Study Notes

Storage Group Configuration in EWM

  • Storage groups can be assigned to multiple storage bins.
  • They can also be used in Process-Oriented Storage Control (POSC) and Layout-Oriented Storage Control (LOSC).
  • Storage groups represent a logical or physical breakdown of a storage type.
  • Within a storage type, storage bins can be combined based on the physics of the storage bin.

Methods of Storage Control in EWM

  • Layout-oriented storage control caters to varying resource needs depending on warehouse layout (e.g., high rack storage).
  • Process-oriented storage control handles diverse processes like unloading, deconsolidation, and Value-Added Services (VAS).

Use Case for Process-Oriented Storage Control (POSC)

  • POSC is applicable when Value-Added Services (VAS) are performed before putaway.
  • Inbound process steps include unloading, counting, deconsolidation, quality inspection, VAS, and putaway.
  • Outbound process steps include picking, packing, VAS, staging, and loading.

Rule-Based Determination for External Steps in POSC

  • Rule-based determination can be selected for destination storage bins in external process steps.
  • Supported internal storage process steps include unload, deconsolidate, quality inspection, perform VAS, pack, stage, and load.

Configuring Complex Processes

  • Storage process control is configured to achieve complex processes involving multiple physical movements and resource changes in receiving and shipping.

Process Steps for Complex Inbound Processes Using POSC

  • Possible process steps include VAS, deconsolidation, and unloading.

Assignment of External Process Steps in POSC

  • External process steps are assigned to internal process steps, representing warehouse processes.
  • Internal process steps are predefined in SAP, e.g., unload, count, deconsolidate, putaway, remove from stock, pack, stage, and load.

Possible Process Steps for POSC in Outbound Processes

  • Possible process steps include VAS, loading, picking, and packing.

POSC and LOSC Determination Order

  • When POSC is configured with LOSC, POSC is always determined first.
  • This begins with unloading in complex inbound processes with process steps and layout-oriented steps.

Possible Process Steps for Complex Putaway Processes Using POSC

  • Possible process steps in the inbound process are deconsolidation, quality inspection, unloading, and VAS.

Warehouse Task Status in LOSC

  • The first warehouse task (source bin to interim bin) has an open status immediately after creation.
  • The second warehouse task (interim bin to final destination bin) has a waiting status initially.
  • The second task activates upon confirmation of the first.

Objects Assigned to Storage Control for Determination in EWM

  • Warehouse process type and Warehouse order creation rule.
  • These are assigned in the customizing settings of warehouse order creation rule or warehouse process type setting.

Object Assigned to External Process Step

  • The external process step is assigned to a work center.
  • Configuration path: SCM Extended Warehouse Management -> Extended Warehouse Management -> Master Data -> Define Work Center for field Step

Warehouse Task Types in POSC

  • Using HU warehouse tasks is a requirement for storage control.
  • The final putaway process step can have product warehouse tasks.
  • Movements between the goods receiving zone to next operation steps such as deconsolidation, counting, and so on, will be performed via HU warehouse tasks.
