Study Notes

  • Yard management is activated at the warehouse level and is optional.
  • Activating yard management happens in EWM Customizing.

Yard Structure

  • Basic elements include:
    • Parking spaces
    • Checkpoints
    • Warehouse doors (for loading/unloading)

Check-In/Check-Out

  • Use transaction /SCWM/CICO to check TUs into the yard
  • Alternatively, navigate via SAP Easy Access menu: Logistics -> SCM Extended Warehouse Management -> Extended Warehouse Management -> Shipping and Receiving -> Yard Management -> Arrival at/Departure from Checkpoint

Moving TUs

  • Use transaction /SCWM/YMOVE to move TUs from checkpoint to door
  • Alternatively, navigate via SAP Easy Access menu: Logistics -> SCM Extended Warehouse Management -> Extended Warehouse Management -> Shipping and Receiving -> Yard Management -> Create Warehouse Task in Yard.

Staging Area and Door Determination

  • Use transactions /SCWM/STADET_OUT and /SCWM/STADET_IN to determine:
    • Staging area group
    • Staging area
    • Staging bay
    • Warehouse door
  • Warehouse process type is a criterion for determining the staging area.

Advanced Shipping and Receiving (ASR) Process

  • The TU/vehicle creation does not happen in EWM, it uses the freight order from SAP TM.
  • A single freight order is used across SAP TM and EWM to reduce document redundancy.

TU Functions (Transaction /SCWM/TU)

  • Possible functions:
    • Assign deliveries to TUs
    • Assign HUs to TUs
  • Deliveries are automatically assigned if the TU is created from a shipment document distributed to EWM
  • For manual planning, deliveries and HUs can be assigned via Transaction /SCWM/TU

Yard as a Structural Element

  • A yard has structural elements, including:
    • Yard storage type (with storage type role as yard)
    • Storage bins for parking spaces, checkpoints, and warehouse doors
  • Activity area is assigned to a group of storage bins and the queues.

Yard Management Functions

  • Functions include:
    • TU check-in/check-out
    • Moving TUs to and from the door
    • Managing TUs waiting to be loaded/unloaded
  • Loading/unloading occurs when the TU is docked at the warehouse door.
  • Loaded trailers are parked in yard bins and the stock is grouped under yard stock.

Shipping Cockpit Functions

  • Can be used for:
    • Creating TUs
    • Checking in TUs
    • Dispatching TUs
    • Yard movements
    • Creating waves for outbound deliveries

SAP Dock Appointment Scheduling Integration

  • Requires maintenance of:
    • Docking locations

  • Each docking location and loading point links to an SCU with the same name.
  • Docking locations represent groups of loading points.
  • Loading points represent sets of warehouse docks or doors.

Yard Storage Bins

  • Parking space
  • Checkpoint
  • Door

Warehouse Door Assignment

  • Warehouse doors are assigned as storage bins with a yard warehouse number using transaction /SCWM/YM_DOOR_BIN.

Staging Area Determination Rule

  • Used in transactions /SCWM/STADET_OUT (outbound) and /SCWM/STADET_IN (inbound).
  • Helps determine:
    • Warehouse doors
    • Staging area groups
    • Staging bay
    • Staging area
  • Staging area determination groups are assigned to the product master.
