How to Configure Outbound Process with Full Pallet Removal and SCO

December 2013 1

1. Business Scenario

With these additional/changed settings it will be possible to remove pallets as well as cartons as well as pieces from the preconfigured warehouse (small/large quantity removal) and to use the shipping cockpit (SCO) for planning of TUs and for execution of TUs.

2. Background Information

There are process test cases provided in the appendix of this guide which make use of the new settings. In general also the test cases from the preconfigured warehouse will still run but the described results might be different for some steps especially in the Outbound Process Using Wave, Pick-HU, Packing, Staging, and Loading. Therefore it is recommended to create your own (standard) warehouse number using the following guide How To Configure an Additional Preconfigured Warehouse Using an Additional Plant in order to avoid interfering with the standard warehouse.

For most of the customizing entries described in this guide, BC Sets are existing. Those chapters are marked with the suffix ‘(BC Set)’. Only the easy access settings have to be carried out manually. Those chapters are marked with the suffix ‘(Mandatory)’.

3. Prerequisites

In the EWM system a standard warehouse with preconfigured processes must be up and running. Based on the already existing settings for the standard warehouse it is recommended to create your own (standard) warehouse number using the following How To guide How To Configure an Additional Preconfigured Warehouse Using an Additional Plant in order to avoid interfering with the standard warehouse.

The Outbound Process Using Wave, Pick-HU, Packing, Staging, and Loading in your warehouse number shall be configured as the alternative process without packing. (See configuration guide of Outbound Process Using Wave, Pick-HU, Packing, Staging, and Loading for more details)

For further information please refer to the following documentation:

Overview

When you create sales order items using VA01 and you enter quantities larger than what corresponds to more than one pallet, you will get single warehouse tasks and warehouse orders per each pallet. The source storage type will be the new storage type T02P which is a copy of T020 but with a rounding rule 2 ‘Round Down WT Quantity to Single Unit’

Example

(taking the settings of the products of the preconfigured warehouse into account) :
