destination storage bin. In the storage type for large parts, fixed storage bins are used. Purpose

4. Products that have not yet been categorized as small or large parts or that have no fixed bin assignment are first moved into a separate storage type for clarification. A variant of this process is to trigger the stock placement operations before the Goods Receipt posting. In this case, the warehouse task can be created manually, and the system posts the GR automatically. Purpose

5. You have integrated SAP EWM with SAP ERP You have configured the warehouse structure and master data You have configured your systems for this process Either a purchasing document exists in SAP ERP, or no purchasing document exists yet, but you have set up theautomatic purchase order creation in SAP ERP. Prerequisites

6. The truck drives to the door assigned by the checkpoint clerk. In this process, this step is not realized in the system. Process step 1:A truck arrives at the checkpoint and drives to the door

7. The truck driver brings the delivery note to the GR office, where the GR office clerk checks it against the system data. Variant A: The GR office clerk finds the inbound delivery by the ASN number in the system. In this case, the vendor has sent an ASN, and the inbound delivery is created in SAP ERP and is sent to SAP EWM automatically. Variant B: The GR office clerk finds an expected goods receipt by the purchase order number in the system. In this case, he or she manually creates an inbound delivery based on the expected goods receipt. Variant C: The GR office clerk finds no inbound delivery and no expected goods receipt in the system. In this case, he or she manually creates an inbound delivery in SAP EWM System by entering the data from the delivery note into the system. Instead of creating inbound deliveries manually in SAP EWM, it is also possible to create them in SAP ERP or to switch to SAP ERP from the user interface in SAP EWM to create them. Process step 2:Check the delivery note, and find or create an inbound delivery (SAP EWM)

8. A warehouse worker unloads the truck. A warehouse clerk checks the information on the packages against the delivery note. The warehouse clerk takes the delivery note with annotations to the GR office. In this process, this step is not realized in the system. Process step 3:Unload the truck and check the goods

9. Before posting the GR, the GR office clerk can change the delivery data in the system (for example, quantities) based on the delivery note with annotations from the physical check. The GR transaction offers scanning capabilities for identifying the delivery items by product or EAN/UPC. The GR office clerk posts the goods receipt. The system communicates the goods receipt to SAP ERP. When the GR is posted, the system automatically creates WTs. Using the palletization data coming from the packaging specification, the system creates as many WTs as physical units of the received quantity of the product exist. The system creates one WO for each WT. For products that are not yet categorized as small or large parts, or that do not yet have a fixed bin assignment, the system determines a destination bin in the clarification zone. If the fixed bin or the destination storage type of a product is full, the system also determines a destination bin in the clarification zone. Process step 4- Part 1:Post the goods receipt and create the putaway WOs (SAP EWM)

10. The system automatically prints the putaway WOs upon creation twice on a printer in the GR office. One printout is attached to the goods, the other one is used for putaway execution and confirmation. Process Variant : The warehouse task and warehouse orders for putaway activities can be created manually before the goods receipt posting, if required. Then, the GR posting is automatically performed during the warehouse task confirmation step. Process step 4- Part 2:Post the goods receipt and create the putaway WOs (SAP EWM)

11. The truck leaves the door and the premises. In this process, this step is not realized in the system Process step 5:The truck departure

12. A warehouse worker takes both printouts of the WOs from the GR office. Then, he or she goes to the GR area to identify the goods (by the product short description on the WO, for example). He or she attaches one WO printout to the goods. The worker moves the goods to the destination bin. If the destination bin cannot be reached or if it is full, he or she takes the goods to the clarification zone. At the end of putaway execution, a warehouse clerk confirms the putaway WOs in the system. Process step 6:Putaway the goods (SAP EWM)

13. A warehouse clerk monitors the stock in the clarification zone. If stock exists there, he or she clarifies the reason for the movement of that stock to the clarification zone. If the warehouse-specific master data is missing for the product, he or she maintains it. If the packaging specification for the product is missing, the clerk creates it together with the condition record. If the assigned fixed bin is full, he or she assigns a new (suboptimal) fixed bin to the product. Finally, the clerk creates an ad hoc WO to put away the product. The system prints the ad hoc WO. After the physical move is processed by a warehouse worker, he or she confirms the WO. Process step 7 (exceptional case): Putaway the goods from the clarification zone (SAP EWM)
