Study Notes

  • Transaction /SCWM/POST facilitates direct posting changes or posting changes via warehouse request documents.
  • Using Transaction /SCWM/POST offers two options:
    • Create + Save Posting Change: creates a warehouse task to perform the posting change.
    • Create + Save Warehouse Request: creates a posting change document to initiate the posting change.

Posting Change Options

  • Posting changes can be executed in three ways:
    • Create and confirm warehouse tasks, which posts the goods movement.
    • Post goods movement first, then create and confirm warehouse tasks, generating a goods movement warehouse task after confirmation.
    • Post goods movement only.
  • Not changing stock attributes is not a posting change option.

Initiating Posting Changes from SAP S/4HANA

  • Posting changes or stock transfers can be initiated from SAP S/4HANA using transactions MIGO or VLMOVE.
  • Initiating from SAP S/4HANA creates an outbound delivery, replicating to EWM to complete the goods movement.

Delivery Document Header Data in EWM

  • Delivery documents in SAP S/4HANA are created for various processes (outbound, inbound, posting change, stock transfer).
  • Upon replication to EWM, the delivery document header contains:
    • Goods receiving or shipping office.
    • Scheduling data.
    • Weight and volume.

Stock Transfer vs. Posting Change

  • Stock transfer involves moving stock to another storage bin, plant, or storage location.
  • Posting change involves altering stock attributes like stock category, batch number, or stock type.
  • The product's physical location typically remains unchanged during a posting change.
  • Stock transfers can be initiated from SAP S/4HANA, creating inbound and outbound deliveries, as well as a posting change warehouse task in EWM.
