Study Notes
NGW transact<context>
NGW transactions update inventory properties without syncing with WCS. Examples include Internal Transfer, uploading changes via Excel template. This 2-step process is prone to human error due to distinct terminal differences in data formatting, leading to discrepancies in inventory levels and inaccurate tracking of stock movements. As a result, manual errors can occur, causing further complications in inventory management.
</context>ons update inventory properties without syncing with WCS. Examples include Internal Transfer, uploading changes via Excel template. This 2-step process is prone to human error due to distinct templates and double effort required.
NGW Transactions and Inventory Updates
- NGW transactions can update inventory properties without syncing changes to the WCS.
- Internal Transfer is an example of such a transaction, which allows users to upload changes via an Excel template.
- This process requires users to make the same changes in the WCS, making it a 2-step process.
- The 2-step process is prone to human error.
- Both NGW and WCS systems require different templates to upload changes.
- The current process requires double the effort from users.
SG Kering Demand Review - Inventory Sync to WCS INC008306520
- The internal process automatically sends a message to WCSR to update the log attribute, but if SLOG or other loggables are not in sync between NGWE and WCS, the system will not update correctly.
- Manually doing the big attribute transfer in the system is inefficient and prone to human error, resulting in double effort for the operation.
- This issue needs to be solved to prevent mismatched attributes in WCS, which would impact outbound orders and stock inventory.
Automated Solution
- The automation features will enable scalable solutions for other customers using SAP and automation together.
- The Infineon page shows that this request covers SLOG transfer, which includes SAP open types 311, 313, and 315, and possibly 312.
Current Process Issues
- The current process is inefficient and prone to human error, requiring manual upload and update of WCS.
- This results in double effort for the operation and potential errors in WCS.
Benefits of Automation
- Automation will save approximately $10,000 per month by reducing manual labor and errors.
- This cost savings will be used to justify the customer-funded project.
Infineon Connection
- Infineon will also utilize this feature, but the exact impact on their operations is unknown.
- The solution will be scalable for other customers using SAP and automation together.
Transactional Information
- The operation will provide transactional information on the number of internal transfers performed daily.
Next Steps
- Clarify and add details to the document, including transactional data.
- Discuss internal review and resource planning with the team.
- Check for existing API in BAU and discuss with Rojo and Buddha.
